Abstract

The effects of the leaf meal ofMoringa oleifera(MLM) as a source of protein in the diet ofClarias gariepinususing growth, haematology and serum biochemistry as indicators were investigated. Four experimental diets MLM1, MLM2, MLM3 and MLM4 were formulated, withM. oleiferaleaf meal replacing fish meal at 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% levels of inclusion.The four diets were allotted to triplicate groups of one hundred and eighty (180)C. gariepinus(12.50.03g mean weight) randomly distributed into 12 plastic aquaria for 84 days at 3% body weight daily. Growth variables including Mean weight gain (MWG), Specific growth rates (SGR), Feed conversion ratio (FCR) and Survival were determined using standard procedures. Samples of blood were collected from randomly selected fish samples before and after the feeding trial for haematological and serum biochemical analysis. Results show that MLM has fat, crude protein, crude fibre and ash contents of 5.34%, 26.62%, 18.97% and 12.01% respectively. Mean weight gain was significantly higher in MLM1 and MLM2 groups (16.750.35g and 15.490.22g respectively), with these groups having superior FCR values. Survival rate was 95% across treatment. PCV and blood platelets were significantly higher (P0.05) in fish fed MLM diets.Creatinine and total protein showed significantly higher values in the control group with values ranging from 0.40 (MLM3) to 0.67 (MLM1) and 3.16 (MLM3) to 4.70 (MLM1) and respectively.The results indicate that the leaf meal ofMoringa oleiferacan only replace up to 10% fish meal inClarias gariepinusdiets when growth and haematological parameters are considered.

Abstract

Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Kaliakah Village are exploited in the makepung lampit tradition, in addition to food and agricultural tools. However, the population of buffaloes in Kaliakah Village is very small hence information on their morphology is needed to inform conservation efforts. This study aimed to describe qualitative and quantitative characters in the morphology of male and female buffaloes in Kaliakah Village. This survey study was analyzed on 24 male buffaloes and 30 female buffaloes. Qualitative characters observed consist of body shape, body color, eye color, and horn shape, while quantitative characters measured consist of chest girth (CG), leg length (LL), body length (BL), head length (HL), neck length (NL), tail length (TL), and estimated body weight (BW). The study results revealed variations in body shape (stocky and fat), body color (black and albino), and eye color (black and reddish black) in both male and female buffaloes. Male buffaloes have a CG of 167 19.18 cm, LL of 57.63 5.23 cm, BL of 128.13 7.60 cm, HL of 31.38 3.50 cm, NL of 49.25 5.99 cm, TL of 61.88 6.53 cm, and BW of 740.79 198.59 kg. Female buffaloes had a CG of 160.40 16.53 cm, LL of 57.17 4.31 cm, BL of 127.39 7.55 cm, HL of 30.72 3.67 cm, NL of 72 5.46 cm, TL of 60.56 6.48 cm, and BW of 700.94 168.87 kg. Based on ANOVA (one-way) analysis, there was no significant differences between the quantitative characters of male and female buffaloes. Based on an analysis of correlation, there are differences in quantitative characters that are strongly correlated among male and female buffaloes.

Abstract

The assessment of the effect of replacing fish meal with groundnut cake in the diet of Nile tilapiaOreochromis niloticuswas carried out in a twelve-week feeding trial. The objective of the study was to determine the appropriate level of groundnut cake inclusion in fish feed diet. Ten Nile tilapia fingerlings with mean weight of 7.550.50g were stocked in experimental tanks in triplicate. Varying levels of groundnut cake were incorporated in the experimental diets formulated; the control diet, Diet 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 having 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% inclusion level respectively. The experimental diet five exhibited the highest mean weight gain (8.001.68) and specific growth rate. But recorded the least significant feed conversion ratio (4.011.10). The diet also recorded the best protein efficiency ratio (1.370.30). There was significant difference observed in the growth performance, haematological values and biochemical values in fish fed with groundnut cake compared to the control diet. A reduction in the cholesterol (1.660.13) and Albumin (40.201.10) values were observed in fish fed groundnut cake based diet compared with the fish fed with the control diet having cholesterol and albumin values to be1.830.07 and40.601.60 respectively. It was observed that the use of groundnut cake in fish feed forO. niloticusenhances the growth of the fish. The 100% substitution shows highest weight gain, low FCR and low level of cholesterol.In conclusion, 80% partial replacement of fish meal in fish feed with groundnut cake should be encouraged.

Abstract

Climbing perchAnabas testudineusis a freshwater fish that has economic value and has been cultivated in Indonesia. However, the fish farmers face problems with high-quality larvae supply because the breeding technology for this species is not well developed. Sperm and oocyte storage technology is important information in fish breeding. Therefore, this research aims to determine the best storage temperature using the dry storage method. Six levels of storage temperatures were tested in this study, namely: 29C (room temperature as a control), 8C, 4C, 0C, -4C, and -8C. The oocytes are stored at the treatment temperature for 120 minutes, where every 30 minutes the quality of the oocytes is analyzed based on fertilization and hatchability parameters. The results showed thatstorage temperature had a significant effect on fertility (P0.05) but had no significant effect on hatchability or the normality of larvae (P0.05). The highest percentage of fertility was obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 50.33%; this value was significantly different with other treatments. The highest hatchability percentage value was also obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 12%. This value was significantly different in treatments E (-4C) and F (-8C), but not significantly different with treatments A (29C), C (4C), and D (0C) (P 0.05). The directobservations on the normality of the hatched larvae showed that all larvae had a normal morphology. In general, fertility and hatchability rate decrease with decreasing temperatures. Therefore, it is concluded that climbing perch fish eggs stored using the dry method can only be stored for less than 30 minutes, where the recommended temperature was 8C.

