Abstract

Edwardsiella tarda infection in fish results in economic losses in aquaculture industries worldwide. Besides, this pathogen is also a zoonotic agent causing gastrointestinal disease in humans. Detection of virulence factors expressed by E. tarda is a key for molecular diagnosis. This study aimed to design SYBR®Green-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) primer for E. tarda virulent protein C (EvpC) gene. A sequence of EvpC with accession number AY424360.4:6500-6991 obtained from GenBank NCBI was selected as the basis for qPCR primer design. qPCR primers were designed using Primer3 online software. Further analysis related to the secondary structure of each primer was carried out using Beacon Designer Free Edition. Five pairs of qPCR primers were successfully designed with Primer3. Based on the results of Primer3 and Beacon Designer analysis, F primer pair 1 (5'-GAATCCACCGACGATAAGCACAAA-3') and R primer pair 1 (5'-GACACGCAGCACCGACATCA-3') were the most favorable primer set since this primer met the criteria in terms of length, melting temperature, GC content, and self complementarity. In addition, this primer set had the highest (closest to zero) -ΔG value of cross dimer, self dimer, and hairpin. It can be concluded that SYBR® Green-based qPCR primer set for EvpC has been successfully designed. However, laboratory optimization experiments are essential for this designed primer set.

Abstract

Aspects of the growth pattern, reproductive biology, and molecular characteristics of two cichlids, Sarotherodon melanotheron and Coptodon zillii were investigated in Lagos Lagoon. A total of twenty-nine individual species were collected from the Lagos Lagoon. Blood samples were obtained for DNA extraction and analysis from 9 specimens of each species. The morphometric data of S. melanotheron varied from 2.5-4.5cm (head length), 13.5-18.0cm (total length) and 35.00-135.00g (body weight), while that of C. zillii were 2.0-4.5cm, 12.0-21.5cm and 39.00-228.00g respectively. The growth pattern of S. melanotheron showed a positive allometric, b= 3.324, while that of C. zillii showed a negative allometric pattern with b= 2.715. The condition factors of S. melanotheron and C. zillii ranged from 4.15-4.55 and 4.12-5.07 respectively. The sex ratio for S. melanotheron was 1: 0.18, while C. zillii had a sex ratio of 1:0.33, and these were statistically significant (p 0.05). From the molecular characterization analysis, the DNA concentration ranged from 48-1265ng/µl and DNA purity ranged from 1.49-1.82. These findings form baseline information for conducting further investigations on the taxonomy, ecology, conservation of the genetic purity of these fisheries resources in Lagos Lagoon.

Abstract

In recent years, livestock production has been heavily affected due to the effects of climate change with shortages in feed being recorded. A study was conducted to determine the effect of fermented Sorghum bicolor grain on the growth of broiler chickens. The study aimed to utilize available feed resources without compromising on animal productivity and health. A total of 160 day-old Cobb broiler chicks were used which were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments of 10 birds for each treatment. The treatments were replicated four times. Different levels of ground, LAB-treated sorghum were analyzed on growth performance, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass, and organ weights. The diets were each formulated as T1, T2, T3, and T4 for 25%, 50%, 75%, and 0% LAB-treated sorghum inclusions respectively. T4 was the control. The remaining percentage was filled with general feed which is the commercially available feed. The results revealed that growth performance and FCR of the broilers on T1 were similar to those of the control diet but interestingly superior (P0.05) to T2 and T3-fed birds. Birds fed on T3 had a low feed intake (p0.05) as compared to other treatment diets. Mortality was depressed (p0.05) in T1 as compared to T2, T3, and T4 respectively but was significantly (p0.05) similar between T4 (control) and T2. Live weight of birds with 25% sorghum inclusion compared favorably with the control (T4) (P0.05) as was the carcass and percentage dressed weights. Internal organ weights (liver, gizzard, and heart) of the 3 treatments (T1, T2, and T4) were significantly (p0.05) lower than that of birds under T2 (50% sorghum inclusion). It was concluded that the inclusion of 25% LAB-treated sorghum in broiler rations brought about a better performance than 0%, 50%, and 75% LAB-treated sorghum inclusion levels.

