Abstract

Osun River is a major river in the Ogun-Osun River Basin and contributes significantly to fish production and quality source of protein. It is therefore essential to investigate the condition and characteristics of the most abundant fish species in the river. This aim was achieved by investigating the Morphometric parameters, sex ratio, and condition factor of Oreochromis niloticus and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus in the lower section of the river; because these fish species were the most abundant and economically important. Monofilament gillnets were used for fish sampling for twelve months to cover both wet and dry seasons (November 2017 to October 2018). A total of 1597 individuals of both species were collected comprising 40.13% O. niloticus samples and 59.87% samples of C. nigrodigitatus. The correlation coefficient (r) for O. niloticus and C. nigrodigitatus were 0.78 and 0.89 which indicated a high and very high relationship respectively. O. niloticus showed a significant negative allometric growth pattern (b = 2.315) while C. nigrodigitatus showed a growth pattern that was significant and positively allometric (b = 3.102). The mean condition factor (K) was 2.8 for O. niloticus and 1.9 for C. nigrodigitatus. The sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1 for O. niloticus and 1.2:1 for C. nigrodigitatus. It can be said that both fish species responded well in the river and it is therefore essential to maintain optimal environmental factors for the sustainability of these fish species in the river.

Abstract

Experimental research was done in Bubi district, a semi-arid region to find the prevalence of parasites and their related diseases during the rainy season. The research was done in order to identify the prevalence of both internal and external parasites of cattle kept in a wildlife zone and identify age and breed influence on hardiness. In a total population of 320 cattle, 36 cattle were sampled, considering the age and breed. Brahman, Angus, and Beef Master were used, at varying stages of growth namely calves, weaners, and cows and bulls. Veterinary assistance was sort in the identification of parasites, although literature was also used in the process. A high prevalence of external parasites was found in four identified hard ticks; the Rhipicephalus (boophilus) decloratus with an average of 27.44, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (10.50), A.variegatum spp (0.83) and Hyalomma (0.44). Internal parasites were identified from the following species; the Fasciola spp with an average of (1.89), Fasciola eggs (1.28), Trematode eggs (2.81), Strongyle eggs (2.50), and the Ascaris lumbricoides (0.14). The blood parasite found was Anaplasma spp (1.11 bacteria per ml). Weaners were more susceptible to parasitism. Beef master was the most resilient breed against parasites. Brahman and Angus had a high level of disease resistance due to their minimum mortality recorded. Both internal and external parasitic levels were major health threats although no relationship between wildlife-livestock disease interactions was found. Weaners require more attention in parasitic treatment since they were the most susceptible.

Abstract

Fish is an affordable protein source in developing countries such as Nigeria, however, human activities like mining, agriculture, and industrial discharges negatively impact these aquatic resources and their environment. Heavy metals leach into the ocean and accumulate in fish, potentially causing health issues for those who consume them. The present study evaluated the heavy metal concentrations in five commercially important and highly consumed fish species (Clupea pallasii,Merluccius productus,Gadus chalcogrammus, Scomber scombrus,Trachurus murphyi) in Nigeria. The study was conducted between August 2021 to January 2022, and Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb, Cd levels were sampled in a total of 50 fish using the AA 240 Fanst Sequential Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and expressed as mg/kg wet weight. Among the heavy metals estimated in all fish samples, Mn was the most prevalent, while Zn was relatively the lowest. Pb (6.39 mg/kg), Cd (1.39 mg/kg), and Fe (5.59 mg/kg) concentrations exceeded the FAO and WHO regulatory limits and may be deleterious to human health. Therefore, while essential as a protein source, the presence of heavy metals exceeding recommended limits in these commonly consumed imported fish species raises public health concerns. This study emphasizes the crucial need for stricter regulations and consistent monitoring of imported fish to guarantee their safety and consumer well-being in Nigeria.

Abstract

Three hundred and sixty, six-week old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) hens were used to evaluate the effect of processed pigeon pea seed meal (PPSM) supplemented with enzyme (Vegpro) on egg quality characteristics of laying birds. The processing methods were soaking (24, 48 and 72 hours), fermentation (72 hours), boiling (60 minutes) and roasting (30 minutes). The birds were divided into eight groups of 45 per treatment each replicated three times with 15 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. Eight experimental diets were formulated containing processed PPSM at 30 % of diet representing T1 (control), T2 (raw PPSM), T3 (soaked PPSM for 24 hours), T4 (soaked PPSM for 48 hours), T5 (soaked PPSM for 72 hours), T6 (soaked PPSM for 24 hours and fermented for 72 hours), T7 (boiling for 60 minutes) and T8 (roasted PPSM for 30 minutes) respectively. The experiment lasted for 20 weeks. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The results showed that enzyme supplementation of diets containing raw and processed PPSM had no significant (p0.05) effect on egg weight, egg height, egg diameter, egg shape index, egg shell thickness as well as albumen height, albumen diameter, albumen weight, yolk diameter, yolk weight, yolk index and haugh unit across the dietary treatments as these parameters were statistically similar. It was concluded that enzyme supplementation of raw and processed PPSM based diets had no significant effect on the egg quality characteristics of laying quail.