Abstract

Gelatin is a commonly used ingredient in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is obtained through the hydrolysis process of collagen, the main protein found in animal connective tissues.Fish waste such as skin and bone are a promising source for gelatin, however the characteristics of gelatin can vary depending on its source.The purpose of this review is to compare the characteristics of gelatin from fish skin and bones, such as yield, gel strength, and viscosity. The research findings indicate significant differences in the characteristics of gelatin from different types of fish skin and bones. In this study, it was found that gelatin with the best characteristics was derived from the skin of mackerel fish, with a yield of 5.90%, viscosity of 7 cP, and gel strength of 328.57 g bloom. Meanwhile, gelatin from the bones of tilapia fish had a yield of 8.10%, viscosity of 5.85 cP, and gel strength of 376.21 g bloom.It was concluded that gelatin from various types of fish skin and bones had different characteristics, so the specific purpose of using the obtained gelatin had to be considered.

Abstract

Meretrix meretrixis one of the economical shellfish that has been exploited in Kendari Bay, Indonesia. Several studies have been done, but its growth pattern and condition index are not fully known. This study aims to determine its growth pattern and condition index at the Kambu River estuary, Kendari Bay. This research was conducted for 6 months from August 2021 to January 2022. Clams were collected using a rake, cleaned, and brought to the laboratory to be measured for length and weight using calipers and scales with an accuracy of 0.1 mm and 0.01g, respectively. Furthermore, the clam meat was dried using an oven and weighed. Data on growth and condition index were analyzed using simple regression and the Mann-Whitney test, respectively. The results showed that the growth of M. meretrix was in negative allometric conditions, with b values in males and females in the range of 2.20-3.00 and 1.86-2.73, respectively. The condition index of male and female clam ranged from 1.86-2.62 and 1.66-2.41, respectively, and differed significantly by month. The results of the Mann-Whitney test on clam showed that there was no significant difference between August-November and December-January. In conclusion, male and female clam had relatively different patterns based on the observation period, while the condition index was in the skinny and medium category

Abstract

Like gasoline is essential for a combustion engine,feed is indispensable for animals. Besides the main feed, a supplemental diet is essential, even indispensable, to help animals reach optimal production in the ruminant feeding and nutrition system. The main objective of this review was to summarize the research performed across the West Africa area on diet supplementation for African dwarf sheep. By examining some scientific articles published from 2010 to 2021, identified mainly from Scilit, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Springer Nature, PubMed, AJOL, and Scirp, we identified more than 43 feed supplements made from more than 96 local ingredients grouped into 54 agricultural and industrial by-products, seven minerals and vitamins, four fodders, and four binders and other ingredients such as enzymes. The nutritional content of most of those feed supplements based on their crude protein, crude fiber, ash, calcium, phosphorus, and gross energy contents meet recommended standards of NRC. The digestibility of the nutritional component of the feed supplement fluctuates from 20.90% (organic matter) to 94.85% (ether extract). They enabled a good average daily gain (37.03 g to 100 ga good feed conversion ratio (4.62 to 13.73). The review shows that it is possible to achieve acceptable zootechnical performance using feed supplements made with local ingredients available in each West African country.

Abstract

The use of medicinal plants is gaining popularity all over the world; hence there is a need to exploit various plants that could be of economic importance to animal. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization ofCentella asiaticaleaf meal (CALM) as feed additive in layers production. The study was carried out in two phases, the grower phase and layer phase. A total number of 150 birds were used at 10 birds per replicate of 3 replicates per treatments of a total of 5 treatments. The diets contained CALM at five levels of inclusion 0.0 % (control), 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% at grower and layer phases. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design layout. Hence, CALM showed potentials of being natural growth promoting additive. CALM used as additive at 0.2-0.8% inclusion level significantly increased (p0.05) final live weight, weight gain and improved feed conversion ratio at grower and layer phases. 0.6% inclusion of CALM increased packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) and 0.8% inclusion of CALM increased red blood cell (RBC) values at grower phase.At layer phase, 0.6% inclusion of CALM significantly increased (p0.05) PCV and RBC while 0.8% CALM significantly increased (p0.05) haemoglobin (Hb) value but there was significant reduction (p0.05) in total bacteria count (TBC) at the caecum and ileum of birds at grower and layer phases respectively.0.8% CALM inclusion resulted in significantly highest (p0.05) weight of eggs, hen day egg production at 4th, 8th and 12th week in lay. 0.6% inclusion of CALM significantly improved (p0.05) egg weight and yolk weight score at 12th weeks in lay. It can be concluded that the inclusion of CALM in the diets of Isa Brown birds, resulted in better blood profile, haematological and serum biochemical parameters, gut microbial population, egg production and quality of laying hens
