A study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial and antioxidative effects of Aloe barbadensis leaf methanolic extract (ABLME) on the quality and spermatozoa fertilising potential of extended goat semen. 100 g of fresh A. barbadensis leaves were washed, chopped, dried, ground and extracted with 95.0% methanol (ABLME). The ABLME was added to e...

Blood serves as physiological indicator of assessing quality of feed offered to an animal, their health status and body functionality. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the haematological and serum biochemical profiles of growing female pigs fed diets with varying levels of Spondias mombin leaf meal (SMLM). Sixteen growing female pigs weigh...

Semen evaluation is a routine practice in breeding soundness evaluation and investigation of fertility breeder male farm animals. Artificial insemination (A.I.) requires an objective and rapid, but inexpensive, method to evaluate ejaculates. The goal of semen assessment is to predict fertilising ability of the semen of breeding buck. A study was co...

The role of the environment in the survivability of an animal is paramount and blood profiles are part of the indices for measuring the health status. Therefore, a study was carried out to determine the blood profile of prominent indigenous breed of sheep (Ram) viz: West African Dwarf, Yankasa, Balami and Ouda breeds reared in Ikorodu Local Governm...

Heat stress is a situation in which the animal body has problems dissipating excess heat due to breakdown in maintaining homeostatic body core temperature which resulting to inadequate heat dissipation and discomfort. In this study, Spondias mombin leaf meal (SMLM) rich in ascorbic acid was supplemented in feed aimed at determining effect on select...

Variation in body measurements and semen quality of Nigeria sheep breeds small holder farmers enjoy in rearing small ruminants however, there are paucity of information on the morphometric traits and semen characteristics of Nigeria breeds of sheep in Ikorodu. Therefore, the effects of breeds on body measurements and semen quality of four sheep bre...

Fertilizing potential of spermatozoa is pivotal for successful artificial insemination. Preservation of boar semen is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species which leads to decline of spermatozoa quality and decrease in fertilizing ability. The study aimed at investigating the effects of Ethanolic Allium sativum Extracts (EASE) as...

The increasing cost of conventional feeds calls for the unconventional ones. The effect of Allzyme®SSF and diet physical form on performance, haematological and serum biochemical indices of growing pigs fed with palm kernel meal-based diet was determined. Twenty four growing pigs comprising of twelve male and twelve female weighing 8.95±1.01Kg were...