Abstract

Though use of cement as a binder has produced acceptable results in the manufacture of feed block, there are questions on the possible negative health effects and high cost associated with the use of building cement in the production of feed blocks. The objective of the study was to compare supplementation effect of cement and bentonite + cement as binders in optimised ash-based winter blocks on feed intake, weekly weight gain and hair characteristics of beef cattle. Sixteen Brahman x Boran crossbred heifers with initial body weight of 250 ± 5kg were allocated to four treatments in a completely randomized design. Treatments based on the binder used in fabricating the optimized ash-based vitamin-mineral winter block were: cement agglutinated block, bentonite + cement agglutinated block, negative control (no supplement), and positive control (commercially available winter block). Animals were penned and fed on Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) hay constituting 11% crude protein (CP); 8 MJ/kg DM for seventy days (dry season). Feed and supplement blocks were weighed daily animal weights were collected on weekly basis. Hair samples were measured at the beginning and end of the experiment. There was no significant difference in voluntary feed intake between bentonite + cement block and the positive control (P0.05). Block intake was significantly higher (P0.05) for the commercially available block (0.70±0.05kg/head/day) than in the cement agglutinated block (0.44±0.04 kg/head/day) and the bentonite + cement agglutinated block (0.49±0.04 kg/head/day). All animals that received supplement block had significantly higher weight gains than those that did not receive supplement (P0.05). There was no significant difference in hair length across all treatments (P0.05). Ash-based winter block agglutinated by a combination of cement and bentonite clay is a viable supplement which helps trim down amount of cement in feed blocks and improve animal performance. Use of the locally produced optimised ash-based vitamin-mineral block for nourishing ruminant animals is highly recommended.

Abstract

The length-weight relationship (LWR) and relative condition factor (Kn) are essential biometric tools in fishery studies. They provide information about the fish's growth, condition, and suitability in its habitat. LWR values were estimated for nine fish (Chloroscombrus chrysurus, Larimus breviceps, Nebris microps, Odontognathus mucronatus, Paralonchurus brasiliensis, Pellona harroweri, Ointmentsys corvinaeformis, Selene setapinnis, Stellifer rastrifer) captured as bycatch in shrimp trawling from commercial trawls, were collected monthly, between March and November 2019. The coefficient b ranged from 2.7547 to 3.4100 and the Fulton and relative condition factor ranged from 0.39 to 1.38 and 1.00 to 1.02, respectively. The current study would provide baseline data about LWR and the relative condition factor for these species captured in northeast Brazilian coast. These data are valuable for establishing a monitoring and management system for this fish species

Abstract

The present work deals with length-weight relationship (LWRs) and relative condition factor of Selar crumenophthalmus. Totally 416 individuals of Bigeye scad were resolved for LWRs relationship, with 164 males and 252 females. This study recorded the minimum length of 16.5 cm corresponding to the weight of 29.9 g, and the maximum length of 24.6 cm corresponding to the weight of 179.7 g. The logarithmic exponent ‘b’ values remained greater than 3 and stated as 3.1 for males, 3.2 for females with correlation coefficient of 0.9415 and 0.9494 respectively at 5% level. The calculated relative condition factor (Kn) fluctuated from 0.89 to 0.98 with mean value of 0.95 ± 0.001 for males and in the range from 0.91 to 1.0 with mean of 0.96 ± 0.0008 for females. The Kn value remains as evident that the Bigeye scad was in healthy condition in the present study.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of extruded pineapple pomace diet on growth and apparent digestibility coefficient of catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Four dietary extruded treatments of pineapple pomace Control (0%), T1 (10%), T2 (15%) and T3 (20 %) were fed ad libitum to catfish (21.05±0.04 g) for 60days. The final weight (53.52 - 57.45 g), weight gain (31.98 - 35.88 g) and feed conversion ratio (1.26 – 1.38) were relatively increased, while treatments up to 15% of pineapple pomace inclusion showed better performance. Fish survival rate (90.32 - 96.78%) showed significant difference. There were no significant differences (P0.05) in carcass composition among different dietary treatments. Apparent digestibility coefficient for crude protein, crude fibre and ash were highest in T2 (15%) and T3 (20%). The results indicated that pineapple pomace flour can be an ingredient in catfish diet for up to 20%. Key words: extruded; growth; apparent digestibility coefficient; carcass; proximate.

