Abstract

Orange-spotted grouper is one of the coral reef fish has the economic value and exploited by local fisherman. Information about the size structure and sex ratio are urgent to formulate a policy for sustainability. This research aims to analyze the size structure and sex ratio of the orange-spotted grouper in Kwandang Bay. The research was conducted from December 2016 to November 2017. Sampling is carried out twice a month for one year. The total sample of orange-spotted grouper used for the analysis of the sex ratio was 149 individuals. Sample of orange-spotted grouper collected from fish landed and middlemen (grouper traders) at the Kwandang Fishing Port. Data analysis applying chi-square. The results show that males bigger than females. The sex ratio of orange-spotted grouper is 87.25 % female, 7.38 % male, and 5.37 % hermaphrodites. Orange-spotted grouper dominated by females and undergoes a gonad differentiation to male (protogynous hermaphrodite). It is concluded that The size of the male orange-spotted grouper is larger than that of the female grouper. The caught orange-spotted grouper is dominated by the female phase and undergoes a differentiation of the gonad from female to male (protogynous hermaphrodite)

Abstract

The present study was conducted to gather the information regarding habitat, population, management, production and economic analysis of the camels worldwide. The main findings of review showed camel population around 25.89 million worldwide in almost 47 countries. Majority of camel herders were reported un-educated. Researchers further indicated that camels generally are reared under sedentary (50%), transhumant (25%), nomadic (15%) and household (10%) management systems. Age of camel famers ranges from 25 to 50 years. The female ratio markedly remains higher than males and young ones because the females are generally used for milk production. However the males are mostly used to carry the luggage, carrying load pulling cart etc. It was also stated by scientists that camels are mostly allowed for open grazing of natural vagetations. Breeding is practiced by natural method and the camel spend 20 to 30 minutes for matting. The female camels reach at the puberty age in 3-5 years, while male at 3.5 to 5.5 years. The duration of estrus cycle in camels vary from 16 to 22 days. Breeding period of camels remain between November and March. The average hair production of camels is 1.63 kg, average daily milk production 6.40 liter. Male have carrying capacity of 553 kg. In conclusion the husbandry practices of camel farming worldwide are based on old traditional methods, however the scientific farming rarely exits. There is no extension services available for the herders to motivate, educate and aware them modern management practices. Market infrastructure, as per study review, is not well established. Mostly the camel herder sale out their animals to middlemen due to long market distances.

Abstract

Reproductive biology is one of the biological aspects that needed to formulate responsible management of blue swimming crab (BSC). The crab is one of the commercial fisheries commodities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Presently no information on the reproductive biology of this crab from Spermonde Archipelago, Sout Sulawesi. Therefore, the study aimed to analyze and compare gonad maturity stage(GMS)andgonadalsomaticindex(GSI)oftheBSCcaughtonthreeecosystemsnamelycoralreef,seagrass,andmangrovein Salemo Island, Spermonde Archipelago. GMS and GSI were analyzed descriptively for five months from March to July 2015. Results indicate there was a difference in GMS of the BSC caught in mangroves, seagrass, and coral reef. Generally, mangrove was dominated by immature BSC with GMS I and GMS II, while the BSC caught in the seagrass and coral reef BSC were dominantly mature and spawn GMS III, IV, and V. GSI BSC caught in mangrove ecosystem are smaller than GSI BSC caught in seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. Seagrass and coral reef ecosystems suitable for development no-take zone of the BSC.

Abstract

Blue swimming crabs Portunus pelagicus occupied Tiworo Strait waters has been experiencing heavy pressure due to high exploitation and damaging its habitat caused by conversion to be a port or jetty particularly in the intertidal and subtidal zones closed to mangrove areas and river mouth. Those zones constitute main habitats of BSCs. The study aimed to analyze temporal sex ratio (SR), growth patterns and condition factor (CF) of BSCs in Tiworo Strait waters which was conducted in June–December 2018. The BSC samples were taken monthly using collapsible pot. Each sample taken was identified its sex, measured its CW and weighed its BW. Monthly SR of male and female was counted, while BW–CW relationship was analyzed using a simple linear regression. Growth patterns and CF were derived and analyzed from BW–CW regression. The results of study showed that monthly BSC SR of male and female showed females preponderated over males, except in November. The growth pattern of male and female was negative allometric (b 3). Data of BSCs CF were mostly influenced by growth coefficient (b), namely the higher b the lower CF. This condition is frequent happening in BSC population dominated by juvenile and mature stages. This study showed most BSCs found in this location were juvenile which indicated as their nursery ground in the intertidal zone dominated by sand substrate closed to mangrove forest.

