Abstract:

The effect of temperature on the antibacterial property of fermenting beniseed was assessed on six diarhoeagenic bacteria by keeping the fermenting seeds at 40C and 290C respectively. Both the liquor and the slurry were used in this study. The pH, total titratable acidity, microbial load and the microflora of the samples kept at the two different temperatures was determined daily for 7 days. The results showed that the liquor kept at 290C had its highest antibacterial activities after 24hrs of fermentation while the sample kept at 40C had its highest antibacterial activities after 72hrs of fermentation. The highest inhibitory effect was observed on B.cereus with zone diameter of 42mm by the sample kept at 290C and 36mm the sample kept at 40C. This result, when compared with standard commercial antibiotics showed that the fermenting liquor is more effective against four of the six bacteria used. The microbial load of the fermenting liquor increased from 2.4 x104 cfu/ml to 9.2x106cfu/ml in the sample kept at 290C and 2.4x104 cfu/ml to 2.8 x105 cfu/ml in the sample kept at 40C by day 4. Microorganisms found to be associated with the fermentation are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Pediococcus cerevisiae and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The pH of the fermenting liquor decreased from 5.50 at day 0 to 4.90 by day 4 for the sample kept at 40C while it decreased to 3.80 by day 4 for the sample kept at 290C. The total titratable acidity for the sample kept at 40C was highest by day 1 with a value of 27.00 and lowest by day 6 with a value of 10.00 while the one kept at 290C recorded the highest value of 56.10 by day 1 and lowest value of 15.50 by day 4. Since the fermented liquor significantly inhibited the growth of the test organisms used, it is therefore suggested that in the absence of antibiotics, fermented beniseed liquor can be used to treat diarrhoea within 24hours in rural areas where they may not be quick access to conventional antibiotics and can be used up to seven days when preserved in refrigerator to combat diarrhoea caused by these organisms.

Abstract:

The study evaluated the sensory and nutritional attributes of blends of white maize and beniseed(Gorigo) flour sweetened with date fruit in cake production. The experimental research design was adopted for the study.Six coded samples of cake produced from wheat, Maize flour, beniseed flour and date fruit: WHS(100%Wheat +Sugar), WHD(100% Wheat +Date), MS(100% Maize+sugar), MD(100% Maize +Date), MBS(50% Maize+50% Beniseed+sugar), MBD(50% Maize+50% Beniseed+Date) were subjected to proximate content dtermination and sensory evaluation. The data obtained were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics.The result revealed that there was significant difference (p<0.05) in the colour, aroma, taste, texture and overall acceptability of the products, with the sampleWHSbeing most preferred and the sample MD (being least preferred. Sample MBD was least preferred across all sensory quality and overall acceptability.Result of nutritional composition of samples showed that crude protein, moisture, crude fat, crude fibre and ash increased from 7.31 to 11.70, 9.80 to 12.47, 17.26 to 20.17, 2.03 to 2.35, and 1.05 to 1.84 respectively in the maize-beniseed-datesample. However, carbohydrate content reduced from 60.27 in the wheat-date sample to 1.49 in the maize-beniseed-date sample. WHS was most preferred with mean score of 7.73, while sample MDwas least preferred with mean score of 5.40.The study concludes that the maize-beniseed-date sample least preferred across all sensory qualities, the nutritional composition of sample showed that crude protein, moisture, crude fat, crude fibre and ash increased in the maize-beniseed-date sample. It was therefore recommended that the production of maize-beniseed-date sample should be encouraged for its rich source of nutrients, and dietitians should recommend the maize-beniseed-date caketo patients with gluten sensitivity (Celiac patients) and those with protein-energy malnutrition.

Abstract:

The acha (Digitaria exile staff) grain was washed (tap water), sun dried, milled and sieved (400mn sieve aperture) to produce acha flour. The beniseed(Sesamum indicum) seeds were sorted, washed, sun dried, milled, defatted (using ethanol), dried and sieved (400mn sieve aperture) to produce beniseed flour. The defatted beniseed flour was substituted into the acha flour at 0-20% to produce beniseed-acha composite flour. This was mixed with fat, sugar, salt, baking powder to produce batter. The batter was rolled (on a steel table), cut into shapes (using biscuit cutter), placed on greased trays and baked at 160oC for 20 minutes. The effect of added defatted beniseed on the physical, chemical and sensory quality of acha–beniseed composite biscuit were evaluated. The protein, fat, moisture, ash, breaking strength and spread ratio increased from 10.5 to 12.9, 1.80 to 2.15, 1.0 to 1.6, 1.20 to 3.20%, 1.49 to 1.67kg and 6.0 to 7.25, respectively with increase in the percentage of added defatted beniseed. However, the average means of the sensory properties decreased from 8.30 to 4.30, 7.20 to 5.80, 8.50 to 6.30, 8.30 to 4.20, and 7.90 to 3.70 for color, texture, appearance, flavor and general acceptability, respectively at p ≤ 0.05 level of acceptance. The addition of defatted beniseed above 10% has a significant negative effect on the acceptances of the product. There was an increase of 12 and 16.4% of protein and fat content respectively, at the maximum acceptance level (10%) of the added beniseed flour.

