Semen quality characteristics, reaction time, testis weight and seminiferous tubule diameter of rabbit fed Neem leaf meal based diets

Background: To ascertain the effects of tropical leaf meals on semen production and semen quality. Objective: This study was conducted with the main objective of investigating the effect of neem leaf meal on physiological responses of rabbit bucks fed graded levels of neem leaf (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) meal. Materials and Methods: The varying levels of neem leaf meal (NLM) in the different ...

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,...

Performance and carcass characteristics of guinea fowl fed on dietary Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder as a growth promoter

The present work aimed at studying growth pattern and carcass traits in pearl grey guinea fowl fed on dietary Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder (NLP) over a period of 12 weeks. Day old guinea fowl keets (n=120) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups, each with 3 replicates. The first treatment was designated as control (T0) in which no supplement was added to the feed, while in tre...

Chemical characteristics of toilet soap prepared from neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) seed oil

Neem oil was obtained from the seeds of the neem tree, Azadirachta indica, exploiting a manually operating bridge press, and used to prepare toilet soap. The chemical properties of the soap were 63.75 %, 0.24 %, 0.06, 1.15 %, 12.6 % and 10.4 as its total fatty matter, total alkali, free caustic alkali, percentage chloride (% Cl), % moisture and pH respectively. Due to the phytoconstituents in n...

Neem (Azadirachta Indica L.) and Oocyte Quality

Mammalian ovary is a dynamic organ that is responsible for the production of competent oocytes required for successful fertilization and early embryonic development [1,2]. The meiotic competency folliocular is achieved within the follicular environment during final stages of folliculogenesis [3-7]. The achievement of meiotic competency starts in diplotene arrested oocytes, possessing germinal v...
