Effect of storage time on internal and external characteristics of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) eggs
(Journal of Animal Science Advances, 2012)
The effect of 0, 4, 7, 10 and 14 days storage times on quality characteristics of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) eggs was studied. Data were subjected to ANOVA using the General Linear Models (GLM) procedure of Statistical ...
Cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions against unfed tick larval extract of Rhipicephalus evertsi in South African Mutton Merino, Namaqua Afrikaner and Dorper sheep
(Elsevier:, 2018-07-23)
Indigenous Namaqua Afrikaner (NA) sheep have been reported to be more resistant to tick infestation than the commercial Dorper and South African Mutton Merino (SAMM) breeds. The aim of this study was to compare cutaneous ...
Excess rumen degradable protein influences the rate of development and glucose metabolism of fertilized sheep ova
(2017-11-20)
The level of protein degradability in ruminant diets, notably in the peri-ovulatory period and during the early weeks of gestation, can significantly affect conceptus survival and may even interfere with normal control of ...

This contribution reports on the synthesis and the main physical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized for the first time by a completely green process using Agathosma betulina plant extract as an effective chelating ...
Cross-sectional prevalence of Fasciola gigantica infections in beef cattle in Botswana
(Springer Link, 2018-04-26)
A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence and distribution of Fasciola gigantica infections in communally grazed and ranch-grazed beef cattle through coprological examination. A total of 8646 ...
Nutrient digestibility, haemo-biochemical parameters and growth performance of an indigenous chicken strain fed canola meal–containing diets
(SpringerLink, 2019-06-06)
Canola meal (CM) is a potential alternative dietary protein source for indigenous chickens but its utility may be limited by anti-nutrients such as fibre and phytochemical compounds. This study, therefore, explores the ...