Abstract:

Eating snacks during lunch periods has become a way of life for school children and the busy working class people in most urban cities in developing nations like Nigeria. Providing nutritious and healthy snacks remains a major challenge for the food industry to tackle, including the issue of sugar and carbohydrate contents in snacks which predisposes obesity. Nutritional and sensory characteristics of baked foods produced from wheat/beniseed flour composite were investigated with the aim of producing healthy and nutritious baked foods. Beniseed was substituted in wheat flour so as to increase the protein content and enhance the nutritive value of baked food produced from such composite flour. Beniseed was substituted in wheat flour at 3 levels (10%, 20%, 30%) with other ingredients to produce bread and cake. The samples were analyzed for proximate content, vitamin A and C, antinutrients, minerals and sensory properties. Proximate and mineral contents, as well as Vitamin A and C content of the bread and cake showed significant increases (P&gt;0.05) with increase in beniseed substitution levels. The level of total oxalate and soluble oxalate significantly increased (P&lt;0.05), while phytate and tannins significantly (P&lt;0.05) decreased with increase in beniseed substitution level. There was no significant difference (P&lt;0.05) in the panelist ratings for taste, color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability of 10% beniseed substitution for bread and up to 20% beniseed substitution for cake with the control. The results indicate that a healthy and nutritious snack could be produced from wheat and beniseed flour composite. This study is of public health significance in Nigeria.

Abstract:

Weaning foods should complement the nourishment the baby receives from milk. This study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional value of Rice-Beniseed (R-B) flour-blends in rats’ pups. The objective of the study was to determine the Nutritive value of Rice-Beniseed flour blends of rats’ pups weaned with different ratios of the flour-blends. First, mature female and male rats in the ratio of 2:1 were mated to produce pups used in the analyses. The pups were randomly distributed into five groups of five rats and were fed with the experimental (Rice-Beniseed) blends. Group 1 was fed with a standard weaning meal, groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 were fed ad lib with Rice-Beniseed blends (after proximate analysis for nutritive content) in the ratio of 30:70, 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30 respectively. All treatments lasted for 21 days, after which their blood was collected for haematological and biochemical analyses. The results showed carbohydrate (71.76 %) and moisture content (14.75 %) of rice to be higher than beniseed with values of 18.74 and 8.24 % respectively. The crude proteins (23.19 %), crude fibre (11.47 %) and fats (36.40%) content in beniseed was more than doubled compared to that in rice with 9.38 %, 1.339 % and 2.41 % for crude protein, crude fibre, and fats contents respectively. Percentage weight change in pups was highest (26.31 ± 1.03%) and least (8.69 ± 2,32%) in the 50:50 and 60:40 rice-beniseed groups on day 7. Percentage weight change of pups on day 14 showed that groups fed with 70:30 and 50:50 ratios with the highest (37.24 ± 0.47%) and least (6.16 ± 1.14%) weight gain respectively. Hence, 70:30 (Rice-Beniseed blend) meal produced the best growth index (weight increase) and was potentially viable for the formulation of infant weaning formula amidst appreciable performance of all other ratios.

Abstract:

This study investigated the possibility of producing yoghurt from the highly nutritious extract of the seeds of Sesamum indicum (Beniseed), with the aid of day old standard yoghurt as starter culture. Samples of Beniseed were obtained from Jos Main Market, Nigeria. The seeds were processed to obtain a milky extract, which was subjected to pasteurization at 620C from 5 to 25 mins. The proximate analysis of the raw Beniseed extract and raw cow milk were determined. A range of starter culture obtained from day old yoghurt from 2 %, 4 %, 6 %, 8 % and 10 % were inoculated into the raw Beniseed and Beniseed extract supplemented with 2 % lactose. The pH and total acidity of the fermenting media were determined at 6 hrs intervals for 48 hrs. The result of the proximate analysis revealed that the raw Beniseed extract contains 29.56 ± 7.91% of proteins while, the raw cow milk was 3.37 ± 1.01 %. The pH of the fermenting beniseed extract decreases with fermentation time while, the total titratable acidity increases with fermentation time. The inoculum sizes of the starter culture range also had direct influence on the decrease of pH and the increasing values of the acidity. The lowest value observed for the pH was 4.06 at 10 % starter culture fermentation after 48 hrs. The highest value of the total titratable acidity was 1.99mg/L which was observed with 10 % starter culture after 48 hrs fermentation. The result of the survey done via the panel of respondents which investigated the acceptance of the core organoleptic qualities of the end-products showed 35% of the respondents has high preference for the quality and the taste of the Beniseed extract which has been supplemented with 2 % lactose over the other products.

