ABSTRACT High cost of conventional feedstuffs and competition between livestock and fish for ingredients necessitate research into low cost, non-conventional feedstuffs for profitable fish farming. In aquaculture, the emphasis is on producing feeds that promote growth and health of fish. There is scanty documentation of the potential of onion (Allium cepa) bulbs and walnut (Tetracarpidium conophorum) leaves in fish production. The growth performance of Clarias gariepinus on diets containing ...
ABSTRACT This research work is on the effect of packaging materials on the functional properties of white garri. in the research work ,three packaging materials were used, namely rice bag, baco bag and plastic bowl. The functional properties that were tested for in this research work were bulk density wettability, gelation capacity, pH, gelatinization temperature, oil absorption capacity, and water absorption capacity. The result of the experiment gave the following bulk density, the value va...
ABSTRACT Hippocampus functions have been reported to be affected by diabetes mellitus. Studies suggest that within diabetic rats, garlic (A.sativum) improves different forms of memory that depend on the hippocampus. However, the neuroprotective mechanisms of garlic (A.sativum) extract possibly mediated by the Na+/K+ ATPase, Ca2+ATPase and glutamine synthetase (GS) in the hippocampus of type II diabetic Wistar rats has not been fully demonstrated. Therefore, the present study determined the e...
