Abstract

Feed cost is a major challenge in poultry production, prompting the need for alternative feed resources to reduce dependency on conventional ingredients. Cassava peel, an abundant agro-industrial by-product, offers potential as a feed ingredient. This study aimed to determine the effect of fermented cassava peel (FCP) flour using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the growth performance of indigenous chickens. A total of 100 day old chicks were allocated to five dietary treatments with four replications in a completely randomized design (CRD): Control (T0) (0% FCP), T1 (15% FCP), T2 (20% FCP), T3 (25% FCP), and T4 (30% FCP). Data on feed intake (FI), body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were collected over eight weeks and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Duncans Multiple Range Test at 5% significance. Results show that the inclusion of FCP up 40% had no significant effect (P0.05) on FI, BWG, and FCR. These findings indicate that FCP flour can replace conventional feed ingredients in indigenous chicken without compromising growth performances. Further research is recommended to optimize feed formulation by balancing nutrient content and selecting effective fermenting microorganisms to fully harness the benefit of FCP in poultry production systems.

Abstract

Aquatic ecosystems are increasingly contaminated by pharmaceutical pollutants, including antidepressants such as fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Detected in water-bodies, wastewater, and fish, fluoxetine poses potential risks to environmental and reproductive health. This study investigates the impact of fluoxetine exposure on zebrafish fertility, as SSRIs are known to influence reproductive function in humans. Five adult male-female zebrafish pairs were maintained in 10-litre tanks at 28C under a 14-hour light and 10-hour dark cycle and fed a high-protein diet thrice daily. To establish baseline fertility, each pair was initially spawned once, and the resulting eggs were discarded. The experiment was conducted over three cycles. In Cycle-1, pairs were separated for five days with daily water changes and allowed to spawn on Day-6. Total eggs and live eggs (clear and transparent) were recorded, with dead eggs (cloudy and opaque). In Cycle-2, both sexes were exposed to 3.2 g/L fluoxetine daily for five days before spawning. In Cycle-3, the same protocol as Cycle-1 was repeated without fluoxetine to observe delayed effects. Mean egg-counts were 231(14) in Cycle-1, 427(57) in Cycle-2, and 442(31) in Cycle-3. Significant difference (p0.05) between Cycle-1 vs Cycle-2 and Cycle-1 vs Cycle-3 was observed, while no significant difference was found between Cycle-2 and Cycle-3 (p0.05). Similarly, the proportion of live eggs declined across cycles: 47%(543/1155) in Cycle-1, 33%(704/2139) in Cycle-2, and 29%(641/2212) in Cycle-3. The decline was statistically significant between Cycle-1 vs Cycle-2 and Cycle-1 vs Cycle-3 (p0.05), but the difference between Cycle-2 and Cycle-3 was not significant (p0.05). A strong negative correlation was observed between total egg output and the proportion of live eggs. These findings suggest that fluoxetine enhances egg production while reducing egg viability. This underscores the reproductive toxicity of environmental fluoxetine exposure in aquatic species, with potential implications for human health. The study highlights pharmaceutical pollutions interconnected ecological and reproductive impacts.

Abstract

The use of plant-based additives has helped in the improvement of feed utilization, performance, and poultry welfare. Yohimbe is a botanical additive that could be used to achieve these objectives. A total of 225 broiler chickens were randomly into five (5) treatment groups. The group includes: T1 = Control, T2 = 5mg/kg Larvicide, T3 = 240 mg/kg Yohimbe, T4 = 300mg/kg Yohimbe, T5 = 360mg/kg Yohimbe was further divided into 3 replicates. All replicate groups had 15 chickens each with relatively similar live weights. Feed was served to chickens ad libitum at the starter and finisher phases, while data were collected on intake, growth, and later, feed digestibility. Results showed that chickens served 300mg/kg Yohimbe diet had better digestion of carbohydrates, energy, crude fiber, and livability, while other performance parameters were unaffected. It is therefore concluded that Yohimbe can be included up to 300 mg/kg, above which there was a decline in the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens.