Abstract:

This study analyzed the effects of supplementing fish meal with Sesame indicum on functional properties, phytotoxins and hematological compositions of Clarias gariepinus. A total of 150 of C. gariepinus fingerlings were grouped into 6 tanks with 20 C. gariepinus per tank. Each tank of fish was served with prepared fish meals supplemented with various levels of beniseed (S. indicum), namely, DT1 (commercial diet), stands as the control group, DT2 (0% beniseed with 100% soya bean meal, DT3 (25% beniseed with 75% soya bean meal, DT4 (50% beniseed with 50% soya bean, DT5 (75% beniseed with 25% soya bean and DT6 (100% beniseed with 0% soya bean, individually. The functional properties of each diet and hematological indices of the treated fish were determined. All prepared diets have improved the functional properties and their phytotoxins level remains within the permissible limit as compared to control diets (DT1). The formulated diets have potentially influenced the hematological indices analyzed compared to the control diet (DT1). At any level of S. indicum inclusion in the fish meal of C. gariepinus there was a potential improvement of the functional properties, hematological parameters and maintaining the levels of phytotoxins not to rise above the permissible limit. Thus, experimental diets (DT5 and DT6) with 75 and 100% S. indicum would be promising candidates which may be used for the development of the product in various food industries. Keywords: Clarias gariepinus, fish meal, hematological indices, Sesame. indicum

Abstract:

Water imbalance limits growth and antioxidant production in plants. This study assessed varying concentrations (1, 2, 3 and 4 g/L) of glycine betanine (GB) on growth, nutritional contents, and antioxidant production in beniseed under drought conditions. Plant height (49.40 cm), number of leaves (27), leaf area (231.93 cm2 ), specific leaf area (57.98 m2kg-1 ), and leaf area index (0.62 m2m-2 ) were higher in beniseed treated with 4g/L GB compared with lower concentrations of the osmolyte. However, the well-watered treatment improved significantly the relative growth rate (0.06 mgg-1day-1 ) and net assimilation rate (0.02 gm-2day-1 ). Chlorophyll-a (3.38 mg/g), chlorophyll-b (3.81mg/g) and total chlorophyll (7.20 mg/g) showed a significant increase in the plant under 3g/LGB. Moisture (91.07%), fat (2.74%), ash (3.55%), crude fiber (3.51%), and crude protein (4.47%) were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the treatments grown under 4g/LGB. The observation was consistent in sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium as well as vitamin A, vitamin B5 and vitamin C. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) (1.58 u/gt), APX (1.18 u/g), CAT (1.58 mg-1 ), GR (1.59 u/g), GST (14.07 mg-1 ) and SP (19.06 u/ml) were higher in the roots of beniseed grown under drought. Conclusively, beniseed grown under,3 and 4g/L GB improved growth attributes and nutritional contents while high antioxidant production was observed in the roots of beniseed droughted compared with other parts.

Abstract:

Many plants have oil bearing seeds or fruits. Utilisation of oils from plants for food and non-food purposes is strongly related to their properties. This study investigates the physicochemical and fatty acid profiles of some fatty oils obtained from Nigerian underutilized oilseeds: beniseed, Moringa oleifera, kenaf (cuba variety), neem seed and their potential applications in food and non-food (cosmetics, industrial lubricants, resins and biofuel production). The oilseeds were extracted with n-hexane by cold maceration and soxhlet extractor was used to recover residual oil. The physicochemical parameters were determined according to standard methods. The fatty acid composition was determined using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). From the results obtained, the percentage oil content was found to be 30.01, 35.34, 14.78, 30.7; acid value 2.8mgKOH/g, 1.4mgKOH/g, 3.8mgKOH/g and 1.6 mgKOH/g for beniseed, moringa, kenaf, and neem oils respectively. The predominant acid expressed as fatty acid methyl ester is oleic for moringa (82.9%), kenaf (46.8%) and neem (36. 5%) oil samples while beniseed oil is predominantly linoleic (41.97%). The iodine value which relates to degree of unsaturation is above100 for beniseed, kenaf and neem oils. This suggests that beniseed, kenaf, and neem oils have potential as substitute for soya bean in alkyd resin production. Moringa oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) with iodine value of 76.7g I/100g). The high saponification values of the samples (188-192) suggest their potential in cosmetics and soap production. The obtained results show that these oilseeds have very great industrial potentials in food and non-food utilization.

