feed resources availability at cheap and affordable prices for livestock consumption are major factors determining capability of livestock production to supply products for increasing urban and cities consumers in nigeria. to take advantages of the high demand in urban areas, livestock producers on extensive pastoralism are moving closer to cities and urban communities such as abuja the nigeria...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility and accuracy of intraoperative three-dimensional fluoroscopy as an adjunct for the placement of a complex spinal instrumentation. METHODS The Siemens Iso-C three-dimensional fluoroscopy unit in the combination with the Stealth Treon computer volumetric navigational system was used. A total of 279 spinal ins...

The effect of changing dietary energy and crude fibre concentrations on the utilization of metabolizable energy (ME) was investigated in four growing ostrich chicks by addition of lucerne meal to a maize-lucerne based diet. The experiment was carried out in an indirect open circuit calorimeter. When ME concentration was lowered by 7.5%, cell wall digestibility decreased by 9% and energy metabol...

SAMSON, FREDERICK E., JR., WILLIAM M. BALFOUR AND NANCY A. DAHL. Rate of cerebral ATP utilization in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 1 g8( I) : 2 I 3-2 I 6. 1 g6o.-The rate of adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) disappearance in the brain after inhibition of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism was investigated. It was found that the rate increases with increasing age in the neonatal rat and that the effect of lower...

responses to sugars in dry or liquid formvary from study to study. when fed in proper amounts, sugars should not depress ruminalph, and there is some evidence that they actuallyhelp toprevent a drop in ph after consuming largemeals of concentrate by maintaining a highernumberoflactate-fermenting bacteria. adding sugars doesprioritize the need for rumen degraded protein (rdp).we all know, sugars...

Following the reports of Graham (3) and Shaw, Boyd, and Petersen (6) it has been generally accepted that the lactating mammary gland utilizes lactic acid. These reports were based on arteriovenous differences in which it was found that the mammary venous blood usually contained less lactic acid than the arterial blood. The arteriovenous lactic acid differences reported are extremely variable, e...

the main asset of farmers is their labour and the utilization of healthcare services will help to improve their health and thus productivity. some of the problems inhibiting proper utilization of healthcare services in nigeria include non-availability, inaccessibility and high cost of medical care. the aim of this paper is to examine the determinants of the utilization of healthcare services am...

Background: Health utilization inequality is a major concern for health policymakers. Equality in utilization of services is very important for having a healthy society. The aim of this study was to describe inequality in dental care utilization in Iran, Therefore, concentration index, its curve, and the predictors of inequality in utilization of dental services and their spending were calculat...