Abstract

Human and livestock population increase has led to escalating prices of energy feed stuffs used in aquaculture. There have been some researches on various inexpensive agro-industrial by-products as substitutes for maize in fish diets with varying degrees of success. This study investigated the growth performance of Oreochromis niloticus juveniles fed with autoclaved Mango seed formulated fish diet as a dietary energy source at different inclusion level. 150 Oreochromis niloticus juveniles with mean weight of 10.24±0.05g were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5). The fish were acclimated for two weeks and were allotted to five treatments in plastic tanks (26x46x20cm). Each treatment contained 10 fish per tank. The fish were fed experimental diets at T1:0%, T2: 25%, T3: 50%, T4: 75% and T5: 100% Mango Seed Kernel Meal (MSKM) inclusion levels respectively. The highest Mean weight Gain (MWG) and lowest Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) was recorded in Treatment 2: 25% (48.93±4.88); (0.91±0.07) while the lowest MWG and highest FCR was recorded in Treatment 5: 100% (27.30±3.99); (1.47±0.16).  Specific Growth Rate (SGR) was lower in Treatment 5: 100% when compared to other treatments. Feed intake followed a decreasing order. The blood samples collected showed that there was significant differences (p0.05) In conclusion, growth performance and haematological activity could be best improved by substituting mango seed kernel meal at 75% with no implication on growth and fish health.

Abstract

Sarcocystis is a cyst forming intracellular protozoa with an obligatory two-host life cycle. The prey-predator relationships may result in muscular sarcocystis in intermediate host and intestinal sarcocystis in definitive host. The study on the parasites was conducted in abattoirs in Perak with the aim to detect the existence of sarcocystis in small ruminant from the slaughtered carcasses by digestion method and histological examination. A total of 90 fresh muscle samples from 30 goats were randomly collected commencing from March to August 2016. The result shows 23.33% (7 out of 30) of the animals were positive with sarcocystis microcyst with 20.00% (6 out of 30) and 13.33% (4 out of 30) by digestion method and histological examination, respectively. Most of the positive samples were detected from the thigh muscles by both diagnostic techniques. Among the positive animals, 14.29% (1 out of 7) of the animals were heavily infected in which microcyst were detected in the heart, esophagus and thigh muscle samples. No sarcocystis macrocyst were detected upon observation. Even though sarcocystis in small ruminant in this study was reported less than quarter of the samples, the presence of the parasites could not be ignore as it may infect the carnivorous animals. Provide thoroughly cooked meat to the animals will reduce the potential infection of the disease.

Abstract

The length-weight relationship (LWR) and relative condition factor (Kn) are essential biometric tools in fishery studies since they provide information about the fish's growth, condition, and suitability in its habitat. The LWR of 680 samples of Selaroides leptolepis or yellowstripe scad collected from commercial trawls fishing in the Visayan Sea was studied to determine its growth condition. The results indicated that S. leptolepis exhibited an isometric growth (b = 3.023), indicating an equal growth rate of the fish's length size and body weight.  The relative condition factor (Kn) values of the studied species fluctuated between 0.95 to 1.10 from November 2018 to October 2019 study period. The dry season had been observed that might influenced the Kn values 1, which indicated a state of well-being of yellowstripe scad during this season. The current study would provide baseline data about LWR and the relative condition factor of S. leptolepis in the Visayan Sea. These data are valuable for establishing a monitoring and management system for this fish species.

