VILLAGE POULTRY PRODUCTION IN THE SUDAN. A survey form provided by the Joint FAO/IAEA Division was used to collect data on village poultry production in the Sudan. The production system in the households was based on scavenging indigenous domestic chickens, at times accompanied by pigeons, guinea fowls, ducks or turkeys. The average flock size was 18.8 birds and included 44.3% hens, 10% cocks, ...

Abstract In this research, the physical properties of millet grains such as length, width, thickness, weight a thousand and size were studied for six varieties represented by Proso grown in Iraq imported foxtail (Ukrainian (1) - Russian (2)), finger small addition to sorghum. study, was superior grain length 1) character while highest value. Before soaking cultivars under bulk density one (0.66...

Millet is Alongside rice, maize and sorghum one of the main cereals grown in Senegal. However, its production still facing some challenges including weed pressure, lack nutrients water soil. This study aims to contribute improvement agricultural groundnut basin through sustainable management. Specifically, we intend to: 1-determine effect Prosopis juliflora extracts on stem growth yield, 2- cha...

A brown midrib (BMR) sorghum pasture was compared with normal sorghum for its effects on performance of Holstein cows in midlactation in terms of milk production and composition at grazing over three periods (Period 1: 20/01 to 31/01, Period 2: 17/02 to 28/02, Period 3: 19/03 to 30/03). Forty Holstein cows were grouped according to pre-experimental milk production (22.4 ± 4.2 kg/d milk), live w...

Resistance categories (antibiosis and tolerance) of four sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) hybrids to biotype I greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), were determined in environmental growth chamber and field studies. Greenbug weight and fecundity were lower on ‘Cargill 607E’ compared with ‘Cargill 797’. Percentage of leaf damage area was significantly less on two resistant hybrids (Cargi...

Crop residues are sustainable feedstock for bioenergy production. The gross crop residue potential generated in India is 696.38 million tonnes/year. Cereal crops generate about 364.27 tonnes/year of residues. (rice, wheat, sorghum, pearl millet, maize), sugarcane and horticultural (coconut, areca nut, banana) found to have immense generation potential. 209.69 available as surplus can be explore...

Particleboard is a product of wood technology engineering made particles and other lignocellulosic materials which are bonded with synthetic adhesives. As an information, utilization natural adhesive for particleboard still limited. This study aimed to determine the influence hybrid from citric acid sucrose properties composed Sengon veener by-products sorghum stalk. The content used was 15% 25...

Diversification and expansion of the poultry industry with fast-growing highly prolific birds such as quail ( Coturnix coturnix ), could contribute significantly in achieving global food nutrition security. However, sustainable intensification relies on cost dietary ingredients used during feed formulations. The use non-conventional energy sources sorghum, millet, cassava lieu expensive maize, ...

Moringa oleifera is a nutrient rich plant that has the potential to combat malnutrition problems in Africa. This study aims to investigate the effect of fortification using Moringa oleifera flower powder on the sensory and proximate attributes of fermented yellow maize and millet blend (Ogi). The formulation was grouped into seven blends in ratio 100:0:0, 70:30:0, 70:25:5, 70:20:10, 70:15:15, 7...

This study aimed to determine iodine, selected goitrogens in some grains Sokoto. Related factors were measured clay, loamy, and sandy soils using standard methods reagents of analytical grade. Western zone (WZ) has highest iodine (29 ± 0.01 ppm), then Central Zone (CZ) (26 Eastern (EZ) had (24 ppm). Sandy soil pH (6.55 0.08), clay (5.02 0.06) lastly loamy (4.02 0.05). Organic matter was (7.3±1....