Abstract

Males and females broodstock of Clarias gariepinus (mean weight, 884.00±2.83g) were subjected to dietary supplementation of Cattle Stick (Carpolobia lutea) Leaf (CSL) at different inclusion levels of 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% to evaluate the efficacy of the plant for growth performance and fertility enhancer.  Clarias gariepinus broodstock (96) were allocated into 12 experimental fibre tanks at 8 fish per tank (4 males and 4 females) fed 40% crude protein at 3% body weight twice daily for 56 days. Each treatment was done in triplicate.  Biological evaluation and reproductive indices were measured. There was significant difference (P0.05) in weight gained by fish fed experimental diets.  Fish fed experimental diets containing CSL showed significantly higher (P 0.05) reproductive indices compared to the control diet. 0.5% inclusion level of CSL showed better performance in term of growth performance and reproductive indices and may be considered to be the best tolerance inclusion level for growth performance and fertility enhancer. The results of the study indicate that incorporating Cattle stick leaf diets in fish feed at 0.5% may have the potential for growth performance and fertility-enhancing agent in male and female C. gariepinus broodstock.Keywords: Clarias gariepinus, Carpolobia lutea leaf Growth, Reproductive indices, Broodstock

Abstract

Principal component analyses were used to evaluate sexual dimorphism and the relationship among morphometric traits of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). A total of 153-day old quails (92 males and 61 females) were used in the study. The birds were housed in a wooden cage and fed ad-libitum. Data on body weight, body length, body girth, shank length, drumstick, wing length, keel length and shank length were obtained on a weekly basis using digital scale balance, measuring tape, and vernier caliper for a period of eight weeks. Principal component analysis was performed on the data obtained using the dimension reduction with factor analysis and morphometric traits were also correlated with body weight using SPSS statistical package version 21. Female birds had a significant higher (p0.05) body weight, body girth, drumstick, and wing length value than male counterpart, while no significant difference was observed for body length and shank diameter in both genders. A significant (p0.05) high and positive correlation coefficient was obtained between body weight and other linear measurements in both sexes. For both the male and female birds, one principal component was extracted, which explained 87.79 percent and 91.34 percent of the total variation observed in both species, respectively. . The principal components had its highest loading on keel length for both male and female Japanese quail and correlated highly with all parameters measured. Thus, the keel length could be used as selection criteria for improving body weight of Japanese quail.

Abstract

This study examined the length-weight relationship and condition factor of Hydrocynus forskahlii (Cuvier, 1819) in River Yobe, Northeast, Nigeria. A total of 350 fish species were collected from commercial fishermen at four landing sites (Gogaram, Dogona, Bize, Azbak) within the study area between June to November 2020. The morphometric and meristic characteristics examined could be attributed   to environmental variations (water temperature, stress, food availability, spawning ground, fishing intensity and sex). Monthly mean condition factor (1.19 ± 1.03) shows significant difference (P 0.05) during the sampling duration while highest mean condition factor was recorded in October (1.38 ± 1.15). Also change in weight of the sampled fish was caused by 77.4% change in length. A linear relationship was established with b value (1.2656) indicating a negative allometric growth pattern while correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.7775) indicated that LWR model is reliable. This study bridged literature gap on LWR and condition factor of Hydrocynus forskahlii in River Yobe, hence further research should be encouraged on the water body for sustainable utilization, decision making and policy formulation.