Abstract

The Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is a widely distributed domestic waterfowl species known for its adaptability and scavenging behaviour. This study investigates the impacts of sex on growth traits, physiological, and haemato-biochemical parameters in scavenging adult Muscovy ducks. 100 adult Muscovy ducks (27 males and 73 females) were sampled from free-ranging scavenging populations. Data were collected on growth traits, physiological and haemato-biochemical parameters. The data collected were subjected to t-test and correlation analyses. The results showed significant sexual dimorphism in growth traits, with male Muscovy ducks consistently outperforming females. Body temperature and rectal temperature did not show a significant (p0.05) difference. Significant (p0.05) differences in heartbeats and respiratory rates were observed. Males exhibited higher mean values for PCV, RBC, Hb, WBC, and MCHC. Females demonstrated higher mean values for platelets, MCV, MCH and Neutrophils. Serum biochemical parameters showed no significant effect (p0.05) in all the variables except in urea, in which males had a higher value. Sex-related variations are essential for optimizing management practices, assessing health status, and increasing the productivity of Muscovy ducks.

Abstract

Captive animals are not immune to infectious diseases, including parasitic infections that can be fatal. Prolonged periods of captivity can increase the likelihood of transmission between animals and humans. This study was conducted to identify and document the parasites that infect birds housed at Taman Rusa in the Aceh Besar District. The collected fecal samples were placed in labeled sample bottles containing formalin and stored in ice boxes. Fecal samples were collected, preserved in 10% formalin, and examined using flotation, sedimentation, formol-ether, and modified Ziehl-Neelsen techniques. The data obtained from the examination of the fecal samples were tabulated and descriptively analyzed. The results of fecal sample examinations carried out on 60 birds (representing 28 species) indicated that 39 birds (19 species) were infected with parasites. The nematode class included Heterakis sp. (3.33%), Capillaria sp. (13.3%), Trichuris sp. (6.67%), and Strongyloides sp. (8.3%). The cestode class included Hymenolepis sp. (10%), while the trematode class included Neodiplostomum sp. (1.67%). Additionally, the class Conoidasida protozoa included Eimeria sp. (33.3%) and Isospora sp. (1.67%). The highest prevalence of helminth infection was observed in Capillaria sp. infection (13.3%), while Eimeria sp. exhibited the highest prevalence of protozoan infection (35%). The findings deliver valuable guidance for veterinary health management, disease surveillance, and biosecurity strategies in avian conservation facilities. The identification of parasites with established pathogenic and zoonotic potential, including Strongyloides sp. and Capillaria sp., highlights the significance of these results for both avian health and potential public health risks.

Abstract

Bottlenose Wedgefishes are fish that belong to the subclass Elasmobranchii, which are cartilaginous fish. West Aceh waters are one of the areas directly connected to the Indian Ocean. Bottlenose Wedgefish can be found in the Indian Ocean. Some information on Bottlenose Wedgefish DNA has now developed molecular approaches, which provide a fast and precise alternative to identify species. This research activity aims to report the presence of Bottlenose Wedgefish sharks (Rhynchobatus australiae) and analyze the relationship between Bottlenose Wedgefish sharks found in West Aceh with other regions. This research was conducted from October to December 2021. The specimens were taken from the Ujong Baroh Fish Landing Site (PPI), West Aceh, and analyzed at the Laboratory of Genetics and Aquatic Biodiversity, Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Syiah Kuala University. The results of the study resulted in several conclusions, namely the Query Cover value of Meulaboh 1 and Meulaboh 2 samples of 93%. The Ident value of 99.70%-99.85% indicates that the same species is R. australiae. Thymine (T) nucleotide composition is 30.8%, Cytosine (C) is 24.9%, Adenine (A) is 27.4%, and Guanine (G) is 16.9%. Based on the results of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, the relationship between Rhynchobatus australiae Meulaboh samples 1 and 2 has a close kinship with Rhynchobatus australiae from India1, India2, India3, Malaysia1, Indonesia3, and Indonesia5. This research confirms the presence of Rhynchobatus australiae in West Aceh and establishes a close genetic link to regional populations.

Abstract

The study evaluated the influence of collection time and species type on the nutritional compositions and microbial loads of some frozen marine fish species sold in the Dambatta local government area of Kano State. Three fish species; Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus, Linnaeus, 1758), Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus, Linnaeus, 1758), and Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus, Linnaeus, 1758) were assessed. Nine pieces of each fish species were collected at three different times designated as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd collection times between when a new supply is received and almost finished, making a total of 27 fish from the cold room in Dambatta town. The proximate, free fatty acid, mineral compositions and microbial loads of the samples were analyzed. The results indicated that both the species type and collection time significantly affected all the proximate composition and free fatty acids, except carbohydrates. that was not different among the collection times. Crude protein was significantly higher in T. trachurus than in other species and the highest was 21.93 0.04% collected at the 3rd time. The highest lipid (4.97 0.02%) was also in T. trachurus but at the 2nd collection. Free fatty acid was also significantly higher in T. trachurus. All the minerals were also influenced by the species but collection time affected only the iron and manganese. For the microbial population, Salmonella sp. was influenced by both the species and collection time, it was higher significantly in T. trachurus, and the least was recorded in the first collection. E. coli was higher significantly in S. scrombrus than others and the highest was observed in the 2nd collection. T. trachurus is the best in terms of nutritional composition while the first collection had a higher microbial load, all the microbial loads were within the safety level for fish consumption.