Each tank of fish was served with prepared fish meals supplemented with various levels of beniseed (S. indicum), namely, DT1 (commercial diet), stand as the control group, DT2 (0% beniseed with 100% soya bean meal, DT3 (25% beniseed with 75% soya bean meal, DT4 (50% beniseed with 50% soya bean, DT5 (75% beniseed with 25% soya bean and DT6 (100% beniseed with 0% soya bean, individually. Chemical compositions of each experimental diet and fish carcass were determined and the feed utilization by fishes was equally monitored and calculated. Higher levels of moisture content (7.42%), crude fiber (4.24%), total ash (3.16%), crude protein and fat (29.21 and 30.01%) and carbohydrate (27.21%) were established for the dietary group (DT6) as compared to other dietary groups. In contrast, the fish carcass moisture, crude fiber, and total ash contents were high in fish fed DT4 and DT2 compared to others. Elevated calcium (760.7 and 763.6 mg/100g), phosphorus (683.4 and 685.1 mg/100g), sodium (302.4 and 303.4 mg/100g), potassium (820.6 and 825 mg/100g) and iron (32.67 and 37.31 mg/100g) contents were noted in DT5 and DT6 than the other diets. The fish carcass fed DT6 were richer in calcium (803 mg/100g), phosphorus (5023 mg/100g), sodium (492 mg/100g), potassium (6313 mg/100g) and iron (5.12 mg/100g) than the others. C. gariepinus fed DT6 recorded high weight gains (45.64 mg) while fish DT4 had a value of length gain (1.80 cm). Higher significant values were observed for SGR (54.33%), PER (2.47%), FI (2.85%) and SR (80.23%) as feed utilization in fish fed DT6. However, experimental diets (DT5 and DT6) with 75 and 100% S. indicum inclusion look promising and would enhance adequate growth performance and nutrient utilization of C. gariepinus, which may be used for the development of the product in various food industries. Keywords: C. gariepinus, fish meal, feed efficiency, growth performance, S. indicum.

Abstract:

A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary replacement of maize with beniseed waste meal (BSW) on the carcass characteristics, organs weights, hematological and serum biochemical indices of broiler chicken. A total of 180 days old Marshal broiler chicks were randomly allotted to six treatments, each having three replicates of ten birds per replicate. Six experimental diets were formulated as follows; D1 (100% Maize: 0% BSW), D2 (80% Maize: 20% BSW), D3 (60% Maize: 40% BSW), D4 (40% Maize: 60% BSW), D5 (20% Maize: 80% BSW) and D6 (0% Maize: 100% BSW) for both broiler starters and finishers. The live weight, eviscerated weight, dressed weight, neck, thigh, wings and lower back weights were significantly (P < 0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. The highest percentage dressed weight (63.52) obtained in D3 (40% BSW) was significantly (P < 0.05) different from 60.87 (0% BSW), 61.68 (20% BSW) 60.00 (60% BSW), 55.18 (80% BSW) and 56.52 (100% BSW). The organs (lungs, liver, kidney, intestine, gizzard and proventriculus) monitored were significantly (P < 0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. Heart, pancreas and spleen were similar among the treatments. The serum biochemistry and haematological parameters measured were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. It was concluded that maize could be safely replaced with beniseed waste meal up to 100% level (55% BSW) in broilers diets. Key words: beniseed waste meal, maize, broilers, barcass, health status

Abstract:

Sixty (60) grower-finisher pigs (Landrace x Large white) were used to investigate the nutritional value of beniseed hull (BSH) as substitute for maize on performance, carcass, and organs characteristics of the experimental animals. Five experimental diets were formulated by incorporating BSH into basal diet to replace maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%; designated as T1 (control), T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. The experimental pigs were individually weighed and assigned to five dietary treatments of three replicates of four animals each in a completely randomized design. The animals were fed for 2 weeks pre-experimental period and thereafter for ten weeks during which data were collected. Feed cost per kg live weight gain (? 668.67) of the animals fed 0% BSH significantly (P<0.05) reduced to ? 620.06 (25% BSH), ? 527.24 (50% BSH), ? 509.74 (75% BSH) and ? 456.73 (100% BSH). The bled weight, scald weight, eviscerated weight, dressing percentage, bacon, fore hock, hind hock and tail were significantly (P<0.05) affected by dietary treatments. The biggest liver weight (2.27g/kg) obtained in the animals fed the control diet (0% BSH) reduced significantly (P<0.05) to 2.20 (25% BSH), 1.91 (50% BSH), 1.76 (75% BSH) and 2.00 (100% BSH). Variations obtained in the kidney weight (0.40 g/kg) of the experimental animals fed with 25% BSH-based diets were similar (P>0.05) to 0.38 g/kg in the control (0% BSH) with both significantly (P<0.05) reduced to 0.36 (50% BSH), 0.36 (75% BSH) and 0.32 (100% BSH), respectively. Beniseed hull (BSH) poses no health challenge to the pigs used in this study. There were reductions in the cost/kg and cost of feed per kilogram live-weight gain with increasing levels of BSH in the diets, the lowest being at 100% level of substitution; beniseed hull could economically and safely replace maize in pig's diets up to 100% level.