Abstract

Milk adulteration is a serious concern in developing country Nepal and is at higher risk due to lack of government policies. Milk is almost a complete food containing essential nutrients required for growth and maintenance of the body.  Milk is a high-risk commodity that can be adulterated in numerous ways and turn affects milk quality. The quality and safe milk production are one of the biggest problems faced by developing countries, and Nepal is one of them. The reason behind the milk adulteration is more for economic concerns, but the root cause of adulteration is to increase milk demand during the lean season in developing countries and the existing supply chain. Water being cheap is the most common adulterant added in the milk that decreases the nutrient content of milk. Milk producer also adds the preservatives to increase the shelf life of milk, caustic soda to reduce the milk acidity and materials like urea, starch, sugar and milk powder to increase SNF content. Such milk adulterants can possess serious health hazards to the public leading to fatal diseases. This review shows the common milk adulteration practices in-country Nepal and their impacts on food safety and human health and emphasize potential strategies for control of such adulteration practices.Keywords:Adulteration, Milk quality, food safety, human healthself Adam, A.A.H. 2009.

Abstract

The broilers food was provided from  fermented and non-fermented of the raw materials. Fermentation utilizes microorganisms to transform raw materials into useful products, resulting in the production of nutritionally enriched, very stable food products from low-value carbohydrate and protein substrates. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the growth performance, return above feed cost and mortality of broilers given a non-fermented (control) and fermented feeds using plain water, water+15 ml coco vinegar and water +15 ml RPL8+AKE probiotic as fermenting agents. The fermentation process lasted for 72 hours inside tightly covered container in a dark room at room temperature. A total of 120 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatment diets and were replicated three times with ten birds per replication following a Complete Randomized Design set-up. Data on cumulative weekly weight gain (CWWG), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and comparison between treatment means was done by Honestly Significant Difference test using the SPSS version 20.0. Results revealed a better growth performance of broilers under non-fermented diet compared with fermented diets. Significantly (p0.01) highest ADG on broilers fed with non-fermented ration (m=0.397g, sd=0.0086g), followed by water+15 ml coco vinegar (0.365g), water+15 ml RPL8+AKE probiotic (m=0.343g, sd=0.0114g) and plain water  (m=0.314g, sd=0.0057g). Although below the Philippine average (2.0) and standard (1.9) FCR, broilers fed with non-fermented diet had the better FCR (2.3) than those fed with fermented rations. The lowest feed cost and positive return above feed cost on broilers given fermented diets imply a negative impact on the expected profit in poultry production instead of non-fermented ration. However, no mortality was recorded for broilers given a fermented diets which implies that it produces vigorous broilers.

Abstract

The study aimed at determining the nutrigenetic effect of Moringa oleifera (MOSM) on obesity, liver and kidney function parameter of broilers and local chicken. Moringa oleifera has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. A total of 96 broiler chickens and 96 local chickens were randomly assigned to 4 dietary treatment groups. Each group contained 24 birds (8 birds per replicate in 3 replicates) each for both genotypes of chicken in a factorial layout within a completely randomized design such that birds in each genotype were randomly allocated to four diets (control diet contained 0% MOSM and 5%, 10% and 15% graded levels of MOSM as diets 2, 3 and 4 respectively). Obesity was determined through weekly measurement of body weight and body mass index (BMI). Serum total cholesterol, kidney and liver functioning parameters were determined at week 8 by analyzing for creatinine, ALT, AST and ALP. Broilers exhibited higher creatinine, total cholesterol, ALT, AST and ALP but no significant difference (P0.05). Broilers exhibited significantly higher (p0.05) BMI than YENLC. G* Ed interactions were observed at age 8 weeks. MOSM resulted in significantly higher (P0.05) BMI in birds fed 10% MOSM at week 8. Increasing levels of MOSM also yielded reduction in the level of total cholesterol for both genotypes. There was no significant (P0.05) interaction between genotype and MOSM utilization by the chickens and BMI at week 8, cholesterol, creatinine, ALT, AST and ALP. Thus, dietary intervention through the inclusion of MOSM is effective in lowering heart disease risk through lowering of adiposity (BMI) and cholesterolaemia and it has little or no toxic effect as AST and ALP were not significantly affected.
