This paper examines the role of African youths in the global agenda. Youths are the powerhouse and future of any economy, so it is pertinent to explore the contributions of youth initiatives to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). The paper adopts the Social Change Theory, which reveals the evolution of societies. Five underlying process...

Contract farming (CF) is a sort of vertical integration in agricultural commodity chains that provides a business with strong control over several operational processes, including the production process, the features of the items, quantity, quality, and timeliness of project execution. Birds were first domesticated by humans as farm animals, and as...

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing maize with High Quality Cassava Peel (HQCP) on the starter phase growth performance of broiler chicken. The experiment took place at the Teaching and Research Farm of Ekiti State Polytechnic, Isan-Ekiti, and it lasted 21 days. A total of 150 day old chicks (Arbor acre strain) were br...

This study investigated the blood indices and growth performance of broiler finisher birds fed 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% High Quality Cassava Peels (HQCP) as replacement for maize. One hundred and fifty unsexed three week-old Abor Acre broiler chicks were randomly distributed to five treatment groups in a completely randomized design. Each treatme...

Increasing evidence has been shown by meteorologists of a consistent rise in air temperature globally. Among other side effects, heat stress will be induced in livestock species reared in the tropics. The tropics include all the areas on the Earth where the sun reaches a sub solar point, a point directly overhead at least once during the year. It i...

The thermoregulatory responses of 4 non-pregnant cow breeds (Jersey, N'Dama, White Fulani and Sokoto Gudali) totaling 20 with corresponding replicates n = 4, 4, 4, 8 respectively were determined in an experiment. They were housed under similar conditions, fed same diet, fairly evenly aged (2-21⁄2 years) with weights ranging from 270 to 315kg. Pulse...

Livestock (farmed domestic animals) play crucial roles in attainment of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. There is also an intricate link between one health (human, animal and environmental) that is advocated by the World Health Organisation and the Sustainable Development Goals which encompasses environmental, eco...

Despite their crucial importance, limited information exists about how livestock are affected by climate change in Nigeria. Changing climatic patterns are manifested through occurrences like abrupt temperature increase, dwindling rainfall pattern, rise in spells of drought and flood. These conditions exert different effects across the geographical...

Rectal temperature, pulse rate, heart rate and respiratory rate of three evenly aged indigenous cow breeds (Sokoto Gudali, White Fulani and N’Dama) were determined daily at two physiological states – pre-gestation and gestation. This was done so as to observe their individual thermoregulatory response. They were housed under similar conditions and...

It is a given that agriculture bears some direct as well as indirect links to hunger and food insecurity in the world. A clear understanding of how agriculture can most effectively contribute to food security is therefore sacrosanct as the world already has more than enough food to feed its population adequately. Agriculture can directly contribute...

The thermoregulatory responses of 4 non-pregnant cow breeds (Jersey, N’Dama, White Fulani and Sokoto Gudali) totaling 20 with corresponding replicates n = 4, 4, 4, 8 respectively were determined in an experiment. They were housed under similar conditions, fed same diet, fairly evenly aged (2-2½ years) with weights ranging from 270 to 315kg. Pulse r...

Twenty cows of four different breeds (Jersey (4), N’Dama (4), White Fulani (4) and Sokoto Gudali (8)) were used to assess their haematological and serum biochemical responses at two different physiological states. At dry (pre-gestation) phase, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration...

In order to determine the physiological response of Jersey cows to the tropical environment of Ibadan, four Jersey cows aged 24.0±2.0 months at gestating and non-gestating phases were studied for their rectal temperature, pulse, heart and respiratory rates. Blood samples were also taken at both phases for haematological and serum biochemical analys...

An experiment was conducted with 180 4 weeks old Marshall broilers to study the effect of methionine and lysine supplementation on the quality of their carcasses. The experiment lasted for 42 days. Nine diets were formulated, the first being the control. Dried layers' droppings meal (DLDM) were included in diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 (25%, 50%, 75% and 100...
