The morphometric characterisation of indigenous taurine breeds of cattle in their natural environment was undertaken in three agroecological zones of Cameroon. Descriptive traits for 97 animals, such as sex, age, coat colour, skin pigmentation, ear shape, and temperament, were observed visually and recorded for each breed identified. Biometric info...

The Cameroon Kabir chicken has several production traits which makes it desirable by many farmers and hobbyists. This study was aimed at evaluating the potential of P. ginseng as a feed additive in the diet of Cameroon kabir hens reared under intensive conditions. A total of 84 kabir chickens were weighed and assigned to four dietary treatments. Th...

Nghonjuyi., et al. Abstract Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species are pathogens of significant public health interest to which new antibiotics therapies are urgently needed, where they have extended Spectrum of Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) activity. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-production among the environmental isolates of E...

Garlic (Allium sativum L) is a bulbous vegetable well known for its medicinal properties and as a growth promoter. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of garlic as a feed additive on broilers in Buea. This effect was examined in terms of growth, carcass, haematology, and serum biochemistry. One hundred fifty broiler chickens of age...

Agricultural productivity should be a central term in the Africa's primary sector, the sector must be strong enough to create and foster both wealth and wellbeing, most particularly for its direct actors. In Cameroon, like in the rest of the continent, the agricultural sector remains a great contributor of economic growth and Livestock production p...

The study evaluated the socioeconomic , production parameters and challenges facing Cameroon taurine cattle farmers in ten regions of Cameroon. A single-visit using the multiple-subject survey method was carried out by face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires. A total of 175 farmers were interviewed in the presence of their animals f...

Background and Objective: The poultry industry is greatly impeded by coccidiosis and these parasites have developed resistant strains to most of the synthetic treatments applied. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of aqueous leaf extracts of Carica papaya (C. papaya ) and Aloe vera (A. vera ) on parasitological and haematological par...

Poultry production is relentlessly impeded by parasitic infections, of which one of the most persistent and most devastating is that of helminth. Of the helminth parasites, Ascaridia galli is inordinately the most pernicious and most prevalent among roundworms that cause debilitating health problems. Ascaridia galli-infected chickens were treated w...

Each year, more than 30 million African women in malaria endemic areas become pregnant and are at risk of infection with Plasmodium falciparum. In Cameroon, the disease is annually responsible for 30 to 35% of the total deaths, 35% of childhood mortality and 40 to 45% of morbidity cases. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among pr...

There is a significant increase in the use of pesticide and these chemicals have potential adverse effects on human health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to pesticides on the liver, heart and lungs functions of 296 cocoa farmers with more than 1 year experience. One hundred non-farmers were recruited as a control group to...

Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species is a serious disease in the poultry industry. Anticoccidial efficacy, growth and haematological parameters of ethanolic extract of Aloe vera were tested against coccidiosis in Kabir chicken. Fresh A. vera leaves were harvested, dried in gentle heat, ground and the sieved powder was used to prepare an ethanolic...

Coccidiosis remains one of the main diseases affecting performance in poultry. This work was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of an ethanolic leaf extract of Carica papaya with regard to growth, parasitological and haematological parameters in Eimeria-infected KABIR chickens. Fresh leaves were harvested, dried in gentle heat, ground and sieved powd...

This research was an active surveillance of gastrointestinal parasites that parasitize rural birds in Fako Division, South West Cameroon. Eight hundred and eighty eight sterile samples of the faeces of 889 rural birds were collected randomly from 4 localities in Fako Division. These were immediately transported to the laboratory for analysis by the...

This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence, intensity of infection and management systems associated with gastrointestinal (GIT) parasites in grazing ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats). Faecal samples were collected from 277 cattle, 104 sheep and 94 goats, from different areas in Jakiri. Samples were analysed using the Formol-ether conc...