Abstract:

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the nutrient content of beniseed hull (BSH) as a substitute for maize, and its effect on haematological and serum biochemical indices of growing pigs. Sixty 8-weeks old growing pigs (Landrace x Large white) were randomly allotted into five dietary treatments with three replicates of four animals per replicate in a completely randomized design. Five diets were formulated by incorporating BSH into the basal diet to replace maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% designated as D1 (control), D2, D3, D4 and D5, respectively and fed to growing pigs for ten weeks. Diets had no significant effect on the parameters measured, except White blood cell (WBC) and Lymphocytes. The highest WBC count (x109/L) (P < 0.05) of 23.70 was obtained in pigs fed 50% BSH-based diets compared with 15.55 (0% BSH), 14.00 (25% BSH), 21.45 (75% BSH) and 15.10 (100% BSH), respectively. The lymphocyte counts of pigs fed 25% BSH (60.00%) and 75% BSH (76.50%) were statistically similar to those on other dietary treatments. The cholesterol values recorded in pigs fed with the control diet (0% BSH) (125.00 mg/dL) and 25% BSH (122.50 mg/dL) were similar but significantly (P < 0.05) reduced to 119.50 mg/dL (50% BSH), 118.00 mg/dL(75% BSH) and 104.00 mg/dL (100% BSH), respectively, as the level of BSH increases. The High-density lipoprotein, HDL value (20.95 mg/dL) of pigs fed with control diet (0% BSH) was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than HDL values of pigs placed on other diets. The total protein (g/dL) 7.08 (0% BSH), 7.11 (25% BSH), 7.00 (50% BSH) were similar (P > 0.05) but significantly (P < 0.05) higher than 6.81 (75% BSH) and 6.66 (100% BSH). Beniseed hull poses no health challenge to the growing pigs as depicted by normal haematological and serum biochemical indices including lowest cholesterol at 100% BSH; beniseed hull could safely replace maize in pig’s diets up to 100% level.

Abstract:

Some mechanical properties of two beniseed accessions (Yandev-55 and E8) of relevance to oil expression were determined at moisture content levels of 4.1,5.3 and 7.7 per cent (wet basis). The properties were the force required, the deformation sustained and the energy needed to rupture and express oil from the seed. A2 x 5 factorial experiment in completely randomized design with a total of 120 observations was used for each of the parameters. The applied force, sustained deformation and energy required to rupture and express oil from the seed ranged from 7.73 to 29.40N, 0.17 to 0.54mm and 0.4 to l.lMJ for whole and dehulled seeds, respectively, at 4.1%moisture content. These values increased with the increase in moisture content. The mean values of all the parameters were higher when the seed. was dehulled than when left undehulled. The result of the statistical analysis shows that seed accession, preconditioning method and moisture content have significant effect on the studied parameters.

Abstract:

Goemai is an Afroasiatic (Chadic, West Chadic A, Angas-Goemai group) language spoken in Central Nigeria. The name Goemai [ɡmi] is used by the speakers themselves to refer to both their language and their ethnic group. To outsiders, they are better known under the name Ankwe – a name that is also commonly found in the older linguistic, anthropological and historical literature. The Goemai live as farmers, fishermen and hunters in villages throughout the lowland savannah region south of the Jos Plateau and north of the Benue River, an area that is known geographically as the Great Muri Plains. The economy is based on agriculture (yam, millet, guineacorn, groundnut, beniseed) and is supplemented with fishing and hunting. Politically, the area belongs to Plateau State, and more specifically to the Local Government Areas Shendam and Qua’an Pan. Smaller Goemai-speaking communities are found in surrounding Local Government Areas as well as in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.

