This study evaluated the change in nutritive value and situ degradability of Desmanthus spp. (desmanthus) cultivars JCU2; D. virgatus, JCU4; bicornutus JCU7; leptophyllus harvested at varying maturity stages to test hypothesis that desmanthus differ between with stage harvest. In Experiment 1, was 11, 38, 72 103 days regrowth (maturity), separated into leaf stem portion, dried analysed for dry ...

this study was conducted at beresa watershed district of guraghe administrative zone, the southern regional state of ethiopia to evaluate the on-farm reproductive and egg production performances of local kei and its f1 crosses with fayoumi and rhode island red (rir) chicken breeds under farmers’ management. the local kei paternal line was mated with maternal lines of fayoumi and rir chickens to...

During a measles outbreak, 283 serum specimens from 221 suspected cases of measles were tested by immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay for the presence of measles-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies by using commercially available reagents. There was 97% agreement between the two assays; thus, the choice of the method for diagnostic testing is a matter of convenience and experience....

This study was conducted to determine the effects of anticipated future level of CO2 on growth and dry matter partitioning of mungbean (Vigna radiata). Plants were grown from seedlings to maturity inside the open top chamber under amhient CO2 (350 +/- 25 microL L(-1)) and elevated CO2 (600 +/- 50 microL L(-1)) at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi (India). Plants were harvested a...

A study of two cultivars of ‘egusi’ melon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsun and Nakai] known as bara and serewe, was undertaken at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Agriculture Makurdi in 2010. The aim was to study the effects of variable developmental stages and position of fruits on the mother plant on seed quality. Bulk crop was raised and fruits that developed from date t...

PURPOSE Percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS) was developed as a minimally invasive outpatient procedure to address limb-length discrepancy (LLD) that allowed immediate postoperative weight bearing and was potentially reversible by removing the screws. The aims of our study were to report our results using PETS for LLD and evaluate the accuracy of three growth predictor m...