Abstract

The effect of feeding value ofAspergillus tubingensisxylanase-treated rice husk supplemented in the dietary treatment to improve nutrient intake and digestibility, nitrogen retention and body weight gain in WAD goats was investigated. Twenty (20) West African Dwarf (WAD) goats of four to six (4-6) months old with a live weight of 6.5 - 6.6 kg were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments and a control with two replicates comprising two animals in each treatment group in a completely randomized design (CRD). Crude xylanase produced was used for enzymatic degradation of rice husk which enhanced fibre digestion, increases nutritional values and improves performance of WAD goats. The rice husk was initially subjected to physical pre-treatment through milling to increase the surface area. Pre-treated rice husk was treated by spraying the xylanase onto the rice husk at 100g/0.2mL. Xylanase-treated rice husk (XTRH) was used with other ingredients in formulating WAD goat diets at treatment levels of 0 (control), 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (XTRH). The goat was fed on feeding trial for 56 days. Growth performance, nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation parameters were evaluated. Crude protein intake and nutrient digestibility was significantly highest (p 0.05) for goats fed diet 4 with 30% inclusion level of xylanase-treated rice husk than for those fed at 10%, 20%, 40% or the control. Differences in feed nutrient intake and digestibility caused gradual improvement (p 0.05) in body weight gain from 16.07 (g/head/day) in the un-supplemented group to 42.88 (g/head/day) in goats fed at 30% (XTRH) inclusion level. Results showed that performance characteristics of goats fed diet 4 with 30% inclusion level of xylanase-treated rice husk was significantly (p0.05) higher than other treatment diets. The inclusion of xylanase-treated rice husk up to 30% in goats diet may haveincreased nutrients and dry matter digestion, total volatile fatty acids (TVFA's) and microbial protein production. The study concluded that xylanase-treated rice husk included at 30% in the diets of WAD goats improved feeding values of feed byincreasingthe rumen fermentation of fibrous diets and enhanced the growth performance of WAD goats.

Abstract

Spiny lobster is an economically important marine fish commodity that has a high price and one of the important protein source for people worldwide. The quality of the protein is strongly depending on the amino acid compositions and concentrations. This study aimed to determine of amino acid profiles and growth of spiny lobster (Panulirus ornatus) fed with the diet contained combination of three mollusk meal. Four experimental diets were prepared to contain of 40% fish meal,FM (Diet A), 15% telescopium meal, + 15% gold snail meal + 10% scallops meal (Diet B), 15% telescopium meal + 10% gold snail meal + 15% scallops meal (Diet C), 10% telescopium meal + 15% gold snail meal + 15% scallops meal (Diet D) in the test diet. A total of 36 spiny lobster juvenile (initial weight : 120 15,38 g) were distributed into twelve plastic tanks (three lobster/ tank ) with sized of 605050 cm. Feeding the lobster two times a day (08.00 a.m and 05.00 p.m) in dosage of 8% total biomass weight for 60 days of rearing period. The experiment was designed by using completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications. Collecting data included of weight gain, survival rate, and amino acid content in the fish body. The results showed that feeding the lobster with different feed test was significantly different in weight gain of spiny lobster. The weight gain of spiny lobster fed with combination of mollusk meal had higher than the feed contain fish meal. The highest amount level of amino acid in the lobster body was leucine , while the lowest one was tryptophan. The types and total number of some amino acid profiles in the fish body was similarly with amino acid profile in the diets which contained mollusk meal. This study concluded that the amino acid profiles in the diet contained mollusk meal were suitable for requirement to improve the growth of spiny lobster.

Abstract

Technology is one of the crucial factor influences the aquaculture production; hence it is essential to encouragefish farmers to embrace modern methods of fish production by utilizing improved fisheries and aquaculture technologies This study assessed the factors that influence adoption of improved fish production technologies in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted survey design and data were collected through structured questionnaire administered to 150 fish farmers by adopting multistage sampling procedure. It was observed that majority of the respondents were male, married, literate and made use of family labor. The study also found that fish enclosure technologies, neutralizers/fertilizers, and fish stock selectivity/harvesting gear systems were distributed among fish farmers in the study area, with earthen fish ponds being the most widely adopted technology. Furthermore, the study revealed that fish farmers generally had positive attitudes towards the use of improved technologies. The study also found that high production costs were the most significant constraint to the adoption of improved technologies, followed by inadequate contact with extension agents and non-availability of input. The study conclude that the adoption of improved fish production technologies could increase fish production in Ogun State, Nigeria, but there is a need for interventions to address the constraints hindering the adoption of improved fisheries technologies in the study area.

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.