Abstract:

A total of 180 twenty weeks old black Nera laying hens was used to evaluate the effects of replacement of maize, an expensive conventional energy ingredient with Maxigrain® enzyme supplemented beniseed hull (BSH) on performance and haematological parameters of laying hens. The study was carried out at the Poultry Unit of the Teaching and Research Farm, Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State, Nigeria. There were five (5) treatments of 36 birds per treatment. Each treatment was replicated three times comprising 12 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment. Five (5) experimental diets were compounded with percentage replacement of maize at 0 (control), 25, 50, 75 and 100% BSH; designated as D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5, respectively. The was weight for weight. Diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 (D2 – D5) were supplemented with Maxigrain® enzyme at 0.1% of the test ingredient in the experimental diets. The ME (13.20 MJ/kg), CP (11.82%), CF (22.15%), and EE (24.40%) of the BSH compares with ME (14.37MJ/kg), CP (10%), CF (2.00%) and EE (4.00%)of maize to serve as its substitute. The egg/day (HDP), egg weight, egg mass and FCR were significantly (P < 0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. The HDP (%) were 75.14(D1), 73.57 (D2), 62.86 (D3), 48.57 (D4) and 31.14 (D5). The egg mass (g) were 42.50 (D1), 43.65 (D2), 40.88 (D3), 35.24 (D4),and 23.22 (D5). The egg weight (g) were 56.67 for the birds fed D1 significantly (P< 0.05) increased to 58.98 (D2), 64.89 (D3), 71.91 (D4) and 74.89 (D5). The FCR in the same order were 2.49 (D1), 2.44 (D2), 2.64 (D3), 3.08 (D4) and 4.73 (D5). Other performance parameters including the average initial live weight, average final live weight, average body weight gain and average daily feed intake were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected across the dietary treatments. All investigated haematological variables (ESR, PCV, RBC, Hbc, Lympocytes, Neutrophils, Monocytes, Basophils, Eosinophils, MCV, MCH and MCHC) were similar (P>0.05) across the dietary treatments. It was concluded that maize could economically be replaced with 50% Maxigrain® enzyme supplemented BSH in layers diets; and therefore recommended in the diets.    Un total de 180 poules pondeuses noires Nera âgées de vingt semaines a été utilisé pour évaluer les effets du remplacement du maïs, un ingrédient énergétique conventionnel coûteux par l'enzyme Maxigrain® supplémenté en enveloppe de graines de graines (BSH) sur les performances et les paramètres hématologiques des poules pondeuses. L'étude a été réalisée à l'unité de volaille de la ferme d'enseignement et de recherche, Université Joseph Ayo Babalola, Ikeji-Arakeji, État d'Osun, Nigéria. Il y avait cinq (5) traitements de 36 oiseaux par traitement. Chaque traitement a été répété trois fois comprenant 12 oiseaux par répétition dans une expérience de conception entièrement randomisée (CER). Cinq (5) régimes expérimentaux ont été composés avec un pourcentage de remplacement du maïs à 0 (témoin), 25, 50, 75 et 100 % BSH ; désignés respectivement par D1, D2, D3, D4 et D5. La substitution était poids pour poids. Les régimes 2, 3, 4 et 5 (J2 – J5) ont été supplémentés avec l'enzyme Maxigrain® à 0,1 % de l'ingrédient à tester dans les régimes expérimentaux. Le ME (13,20 MJ/kg), le CP (11,82 %), le CF (22,15 %) et l'EE (24,40 %) du BSH se comparent au ME (14,37 MJ/kg), au CP (10 %), au CF (2,00 %) et EE (4,00 %) de maïs pour lui servir de substitut. L'œuf/jour (HDP), le poids de l'œuf, la masse de l'œuf et le FCR ont été significativement (P< 0,05) affectés par les traitements diététiques. Les HDP (%) étaient de 75,14 (D1), 73,57 (D2), 62,86 (D3), 48,57 (D4) et 31,14 (D5). La masse d'œufs (g) était de 42,50 (D1), 43,65 (D2), 40,88 (D3), 35,24 (D4) et 23,22 (D5). Le poids des œufs (g) était de 56,67 pour les oiseaux nourris D1 significativement (P < 0,05) augmenté à 58,98 (D2), 64,89 (D3), 71,91 (D4) et 74,89 (D5). Les FCR dans le même ordre étaient de 2,49 (D1), 2,44 (D2), 2,64 (D3), 3,08 (D4) et 4,73 (D5). D'autres paramètres de performance, notamment le poids vif initial moyen, le poids vif final moyen, le gain de poids corporel moyen et l'apport alimentaire quotidien moyen, n'ont pas été significativement (P > 0,05) affectés par les traitements diététiques. Toutes les variables hématologiques étudiées (ESR, PCV, RBC, Hbc, lymphocytes, neutrophiles, monocytes, basophiles, éosinophiles, MCV, MCH et MCHC) étaient similaires (P> 0,05) pour tous les traitements diététiques. Il a été conclu que le maïs pouvait être remplacé de manière économique par 50 % de BSH additionné d'enzymes Maxigrain® dans les régimes alimentaires des poules pondeuses ; et donc recommandé dans les régimes alimentaires.

