ADEYEMI, Ayodeji Afolabi (2020-02)

Broiler breeder stocks are characterised by low egg fertility and hatchability. These limitations could be mitigated by dietary supplement of Vitamin E (VE). Synthetic supplemental VE is often employed in breeder hen ...
VARIATION IN SELECTEDGROWTH-INFLUENCING GENES AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH GROWTH, CARCASS CHARACTERISTICS AND THERMO-TOLERANCE OF INDIGENOUS CHICKENS IN NIGERIA

FATAI, RASHEED BABATUNDE (2020-03)

Slow growth rate and acute heat stress are the main constraints to Indigenous Chicken (IC) production in Nigeria. Characterisation of growth-influencing and heat-tolerance genes are requisites for selective breeding of ...
MOLECULAR DIVERSITY IN SELECTED GROWTH-INFLUENCING GENES ASSOCIATED WITH GROWTH AND CARCASS TRAITS OF INDIGENOUS TURKEY IN SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA

EWUOLA, KAYODE MUSLIM (2021-01)

Molecular diversity is critical for improvement of Economic Traits (ET) in Indigenous Turkeys (IT). Poor productive performance constitutes one of the main constraints to improvement of ET of IT which can be ameliorated ...
ANALYSIS OF EARLY GROWTH AND MORPHOSTRUCTURE OF FULANI ECOTYPE, BOVANS NERA CHICKEN AND THEIR CROSSBREDS

TIAMIYU, ADESINA KAMORUDEEN (2021-01)

One of the thrusts of Nigeria Agriculture Promotion Policy is the expansion of the chicken genetic pool. Crossing of indigenous chickens, such as Fulani Ecotype (FE), with exotic types which possess desirable potentials ...
BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSE OF GROWING PIGS TO ENVIRONMENTALLY ENRICHED STY

OLUYEMI, Ayoola Abidemi (2021-01)

Pigs in their natural habitat exhibit explorative habits from which they are restricted by the modern housing systems. Environmental enrichment through provision of rootable or hanging objects for exploratory activities ...
GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CALCIUM RETENTION OF BROILER CHICKENS FED DIETARY OILS

ABOKEDE, Titilope Victoria (2021-02)

Dietary Oils (DO) are used in poultry feeding without considering their effects on nutrient digestion, absorption and utilisation. Oils rich in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) may interfere with uptake of minerals especially ...
OPTIMUM INCUBATION TEMPERATURE DETERMINATION AND ALTERATION TO ENHANCE SEX REVERSAL, HATCHABILITY AND POST-HATCH PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE QUAILS (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

KINGSLEY, OMOGIADE IDAHOR (2021-02)

Japanese quails in domestication lack broody tendency hence adoption of artificial incubation for commercial production. Inappropriate Incubation Temperature-IT affects hatchability and sex determination in quails. ...
GROWTH AND AMINO ACID UTILISATION IN BROILER CHICKENS FED SUPPLEMENTAL GLYCINE IN LOW CRUDE PROTEIN DIETS WITH VARIED METHIONINE AND THREONINE

PASCHAL, CHUKWUDI AGUIHE (2021-02)

Limiting Amino Acid (AA) fortification such as methionine and threonine of vegetable based low Crude Protein (CP) diets for broiler chicks is often adopted for decreasing production cost and nitrogen emission but could ...
PERFORMANCE OF THREE NIGERIAN INDIGENOUS CHICKEN STRAINS VACCINATED AGAINST NEWCASTLE DISEASE IN OVO AND POST-HATCH

BOLARINWA, Muftau Olayemi (2021-02)

Indigenous Chickens (IC) population in Nigeria is threatened due to high Mortality Rate (MR) from Viral Diseases (VD). Vaccination is currently the most effective preventive measure against VD such as the Newcastle ...
QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF EGGS FROM HENS FED DIETARY Moringa oleifera, Ocimum gratissimum and Vernonia amygdalina LEAF MEAL INCLUSION

ADETORO, BENEDICTA OMOSALEWA (2021-03)

Green leafy vegetables like Moringa oleifera-MO, Ocimum gratissimum-OGand Vernonia amygdalina-VA are ubiquitous and contain bioactive compounds which may be used to improve quality indices of eggs. Golden yellow colour is ...
EGG CHARACTERISTICS AND LAYING PERFORMANCE OF HENS FED GRIT-BASED DIETS FROM TWO CASSAVA (Manihot esculenta CRANTZ) VARIETIES SUPPLEMENTED WITH ENZYMES

ADEBAYO, BABATUNDE FOLA (2021-06)

Maize which serves as the main dietary energy source for poultry production is bedevilled with vicious seasonal scarcity. Cassava grits has similar metabolisable energy as maize and could replace dietary maize for laying ...
NUTRITIVE VALUE OF PROCESSED GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) HAULM-BASED DIETS FOR WEST AFRICAN DWARF RAMS

ADEWUYI, Philips Ademola (2021-07)

Groundnut Haulm (GH) is a crop residue often used as a supplement for ruminant feeding in Nigeria especially during dry season. The use of GH as feedstuff is limited by bulkiness and high fibre content. Pelleting and ...
QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF CURED SMOKED CHICKEN FILLETS AS INFLUENCED BY CAPSICUM SPP. EXTRACT AND CHLORIDE SALTS

ADESHOLA, Ayobami Temitope (2021-08)

Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and sodium chloride (NaCl) are essential ingredients for meat curing. However, prolonged consumption of these salts could have deleterious health effects on consumers. Capsicum Extract (CE) has ...
FERTILITY RESPONSE OF ARTIFICIALLY INSEMINATED BROILER BREEDER HENS TO SEMEN DOSE, INSEMINATION FREQUENCY AND SEMEN DILUTION

BOLARINWA, Abosede Olabisi (2021-08)

High ratio of cock to hen required for optimal fertility under natural mating usually leads to increase cost of producing day old chicks. Adoption of Artificial Insemination (AI) could maximise the use of cocks thus ...
