Abstract:

Bovine Schistosomiasis is a chronic debilitating parasitic disease of cattle caused by the species Schistosoma bovis. The present work was designed to investigate the prevalence of Schistosoma species in cattle in Nigerian Army Livestock Farms and Ranches at Airport road Giri, Gwagwalada Area Council, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. Faecal samples (n=200) from cattle were collected per rectum, using sterile surgical gloves into sample bottles containing formalin and labeled with the cattles’ tag number.

Abstract. Leptin is mainly secreted by white adipose tissue in animals. Leptin acts by stimulating or inhibiting the release of a neurotransmitter, which eventually results in a decrease in food/feed intake and an increase in energy expenditure. In this investigation, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was used to reveal nucleotide sequence variations in bovine leptin gene (LEP) in 338 cattle of a variety of breeds farmed in New Zealand (NZ) and Nigeria. These included NZ Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, and crossbred Holstein-Fr

Abstract:

Foot and mouth disease is considered one of the major hindrances to the growth of animal husbandry in Nigeria, with a projected annual loss of about 7 billion naira. We sought to establish the hematological and biochemical features in Nigerian indigenous cattle naturally infected with FMDV by comparing the hematological and biochemical features with breed, sex, and age. Forty cattle showing clinical manifestations and confirmed positive for FMD with the FMD rapid diagnostic kit were sampled for this study. Standard hematological and serum biochemical techniques were adopted for the analysis. D

Abstract:

An abattoir survey of the macroscopic examination of the udder of cattle was carried out on, 2,392 heads of cattle originating from different states in Nigeria. 38.75% of these were female animals. The overall incidence of bovine mastitis was 12.30%. Majority of the confirmed cases were aged cows, (70.18%). The view was expressed that the White Fulani breed offers tremendous potential for the dairy industry in Nigeria.

Abstract:

The procedure found suitable for cannulating the rumen of some indigenous breeds of cattle in Nigeria for nutritional analysis and bioassays has been described. The viability of the technique relative to others suggested for exotic ruminants, is reviewed. The anatomical location for a successful implantation in order to reduce complications to the barest minimum has been suggested. The maintenance of the implanted cannula for the purpose of keeping the modified experimental model in perfect health is discussed.

The study provides the first comprehensive information on the variability of milk protein genes of Bos indicus and Bos taurus cattle breeds in Cameroon and Nigeria. The investigations indicate a high diversity of milk protein genes for the zebu populations. Of the investigated alleles, 21 out of 29 were observed. The method of single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was a particularly useful technique because it allowed discrimination of alleles, including zebu-specific alleles at the CSN2 (I) and CSN3 (AI and H) loci, not separated by protein electrophoretic techniques and also made po
