Abstract:

Ameliorative potential of antioxidants –vitamins C and E on blood profile of Clarias gariepinus fed diets contaminated with varied levels of fumonisin B1 (FB1) was evaluated. Fusarium cultured maize containing FB1 were used to formulate diets containing approximately 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg FB1/kg constituting diets 2, 3, and 4, respectively and other nine diets constituting Diets 5 - 13 with the same varied dietary FB1 concentrations but supplemented with 0.6g of vitamin C or E or vitamins C and E. These 12 diets and a control diet were used in 12-week feeding trial. Significant (P

Growth and Haematological Properties of Rats Fed with Clarias gariepinus Cultivated in Contaminated Water

This study examines the potential threats posed by contaminated African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) by evaluating the biochemical and physiological changes in various tissues, especially the blood, of consumers. African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were cultured in water contaminated with phthalate, benzene, and cyclohexane (10μg/ml) respectively over a period of 65 days. They were thereafter ...

Growth Performance of Clarias gariepinus Fed Different Levels of Agama agama Meal Diets

This study was investigated the utilization of agama lizard meat meal (Agama agama) as dietary protein source in the diets of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (MW±SE = 33.48 g±0.13). The fingerlings were fed four Isonitrogenous and Isocaloric diets containing blends of agama lizard meal in percentages of 0 (Diet I), 10 (Diet II), 20 (Diet III) and 30% (Diet IV) respectively for 8 weeks at 5% body...

Haematological and Serum Biochemical Responses of Broilers Fed Varying Levels of Indomie Waste-Based Diets

The haematological and serum biochemical responses of broilers fed indomie waste-based diets (IWBD) were investigated using one hundred and ninety (180) day-old broiler chicks of Anak strain. The chicks were randomly allotted to the different dietary treatments having graded levels of the IWBD in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Each treatment contained 3 replicates and each replicate had ...
