Abstract This experiment was designed to study the effect of dietary xylam500 commercial enzyme (xylanase + amylase) and dietary metabolizable energy leveland their interaction on the performance and carcass characteristics of the broiler. The completely randomized design with factorial arrangement (2x2) was used in the experiment .Two levels of xylam enzyme (0 and 500 gm/ton/feed) were replicated 5 times with the each of the two levels of metabolizable energy (3000 and 3200 Kcal/Kg),120one ...
Abstract A field experiment was conducted in winter season 2017/2018, at the experimental farm of the College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST), at Shambat, to study the effect of microdosing fertilization at two different application times on forage barley. A spilt plot arrangement on completely block randomized design (RCBD) was used with three replicates. Sowing time viz. at planting and after 15 days of planting was set as the main plot while the m...
Abstract A field experiment was conducted at the College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology, Sudan, Khartoum, during summer 2014 and 2015, to study the effects of sowing date, pollinations and cultivars on seed setting and seed filling of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L).The cultivars were Hysun33 and local .The experiment was factorial experiment with three factors in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Two cultivars, local (PAN...
ABSTRACT A diallel set consisting of p 2 combinations (p parents ½ P(p-1) F2 hybrids, and the backcrosses among eight rice breeding lines were grown in replicated trails. The eight rice breeding lines were selected from an initial thirty one rice breeding lines comprising eighteen medium maturing rice lines and thirteen early maturing rice lines on the basis of their maturity (early to medium ), plant height (semi – dwarf to intermediate ), tillerring ability (low to high) and spikelet fe...
ABSTRACT This study was conducted in Meat Science and Technology Laboratory, College of Animal Production and Technology, Sudan University of Science and Technology, in September 2020 to investigate the effect of adding gum Arabic powder to beef and camel meat sausage, on proximate analysis, physiochemical properties and sensory properties. Three kg of meat (2 kg of beef and 1kg of camel meat), were minced through 30 mm plate and divided into three treatments [(control (0% Gum Arabic powder )...
ABSTRACT Plastic was recognised as the most useful innovation in the 19th century by many scientists for its unique characteristics. However, it has become the biggest environmental hazard in the 20th century when it is disposed as waste. Plastic do not degrade naturally and when it is disposed in an ad hoc manner, it creates numerous environmental problems that can deteriorate the life of flora and fauna. Recycling is one of the most important actions currently available to reduce these imp...
ABSTRACT The study was carried out to determine the agricultural extension needs of farmers in Telfaria production and marketing in Enugu north agricultural zone of Enugu state, Nigeria. Four Local Government Areas (LGAs) namely: Udenu, Nsukka, Igbo-Etiti and Uzo-Uwani were used for the study out of the six Local Government Areas that make up both Nsukka and Enugu zones of Enugu north agricultural zone. In each of these Local Government Areas, two town communities were purposefully selected ...
ABSTRACT Increasing agricultural productivity is now a popular subject across nations as a result of increasing population and an increase in demand for food. Consequently, there is an urgency to adopt modern agricultural technologies which will affect the growth of agricultural output, especially among smallholder farmers. The adoption of innovative strategies to help boost banana production is still low and they are not readily visible in most smallholder farms. The study looked at key inn...
Abstract A twelve-week feeding trial was carried out to assess the nutritive potentials of kola pod husk and to assess the growth performance of Clarias gariepinus juveniles on varying levels of kola pod husk- supplementation. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritive potentials of kola pod husk on the penance of C. gariepinus and its level of incorporation in such diets. Eight acpaimental bowls (6Ox30x30cm~ were used for the experiment There were four treatments with each treat...
Abstract A 49-day feeding trial was carried out with feeds supplemented with microgram quantities of the defatted seeds of Artocarpus heterophyllus in the diets of Clarias gariepinus at the post juveinile stage. Five diets at 40% crude protein were formulated containing 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60x106 µg DAH seed as additive. Each dietary treatment was replicated three times with 10 fish per replicate. Proximate composition of the defatted seed showed that it was rich in protein, carbohydrate and ...
ABSTRACT Successful land management for tree crop production requires good knowledge of the soil variation and suitability for specific tree crops. Most of the traditional rubber growing areas in Nigeria have not been evaluated for their suitability and production potential. Characterisation and evaluation of the land for rubber production was therefore conducted. Soils of two rubber producing areas: Iyanomo, Edo State and Akwete, Abia State were characterised and evaluated using local, Unit...
