Periparturient antioxidant enzymes, haematological profile and milk production of dairy cows supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaf meal

Prospects for the utilization of Senna obtusifolia products as protein supplements for poultry.

Twenty Yankasa rams, about 1.5 years and weighing between 20 and 25kg were randomly alloted to four treatment group of 5 animals each. The groups were used to study the effect of feeding concentrate and groundnut haulms in the ratio of 0:1 (A); 1:1 (B); 1:3 (C); 3:1 (D) on feedlot performance. All animals were fed at 4% of body weight in individual pens through the 86 day experimental period. Total dry matter intake was significantly (P<0.05) highest for Group D and lowest for Group A. It costs least to feed Group A animals but cost of feed per weight gain was least for Group D. Liveweight gain was highest for Group D, which utilized feed most efficiently. Key words: Fattening, Yankasa, Sheep, Concentrate, Legume, hay.

A note on concentrate: legume hay ratio in fattening yankasa sheep.

The African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is the most cultivated species with desirable characteristics. The hematological parameters change in C. gariepinus fed varying inclusion of Cassia tora (leaf and seeds) meals. The aim of this study was to determine the impact on growth and nutrient utilization on health and hematological effects of Cassia tora (L) on Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1882). C. tora leaves and seeds were washed, shed dried, and ground with mortar and pestle into powder. The ingredients were ground into powder, weighed, and mixed thoroughly with the addition of warm water to make a dough and pellet using form pellet. Clarias gariepinus juveniles were acclimatized to experimental conditions for 7 days prior to the feeding trials. A group of catfish with an average body weight of 4.3 g and standard length of 6.41 cm were stocked in 15 aquariums comprising 20L capacity circular tanks. The results showed that there is a significant difference in RBC, with the seed meal having the highest values. There were no significant differences in WBC. The PCV was within the minimum required standard; there was significance in MCH, MCV, HB, and MCHC. The highest values of HB and MCHC were obtained in Clarias gariepinus fed leaf and seed meals. However, there was mild stress placed on the health of the catfish even when fed at high percentage levels of inclusion (100%). Therefore, the inclusion level of (25%) of C. tora (leaf and seed meals) wasrecommended in the feed formulation using C. tora. 

Impact on Growth and Nutrient Utilization on Health and Hematological Effects of Cassia tora (L) on Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1882)

A 90-day experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of twenty growing Yankasa sheep. Five diets, fed to 5 groups of 4 animals, in a completely randomised design, were formulated with Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) partially or completely replacing sundried (SSO) or ensiled Senna obtusifolia (ESO) leaf meal. The two ingredients collectively constituted 50% of the diets: 1(50% MOLM), 2(25% SSO25%MOLM), 3(50% SSO), 4(25% ESO/ 25%MOLM) and 5(50% ESO). Results showed voluntary dry matter intake (DMI), crude protein intake (CPI) and crude fibre intake (CFI) of animals were not significantly different among the treatments. However, daily weight gain of animals was significantly (P<0.05) higher for animals fed diet 1 (99.35g/day) than other diets. The Haemoglobin (Hb), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), White Blood Cells (WBC), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Red Blood Cells (RBC) differed significantly (P<0.01) across the treatments. Also, Potassium (K+) and Chlorine (Cl-) were different (P<0.01) among treatments. Crude protein (CPD) and crude fibre (CFD) digestibility were significantly (P<0.01) higher for animals fed solely MOLM in diets (65.12 vs 51.51%) and lower for those on SSO/MOLM and SSO diets. It was concluded that sundried or ensiled Senna obtusifolia leaf meal could partially or completely replace Moringa oleifera leaf meal in diets with good performance in terms of nutrient intake, digestibility and weight gains.

An experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of feeding ensiled maize cobs with Sennaobtusifolia (MC:SO) on biochemical and haematological parameters of sixteen growing Yankasas rams for 90 daysThe MC:SO were ensiled in different ratios of 0:0 (control),  1:3, 1:1 and 3:1 for diets 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively and included to provide 50% of the diets The results of haematological study showed that there were no significant (P>005) differences in haemoglobin concentration (1550 – 2300%), lymphocytes (4100 – 6100%), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (33600 – 40500g/L), mean corpuscular volume (3095 – 3335fl) and red blood cells (502 – 748 x10 12 /L) Alkaline phosphatase was significantly (P<005) different among the treatments and animals on diet 2 had the highest (14840 µ/L) value The results of this study suggested that ensiled maize cobs with Sennaobtusifolia can be fed to growing Yankasa sheep without deliterious effects on haemato-biochemical indices and  Similarly, MC:SO 1:3 diet recorded the best in all the parameters measured  and could be recommended for growing Yankasa sheep

HAEMATO – BIOCHEMICAL INDICES OF YANKASA RAMS FED MAIZE COB ENSILED WITH Senna obtusifolia

The study was carried out at University Research Farm of the Department of Animal Science, Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil, to evaluate the growth performance and hematological parameters of Loman Brown hen as influenced by inclusion levels of Balsomina mamodica substituting lasota vaccine in semi-arid zone of Nigeria. The birds were randomly allotted into four treatment in a completely randomized design with fifty (50) birds per treatment. Treatment 1 was given lasota vaccine (NCDV) at first, third, seven and seventeen weeks respectively. Treatment 2 was given Garafuni 0.5g per litre for six days in the week whereas Treatment 3, 1.0g per litre and Treatment 4, 1.5g per litre of Garafuni for four and two days in the week respectively. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected from five (5) birds from each treatment for hematological studies. The result shows that, intake and performance of Lohman Brown Hen administered Balsomina mamordica substituting Lasota vaccine at laying phase is shown in Table 1. The result indicated that no significant (P>0.05) difference was shown with respect to initial body weight (IBWT), final body weight (FBWT), weight gain (WT), average weight gain (AWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and metabolic mass.T4 recorded the highest mean value (600.0) whereas animals in T2 (0.5g garahuni) had the least mean value (525.00). Data on haematological parameters of Loman brown hen are presented on Table 2. The result showed non- significant differences among the treatments means. Haemogloblins, packed cell. Highest mean

PERFORMANCE AND HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF LOMAN BROWN HEN AS INFLUENCED BY Balsomina mamodica SUBSTITUTING LASOTA VACCINE IN SEMI-ARID ZONE OF NIGERIA

The experiment was conducted to examine the physical properties, pH, temperature, proximate composition, fibre fraction, energy content and mineral composition of ensiled rice milling waste (RMW) treated with urea and poultry litter in a completely randomized design. RMW was treated with of Urea and Poultry Litter (PL) and ensiled in in-vitro laboratory silos (946ml). The treatment combinations were; A (100%RMW), B (100%RMW+ Urea), C (80%RMW + 20%PL), and D (60%RMW + 40%PL). The treatments were ensiled for 21 days in triplicates. At the expiration of each ensiling period, samples were taken for analyses. The results for physical properties showed that most of the silages were adequately fermented with sweet aroma. The compounded silages were acidic 4.34 – 4.86 except treatments B and D which had pH of 7.96 and 7.91 respectively. The temperatures of the silages were significantly (P<0.05) different. Based on the physical properties, pH and temperature evaluated, most of the silages can be considered to be well prepared. The proximate composition of silages differ significantly (P<0.05), higher percentages in CF and Ash were recorded in Treatment A. Dry matter content was also significantly different (P<0.05) with treatment A having the highest DM (97.19%). The CP in treatment D (6.13%) proved superior. RMW and Urea mixtures resulted in silages with highest %NDF, %HEM and Energy. Lowest NDF, ADF, CEL and ADL values were obtained in treatment D. The nutritive quality of treatment D was proved to be higher and thus it is recommended for dry season ruminant feeding.
