Leaf starter

ow does a growing cell know that it’s big enough to divide? Challenging a long-held view, a new study argues that the decision depends mainly on external factors that stimulate growth and division rather than an internal mechanism for assessing size. The standard take on the relationship between growth and division envisions a “size checkpoint” during the cell cycle, where the cell somehow gaug...

Haematological and serum biochemical indices of starter broilers fed leaf meal of neem (Azadirachta indica)

A 28-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf meal on the haematological and serum biochemical indices of starter broilers. The Neem leaves used in the experiment were manually harvested, air-dried and milled to become Neem leaf meal. The Neem leaf meal was included in broiler starter diets at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10% levels,...

Effects of starter nitrogen fertilizer on soybean root activity, leaf photosynthesis and grain yield

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of starter nitrogen fertilizer on soybean root activity, leaf photosynthesis, grain yield and their relationship. To achieve this objective, field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014, using a randomized complete block design, with three replications. Nitrogen was applied at planting at rates of 0, 25, 50, and 75 kg N ha-1. In both ye...

Effect of Aqueous Extract of Telfairia occidentalis Leaf on the Performance and Haematological Indices of Starter Broilers

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of aqueous extract of Telfairia occidentalis (Fluted Pumpkin) leaf on the performance and haematological indices of starter broilers. A total of 200, 8-day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to five (5) treatments, each with 4 replicate groups containing 10 chicks and fed with standard starter broiler diets. Telfaria occidentalis leav...
