The effects of bamboo poles as substrate for periphyton development on the growth and production of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, was evaluated over a period of 90 days. Three treatments, namely manure application as control (C), control and substrate installation (C + S) and, control and substrate with supplementary feeding (C + S + F) were randomly allotted to six earthen ponds eac...

Over long years, neuroscientists have attempted to trace in cartographic detail the neural circuitry underlying goal-oriented movements, such as reaching, grasping, and handling objects. The modularity, precision, and smoothness of such movements arise from motor commands that descend from the brain to muscles, triggering rapid and continual feedback, which in turn helps fine tune the impact of...

Determination of the physiological electrophoretic patterns in animals is very useful for clinicians in diagnosing healthy and sick animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the serum protein electrophoretic pattern in cows, sheep, and goats in order to evaluate the differences in the size and number of protein fractions between the evaluated ruminant species. Ten adult multiparou...
