light, amber and dark colored kernels were rated by eye on a scale of 3 different genotypes (zh1, zh2 and zh3). the oil content was measured using the soxhlet extraction method, ranged from 57.26 to 68.29%, for zh1 (light) and zh2 (amber) respectively. fatty acid compositions were measured using gas chromatography. the main fatty acids were linoleic, oleic and linolenic acids, respectively. als...

background: the performance and parasitology of semi-intensively managed west african dwarf (wad) lambs were evaluated following exposure to gastrointestinal helminth infected paddock and varied protein-energy feeds. methods: twenty four lambs obtained from the department of animal breeding and genetics and brought to directorate of university farm (dufarm) of federal university of agriculture ...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate how interactions between forage to concentrate ratio and dietary crude protein level may alter nitrogen efficiency and UT-B expression in growing Baluchi male lambs. Four Baluchi male lambs [30 ± 2 kg BW] were used in a 4 × 4 latin square design with 28-d periods and a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments. The treatments fed forage: concent...
