Abstract

Oxygen is an important factor in the process of fish farming. This study aims to determine the application of FBs pressure that can increase the productivity of comet goldfish farming in an aquaponic system. The research was carried out from January to March 2022 at the Ciparanje Green House, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) experimental method with four treatments and three replications. The treatment used was the application of FBs pressure of 0 atm (A), 5.25 atm (B), 5.5 atm (C), and 5.75 atm (D). Maintenance of test fish for 30 days with ad satiation feeding. Observation of fish growth through sampling is done by taking fish 10% of the total population randomly in each pond. Data were analyzed using the F test at a 95% confidence level, followed by Duncan's multiple range test with a 95% confidence level, while water quality data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the specific daily growth rate of FBs 5.75 was 2.51%, the absolute length growth was 3.33%, the absolute weight growth was 1.70 grams and the fish survival rate was 99.3%.

Abstract

The increasing data on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is worrisome considering its public health relevance. Though, nutritionally rich and globally accepted like poultry products, pigs are potential asymptomatic carriers of S. aureus including methicillin-resistant strains, and thus, a serious threat to consumers. This study investigated one hundred and fifty (150) nasal swabs of pigs from fifteen (15) selected pig farms (PGF) within Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, to assess their levels of exposure to S. aureus and MRSA carriage. Isolation, characterization, and identification of S. aureus and MRSA were done using Mannitol Salt Agar (Oxoid, UK) and Mannitol Salt Agar supplemented with 4µg/ml oxacillin, respectively. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns was done using disc diffusion protocols, while presence of MRSA mecA genes was characterised using PCR. Out of 150 samples analysed, a total of 45 S. aureus was recovered, yielding an overall prevalence of 30 % (45/150), with 28.9 % (13/45) MRSA. MRSA isolates were recovered from only 9 pig farms, with the highest from PGF14 (3 isolaes), followed by PGF 6 and PGF15 with 2 isolates each, and the rest 6 pig farms with just a single MRSA each. MRSA showed 100% resistance to penicillin (n=13) and lowest to vancomycin (n=5; 38.5 %). The MRSA isolates possessed mecA genes and were linked to the multi-drug resistance observed. Findings from this study suggest that some of the studied pigs are exposed to multi-drug resistant MRSA and thus a serious threat to the public. Wise use of antibiotics and well-coordinated surveillance programme is essential to combat this situation.

Abstract

The problems of shrimp farming with semi-intensive systems are leftover feed, organic matter, and toxic compounds that can reduce water quality. Shrimp pond wastewater treatment can be done through several technologies, such as bioremediation. Bioremediation is a biological process that utilizes microorganisms to decompose waste in aquaculture ponds into compounds that are not harmful to aquatic biota. This research aims to determine the effect of effective microorganism-4 (EM4) in reducing ammonia compounds and BOD levels in shrimp pond wastewater. The research method used is a laboratory-scale experimental method. A total of 9 aquariums were used for 3 different treatments with two replications, control, adding EM4 2.5% and EM4 3% to 5 liters of wastewater. The water quality parameters observed were dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, and BOD. Data analysis used is one way ANOVA test. The results showed that there was a decrease in ammonia and BOD levels. The highest reduction of ammonia was found in the treatment with the addition of EM4 2.5%, while the decrease in BOD with the highest effectiveness was found in the control treatment (37.73%) with the initial BOD value 5.3 to 3.3. mg/l . In conclusion, the small dosage addition of EM4 did not have a significant effect on decreasing levels of ammonia and BOD.

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. Centella asiatica is one of such plants that are underutilized. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization of Centella asiatica leaf meal 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 Centella asiatica leaf meal 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, Centella asiatica leaf meal showed potentials of being natural growth promoting additive. Centella asiatica leaf meal 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. The inclusion of Centella asiatica leaf meal in the diets of Isa Brown grower and laying phases, resulted in better blood profile, haematological and serum biochemical parameters, gut microbial population, egg production and quality of laying hens.
