Abstract:

Background: The experiment was carried out to assess the influence of varying inclusions of black pepper, alligator pepper and their composite mix on the performance, haematology and serum biochemical components of broiler chickens. Methods: Two hundred and ten (210) day – old mixed sex Cobb 500 broiler chicks were allocated to diets containing 0.25 and 0.50 g/kg each of black pepper, alligator pepper and their composite mix tagged treatments: B and C, D and E, F and G representing 0.25 and 0.50 g/kg black pepper, alligator pepper and the composite mix respectively.

Consumptions of diets rich in fat is very predominant due to the sensational values it adds to the foods. If overconsumed, such foods lead to metabolic diseases. Inclusion of alligator pepper in the diets as means of ameliorating such diseases was investigated. Thirty-six (36) Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 received standard diet, high fat diet (HFD), 1% and 2% alligator pepper-supplemented standard diet respectively. Groups 5 and 6 got 1% and 2% alligator pepper-supplemented HFD respectively. The groups were fed ad libitum for 8 weeks. Blood glucose level, body w

Abstract:

In a tropical rainforest environment, different storage strategies are often adopted in the preservation of primary processed food crops, such as maize, sorghum, etc., after drying and dehulling to increase shelf-life. For breadfruit seeds (Treculia Africana), the current challenge is identifying the most appropriate short-term storage and packaging methods that can retain the quality of stored products and extend shelf-life. In this regard, we compared the performance of a plastic container, a weaved silo bag and a locally developed silo bin for the short-term storage of parboiled, dehulled a

The test fungus was identified using molecular techniques from alligator pepper. Using a pot experimental method, an in-situ experiment was conducted on cowpea (TVX-3236) in the greenhouse to screen for the isolate's mycofertilizer potential. For six weeks, the cowpea was planted in six replicates in loamy soil. P. citrinum treatment was applied to the cowpea leaves in the following amounts 20 ml, 35 ml, 5

This study evaluated the involvement of rural women in the collection of forest products. Three hundred rural women involved in gathering of forest products were selected by a three stage sampling technique while primary data were collected with the use of interview schedules as well as Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Analysis of data was done using frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation, correlation and Chi-square. The study revealed that majority (61%) of the women were in their economically active ages, married (76.7%), with mean age and household sizes of 39years, 6 persons

The study was carried out to evaluate the impact of different spices on the sensory and nutritional qualities of meat from various chicken breeds in Bauchi Local Government Area, Bauchi State, Nigeria. Eight matured cocks from four breeds (local, broiler, noiler, and brahma) were stabilized for one week on a broiler finisher diet before slaughter. Post-slaughter, the birds were portioned, and each portion was marinated with 4 grams of specific spices (garlic, ginger, turmeric, cloves, and alligator pepper) for 30 minutes. Sensory evaluation conducted by a panel of 50 individuals revealed that

Abstract:

Alligator pepper (Aframomum melegueta) seed meal (APSM) was used as an alternative growth promoter in diets of FUNAAB Alpha broiler chickens. One hundred and fifty (150) 1-day-old chicks were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design into five treatment groups, three replicates per treatment with ten birds per replicate. The birds were fed basal diet containing APSM at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g/kg for the 8 weeks experimental duration. Data were collected on feed intake (FI), weight gain (WG), and feed conversion ratios (FCR) were calculated for both phases of growth of broiler chicken. Resu