Abstract

Shrimps remain a healthy seafood option found in most recipes of people all over the world due to its rich supply of protein, vitamins and minerals. With this and several reasons, it becomes pertinent for consumers to be informed on the choice of the parts of the shrimps they eat. This study therefore, sought to examined the morphometric characters and the biochemical composition of the whole, flesh and exoskeleton of P. monodon and P. longirostris from Lagos Lagoon. Using standard methods, the species were collected monthly between November, 2022 and February, 2023 and later subjected to various laboratory procedures. The morphometric characters showed that P. monodon is larger than P. longirostris with the total length ranging from 11.00 - 20.00 cm, 8.00 - 14.00 cm, total weight ranged between 9.10 - 30.40 g, 5.70 - 15.50 g (before de-shelling) and 5.60 -15.80 g, 3.20 - 6.00 g (after de-shelling) for P. monodon and P. longirostris respectively. The proximate composition varied significantly (p0.05) in both species for the whole body, flesh and the exoskeleton. The flesh of the species contained the highest amount of moisture (7.91, 7.62 %), crude protein (44.01, 45.63 %) and crude fat (1.12, 1.59 %) while the exoskeleton had the highest amount of crude fibre (0.30, 0.23 %), total ash (36.62, 33.82 %) and total carbohydrate (40.87, 41.20 %) for P. monodon and P. longirostris respectively. The minerals analysis indicated that the exoskeleton of the two species had the highest mineral contents with Calcium been the highest (20.580.06 g/100g, 18.920.11 g/100g) of all the minerals for P. monodon and P. longirostris respectively. Based on this nutritional composition, the various parts of both species are recommended for consumption by all human age groups depending on individual preference. The exoskeleton and the shrimp head which are often considered as waste from shrimp processing could serve a potential alternative for industries engaged in animal feed formulation. It is therefore pertinent to pay attention to shrimp nutritional composition which will be of importance to shellfish biologist and aquaculturist during the feed formulation.

Abstract

Heat stress induces systemic inflammatory responses that severely compromise the growth and health of livestock and poultry. Gradual climate change poses escalating threats to the economic viability of animal husbandry through increasingly frequent extreme heat events. Under thermal stress, persistent inflammation in muscles and tissues disrupts metabolic processes, impairing muscle growth and fat deposition, which translates to reduced yield and quality in farmed animals. Understanding the mechanisms of heat stress-induced inflammation facilitates the implications of intervention strategies. This review synthesizes characteristic changes in key biochemical indicators triggered by heat stress and reviews nutritional strategies aimed at restoring normal physiological parameters, thereby providing references for mitigating heat stress in livestock and poultry and ultimately enhancing productivity and economic sustainability.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the microencapsulation of synbiotics that combine probiotics, Bacillus subtilis, with prebiotic MOS for poultry diet to influence the physical quality of poultry meat. The material used in this study was 100 one-day-old unsexed broilers Cobb 500. The birds were randomly divided into the following 4 experimental groups, with five replications: The treatments were (T1) basal diet (control) without microencapsulation Synbiotic, T2, T3, and T4 supplementation basal diet with 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75% of microencapsulation synbiotics of Bacillus subtilis and MOS, respectively. The variables were physical qualities of poultry meat, including acidity (pH), cooking losses, water holding capacity (WHC), and hardness. The basal diet was formulated to meet completely the nutrient requirements broilers based on NRC (1994) recommendations. The dietary treatments were based on corn grain-soybean meal and balanced with other nutrients. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using the Statistical Package for Social Science or IBM SPSS Statistics version 26, significant differences among the means were determined by using Duncans multiple range test at P0.05. The results showed that the treatment groups did not have a significant effect (P value0.05) on the physical qualities of broiler meat, which are acidity (pH), cooking losses, water holding capacity (WHC), and tenderness. To conclude, supplementation of microencapsulation synbiotic has no negative effects on the physical qualities of the meat reflected in the value of all variables, which are in the normal range of the physical quality of broiler meat.
