This research studies soil-compacted bricks using phosphogypsum (PG) in their dosage. Laboratory tests were performed to assess these bricks’ physical characteristics. To obtain the bricks, two dosages used: 4 and 7% of concentration. Bricks with no mixture also assessed as a benchmark. The brick’s characteristics obtained by dried sun an oven at 900 °C for 96 h. results laboratory analyzed thr...

INTRODUCTION In recent times, food safety and security have generally remained basic human needs, therefore because of the largely unregulated nature of the Nigerian markets, coupled with the poor housing and feeding conditions to which animals are subjected in the abattoirs, a survey for assessing potential mycotoxin exposure through meat consumption was undertaken.

Two experiments were conducted using 2 ruminally and duodenally fistulated steers to determine the digestibility of undegradable intake protein (UIP) of smooth bromegrass (Bromis inermis), birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus coniculatus L.), and heat-treated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) using the mobile nylon bag technique. Undegradable intake protein was determined using neutral detergent insoluble CP at a ...
