Item BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES TO OPEN FIELD TESTS IN NIGERIAN LOCAL AND NICHOLAS WHITE TURKEYS(Society of Animal Production, Department of livestock and Avian Science, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka., 2017) Fayeye, Timothy Rotimi; Sola-Ojo, Foluke Eunice; Obadare, Adeola Racheal; Ayorinde, Kolade LukeIndividual differences in fearfulness play an important role in economically important traits in farm animal. Fearfulness in livestock is usually measured objectively and efficiently through behavioural testing. The present study was conducted to assess the behavioural response to open field tests of fear in two (light and heavy) genotypes of turkeys in Nigeria. 100 poults (50 per genotype) were randomly selected to evaluate response to six open field tests of fear in Nigerian local and Nicholas White poults at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks. The six open field tests of fear employed were latency to ambulate; latency to vocalize; number of vocalisations; number of squares entered; number of times defecated; and escapes attempts. The results showed that there was variation in the response of the two genotypes to the six open field tests of tests of fear. The percentage of non-responder to the six open field tests was higher in Nicholas White than the Nigerian Local poults at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. The results on latency to ambulate, vocalize and make escape attempt suggests higher fearfulness in Nigerian Local poults. Higher proportion of older birds (>8 weeks) of both genotypes respond faster to open field tests than younger birds (> 8 weeks). There is the need for further study to understand the mechanisms underlying age related bahavioural response pattern to fear in turkey.Item Effects of Baobab (Andasonia digitata) Seed Meal on Growth and Morphometric Traits in Broiler Chickens(Nigerian Society for Experimental Biology, 2013-07) Sola-Ojo, Foluke Eunice; Toye, Afolabi Ayokunle; Bolu, Steven Abiodun; Ojo, Victoria; Okukpe, Kehinde Matthias; Alli, Oluwasayope Ibidapo; Adeyemi, Kazeem Dauda; Garba, S.O.Item Introduction to Animal Production(Tunde-Babs Publication, Nigeria, 2016) Okukpe, Kehinde Matthias; Adua, Mango M.; Sola-Ojo, Foluke Eunice; Chimezie, Victoria Oluladun; Badmos, A.A.; Alli, Oluwasayope Ibidapo; Adeyemi, Kazeem Dauda; Yusuf, A.T.; Ajao, Babatunde H.; Aderibigbe, T.A.Item LIPID PEROXIDATION IN SMOKE-DRIED AFRICAN CATFISH TREATED WITH Moringa oleifera MARINADE, SALT OR BUTYLATED HYDROXYL ANISOLE(Croatian Journal of Fisheries., 2014) Adeyemi, Kazeem Dauda; El-Imam, Aminat Mustapha Ahmed; Olorunsanya, Ayotunde Oluwatunbo; Sola-Ojo, Foluke Eunice; Olatunji, Olaife Salome; Okukpe, Kehinde Mathias; Dosunmu, Olusegun Oyeshina; Shittu, Rafiat Morolayo; Karim, Olayinka Ramota; Fatai, Ismail AdewaleSmoke-dried fish is vulnerable to lipid peroxidation, which can reduce product quality and pose health risks to consumers. The study examined the antioxidant potency of Moringa oleifera marinade on oxidative stability of smoke-dried catfish in comparison with salt and Butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA), a synthetic antioxidant. Seventy-two catfish (208±6 g) were processed, randomly assigned to six antioxidant treatment groups and hot smoked. The treatments are the control (0%), 1%, 2% and 3% (w/v) Moringa oleifera marinade (MOM), 5% Brine (w/v) and 0.2% BHA (w/v). The smoke-dried fish were stored at room temperature (35±10C) for 8 weeks. Lipid peroxidation was monitored weekly using Thiobarbituric acid (TBA)assay. The results showed that Moringa oleifera marinade and BHA decreased lipid peroxidation more than (p< 0.05) the control (0.94 mg/MDA/kg) and salt (0.92 mg/MDA/kg) treated samples. This was shown by the lower Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values of 1% MOM (0.44 mg/MDA/kg), 2% MOM (0.88 mg/MDA/kg), 3% MOM (0.85 mg/MDA/kg) and BHA (0.80 mg/MDA/kg) treated samples. A general increase in oxidative spoilage was observed for all treatments as storage time progressed. However, the increment was more (p<0.05) intense in control and salt treated samples. No significant (p>0.05) difference was observed among all Moringa treated samples and BHA. Moringa oleifera marinade could be used as an alternative to BHA in suppressing lipid peroxidation in smoke-dried African catfish stored for 8 weeks.Item Lipid Peroxidation in Smoke-dried African Catfish Treated with Moringa oleifera Marinade, Salt or Butylated Hydroxyl Anisole(University of Zagreb, Faculty of Agriculture., 2014) Adeyemi, Kazeem Dauda; Ahmed El-Imam, A.M.; Olorunsanya, A.O.; Sola-Ojo, Foluke Eunice; Olatunji, O.S.; Okukpe, Kehinde Matthias; Dosunmu, O.O.; Shittu, R.M.; Karim, R.O.; Adewale, Fatai IItem Relations Between Body Weight and Linear Body Measurements at Specific Growth Stages in Arbor Acre Broiler Chickens(World Journal of Applied Science and Technology, Faculty of Science, University of Uyo, Nigeria, 2013) Sola-Ojo, Foluke Eunice; Toye, Afolabi Ayokunle; Ayorinde, Kolade Luke; Okukpe, Kehinde Matthias; Oluwole, B.E.Item The role of Moringa oleifera aqueous roots extract on haemopoiesis in chicken(Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Damanhour University Egypt., 2019) Furo, Nathan; Ambali, Abdul-Ganiyu; Ola-Fadunsin, Shola; Sola-Ojo, Foluke EuniceThis study evaluates the haemopoietic effect of Moringa oleifera aqueous roots extract on chickens. Six hundred grams (600g) of fresh Moringa oleifera roots was collected, washed, air dried, pulverized and aqueous extracted. The aqueous roots extract was further subjected to chemical extraction with chlorofoam, ethyl acetate and n-butanol chemicals based on their order of polarity. The root extract also underwent qualitative chemical screening for identification of the various classes of active chemical constituents of the plant root material. It was found to contain carbohydrates, Saponins, cardiac glycosides, Terpenes, steroids, Flavonoids and alkaloids in various concentrations. The ethyl-acetate portion which has the highest level of concentration of the constituents and thus was used for sub-acute toxicity studies in chickens. In the sub-acute studies, haematological parameters showed that the extract stimulated significant increase in red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and packed cell volume (PCV). This erythropoietic activity of the extract is an indication that M. oleifera aqueous roots extract have the capability of preventing anaemia in chicken and boosting the immune system.