Abstract:

In Nigeria, leafy vegetables form essential part of dietary foods especially in the South-eastern part. This is because of enormous supplements derived from them that affect human health positively. These benefits derived were however reduced drastically by incidence of soil-transmitted helminthes associated ailments in humans who consumed these vegetables on daily basis. This present study was carried out to determine the prevalence of soil transmitted helminthes in vegetables sold in Bali markets. Parasitological investigation of vegetables for parasitic stages of soil transmitted helminthes was conducted using centrifugation and microscopical methods. Out of nine vegetable samples examined 55.55% were positive for helminthes eggs contamination, 4.55% in bitter leaf and hibiscus leaves, 22.73% in moringa leaves, 54.55% in okra leaves and 13.64% in clove basil. Two larvae were found in bitter leaf and three larvae were also found in pumpkin or marrow leaves. Most of the helminthes detected in the vegetables were Ascaris lumbricoides and Ancylostoma duodenale while Necator americanus were low in prevalence. No parasites were detected in samples collected from leaves of spiny amaranth and black Beniseed. The results showed that highest prevalence rate was found in okra leaves while the lowest was bitter leaf and hibiscus leaves. The distribution of these helminthes in these leafy vegetables were responsible for the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminthes associated ailments in Bali. Finally, vegetables should be properly washed with salt to deter predisposing factor for infection of soil-transmitted helminthes.

Abstract:

Purpose - The paper is based on a study conducted to investigate the phenomenon of knowledge production and generation in agricultural sector, with particular focus on the Nigerian agricultural research institutes.Methodology - Qualitative and quantitative approaches known as mixed methods were used through survey design to collect data from the population of research scientists and directors of the institutes.Findings - The findings show that the knowledge produced by the institutes include: genetic improvement of varieties of cereals, crops, roots, tubers and barley; wheat, rice, soybeans, sugarcane, beniseed, millet; crop production, breeding, weed control, value-addition techniques, fertility of soil and mechanisation; crop improvement and management practices; generation of agricultural technologies and management practices;Â pest management, agronomic practices and improved seeds; fish production and management practices. The study found that generations of explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge was high in the institutes: explicit knowledge generation was enhanced by the constant documentation of research findings and research reports, seminars, workshops and conference papers; while tacit knowledge generation was facilitated by knowledge sharing through formal and informal engagements such as review meetings, cropping scheme meetings and regular staff meetings.Research implications â€“ Stimulate Nigeria to become self-sufficient in feeding its own people by investing in the agricultural knowledge production to drive research and innovation in the sector since knowledge production is a critical tool in innovation, research and development.Â Social implications â€“ The study provides a deeper understanding of various phenomena pertaining to the knowledge production and generation in the agricultural sector which could serve as a basis for re-evaluation, re-strategising and re-focusing knowledge management practices in the research institutes.Â Originality/value - The originality of the study lies in its ability to investigate how concepts and variables from the Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) and another three theories/models played out in the context of Nigerian agricultural research institutes. The study contributes to policy, theory, practice and society.

Abstract:

Regional economic activities and developments are measured through various techniques where Location Quotient (LQ) is one of the most reliable techniques. This paper classifies the settlements by economic potentials in the southern region of Niger state using the LQ. A structured questionnaire was administered to 1.040 in the 37 rural communities selected from 37 districts in 8 LGAs in the Niger South Federal constituency in Niger State. The data collected was analysed using LQ. Findings of the study in terms of economic potentials of the region, reveals that communities are mainly engaged in basic economic activities; including the cultivation of food crops (rice, maize, beans, millet and yam); cultivation of cash crops (benisead, ground nut, vegetable, cassava and melon), plantation agriculture (palm, kola nut, cashew and sugar cane). Findings in terms of basic economy revealed that Egbako has the highest LQ with an average score of 0.06, and is closely followed by Takuma, Batako, Kusoyaba, Mukugi and Kalmo, with an average LQ score of 0.04 each, while in terms of non-basic economy, the findings indicates that both Egbako and Kuchita have the highest non-basic LQ with an average score of 0.07, which were closely followed by Katcha, Mukugi and Gayankpa settlements with non-basic economic LQ and average scores of 0.04 each. The study concludes that LQ is one of the best techniques in measuring economic potentials of regions. It also recommends LQ for regional economic assessments.

