Item Basic Terms and Concepts in Animal Production: An Illustrated Guide(2014) Yousuf, M.B.; Sola-Ojo, F.E.; Badmos, A.H.A.; Amin, A.B.; Kolo, U.M.; Sikiru, A.B.Item Effect of aqueous and ether extract of Moringa oleifera seed on quality of west African soft cheese(International Moringa and Nutraceutical Research Society of the Unilorin Plantation Maintennance Committee., 2014) Badmos, A.H.A.; Ahmed-el Imam, A.; Olatunde, A.O.; Akindele, K.Item Effect of Different Levels of Moringa Oleifera Oil on the performance Characteristics of Pregnant Goat(Faculty of Agriculture, University of Uyo, Uyo, Nigeria., 2014) Belewu, M.A; Ahmed, M.A; Badmos, A.H.A.; Esan, O.T.; Abdulsalam, K.O.; Odebisi, M.B.; Arise, A.K.This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of Moringa oleifera oil on feed intake and digestibility coefficient of pregnant Goat . The pregnant West African Dwarf Goat (Doe) were assigned to three experimental Diets A, B and C in a Latin square Design model for a eight week period. The experimental Diet A (control) had no inclusion of Moringa oleifera oil while Diets B and C had 0.25g/kg and 0.5g/kg Moringa oil inclusion respectively. There were significant differences in the feed intake of all the parameters evaluated. While the DM, CP and CF digestibilities of the experimental animals were similar (P>0.05). However, there was significant difference in the ether extract digestibility of the experimental animals. In conclusion, the inclusion of Moringa oleifera oil holds a good potential in the diet of pregnant West African Dwarf goat.Item Effect of Supernatants of various cereal and cereal mixtures on yield and acceptability of soft Cheese(Published by the Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Bayero University, Kano., 2014) Badmos, A.H.A.; Joseph, KItem Efficacy of Mucor indicus and Abisidia carybifera Treated Jatropha curcas kernel on Performance Characteristics of Goat(The Society for the Conservation of Phytofuels and Sciences, 2013) Belewu, M.A.; Odebisi, M.T.; Esan, O.T.; Abdulsalam, K.O.; Arise, A.K.; Badmos, A.H.A.; Lawal, R.A.; Ugbamaja, E.R.; Okin, H.O.; Adebayo, A.M.The study evaluates the efficiency of Mucor indicus and Absidia corymbifera treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake on the performance characteristics of weaner West African dwarf goats (average BW= 6.25kg). The goats (n=25) were randomly allocated to five dietary Treatments A, B, C, D and E in a Completely Randomised design model for a 56 day period. Treatments A ( Control, contained Groundnut cake as protein source); Treatment B (contained 50% Groundnut cake plus 50% Mucor indicus treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake), Treatment C (contained 50% Groundnut cake plus 50% Absidia corymbifera treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake) , Treatment D (contained 25% Groundnut cake plus 75% Mucor indicus treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake) and Treatment E (contained 25% Groundnut cake plus 75% Absidia corymbifera treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake). The results revealed higher crude protein and ether extract contents for the fungi treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake compared to the untreated cake. Conversely, the crude fibre content of the fungi treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake was lower than the untreated cake. Additionally, the crude fibre content of the fungi treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake was reduced between 20% (Mucor indicus) and 28% (Abisidia corymbifera) compared to the untreated cake. Similarly, the dry matter, crude protein, ether extract and ash contents of the fungi treated Treatments B, C, D and E were numerically higher (P> 0.05) compared to the Control (Treatment A). Conversely, the Crude fibre content of Treatments B, C, D and E was lower compared to Treatment A (Control). The dry matter intake of Treatments B and E compared favourably with that of the Control (Treatment A) but significantly higher than Treatments C and D. The crude protein, ash and nitrogen free extract intakes followed similar trend. The crude fibre intake of Treatments A and E were similar but significantly higher than other Treatments. Animals on Treatments B and E had similar weight gain to that of the Control (Treatment A). With the exception of dry matter digestibility of Treatment A which was significantly higher than other Treatments, other nutrient digestibility (crude protein, ether extract and nitrogen free extract) were similar(p>0.05). The Crude fibre digestibility was lower for the fungi treated Treatments compared to the Control. It could be concluded that inclusion of 50% Mucor indicus treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake and 75% Absidia corymbifera treated Jatropha curcas kernel cake could be used to supplement for high cost of groundnut cake in the diet of goat.