Abstract:

Drilling operations cost millions of Dollars and its success depend largely on some key parameters. Some of these parameters include wait on bit (WOB), rate of penetration (ROP), revolution per minute (RPM) and specific energy, also known as specific mechanic energy. In the design of the drilling program, keen interest must be paid to their variation, else, drilling problems which will lead to non-productive time will ensue. Therefore, this study focused on the optimization of bit design through selection of the bit with lowest specific energy possible to reduce drilling cost and improve efficiency via the consideration of critical parameters such as WOB, ROP drilling cost per foot and specific energy (Mechanical specific energy). In this study, data were collected from 5 wells – ASSA North 004, ASSA North 005, ASSA North 006, Gbetiokun 7 and Benisede, all in Niger Delta. Specific energy was computed using mechanic energy and specific energy relations while the cost optimization was done using drilling cost relation. These data were carefully analyzed and the results of specific energy for the five wells selected wells were obtained. The values of the specific energy at desired depths were used to track the performance of drill bits at that depth. The bit used for ASSA North 005 was found to be most suitable as it maintained lowest specific energy for different depths. The study therefore gave an insight into the importance of specific energy of the drill bit while carry out bit selection for an efficient and cost-effective drilling operation. The bit used for the drilling of ASSA North well was selected because it has the minimum specific energy.

Abstract:

Fermentation and extrusion have been proven to increase the nutritional value of foods by reducing the water-binding capacity of cereal flour. Thus, the effect of fermentation and extrusion on the microbiological qualities, proximate compositions and organoleptic properties of orange flesh potato and beniseed blends were investigated using standard methods. The blended samples were prepared in four combinations (A=100 g sweet potato; B = 70 g sweet potato + 30 g beniseed; C= 60 g sweet potato + 40 g beniseed, D = 50 g sweet potato + 50 g Beniseed) and separated into four batches (i.e. first batch = preconditioned and fermented; second batch = extruded; third batch = fermented and extruded; and fourth batch = unfermented/unextruded). The blended samples were fermented for 72 hours using solid state fermentation. The bacteria isolated include Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis and Staphylococcus aureus while fungi include Mucor mucedo, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenium, Aspergillus flavus, Geotrichum spp, Mucor mucedo and Alternaria alternate. The results of the proximate composition of the fermented and extruded blends showed a significant difference as compared with the unfermented and unextruded blends. The moisture content was highest in fermented extruded 50% sweet potato + 50% beniseed (18.61%) and least in the unfermented unextruded 50% sweet potato + 50% beniseed (4.0%). Fermentation also helps to increase the protein content and the highest was observed in composite bleed containing 50% sweet potato + 50% beniseed which increased from 2.88% to 8.75%. Extrusion also increased the protein content. The highest protein content was observed in the composite blend that was extruded and fermented (18.61). The carbohydrate content was highest in the unfermented unextruded 50% sweet potato + 50 beniseed (84.04%). The crude fat content was highest in the fermented unextruded 100% sweet potato blends (21.50%) and least in fermented extruded 50% sweet potato + 50 beniseed (2.0%). The sensory evaluation of the samples showed a good preference for the fermented-extruded samples. Findings from this research have established that orange flesh potato and beniseed blends can be fermented and extruded to produce food of enhanced nutritional value.

Abstract:

The testicles play a crucial role in male reproductive health by producing sperm and synthesizing androgens, primarily testosterone. This study investigates the potential of Sesamum indicum (Beniseed) oil as a therapeutic agent against testicular toxicity induced by chronic psychological stress and sleep deprivation in male Wistar rats. Twenty-five rats were divided into five groups and subjected to various stress and sleep deprivation protocols over 14 days, with groups receiving different doses of Beniseed oil. Reproductive hormone levels, sperm parameters, and testicular histology were evaluated. Results indicated that both short-term and long-term stress and sleep deprivation negatively affected follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone levels, with Beniseed oil showing limited protective effects. Notably, low doses of Beniseed oil improved sperm count in some groups, while high doses exacerbated hormonal declines and did not mitigate histological damage. Histological analysis revealed disrupted seminiferous tubules and cellular debris across treatment groups, indicating persistent testicular damage despite Beniseed oil administration. This study highlights the limited efficacy of Beniseed oil in reversing testicular damage caused by stress and sleep deprivation, suggesting that while it may offer some protective effects at low doses, higher doses could be counterproductive.

Abstract:

This study evaluated the properties of bio-coal briquettes made by blending coal with beniseed (sesame seed) stalks in order to determine the optimum composition. The briquettes were produced using a hydraulic compression machine at 5, 10 and 15 bar applied to coal:biomass compositions of 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100% by weight of mixture and particle sizes of 212, 300 and 600 µm. The physical, ultimate and proximate properties of the briquettes were then measured and analyzed. The results indicated that the optimum composition for producing the briquettes lies between 60:40% and 40:60%. These ranges of composition of briquettes had the lowest ignition time of 57.6s, highest percentage volatile matter of 42.7% and low percentage sulphur content of 0.38%. Furthermore, the 40:60% briquettes had the highest mean calorific value of 26.67 MJ/kg. These indicate good potentials for briquettes using coal and beniseed stalks as an alternative energy source while contributing to a friendly environment and wealth generation.
