Botswana imports most pig-based products from neighbouring countries. Pig farming is limited by, among other things, the negative effect of parasites and diseases on production. The object of this study was to determine the prevalence of ecto- and endoparasites in pigs of different ages and sexes in the Southeast District of Botswana. Thirty-nine pigs were sampled for endoparasites and 19 for e...

In this study, tailored-made citrus pectin-derived compounds were produced through controlled enzymatic and/or chemical modifications of commercial pectin with different degrees methylesterification (DM) and similar average molecular weight (MW). the first treatment, degradation (CP) materials by endo-polygalacturonase (EPG) yielded pectins Mw’s (between 2 60 kDa). Separation identification oli...

Electropalatography (EPG) is a technique that determines the contact patterns between the tongue and the hard palate during speech. In one of its most common forms, it utilizes an artificial palate with 62 silver electrodes embedded in its tongue-facing surface. At small regular time intervals it is recorded whether a specific electrode is contacted or not by the tongue, leading to tongue-palat...

We present a data based statistical study on the effects of seasonal variations in the growth rates of the gastro-intestinal (GI) parasitic infection in livestock. The alluded growth rate is estimated through the variation in the number of eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces in animals. In accordance with earlier studies, our analysis too shows that rainfall is the dominant variable in determining EP...

Ascaridia galli worm was chicken parasite that inflicted significant economic loss for breeders. Expensive commercial anthelmintic drug and resistance were the reasons why herbal study became strategic. The aimed at finding out effect of application turmeric (Curcuma domestica) extract in vivo on number eggs per gram (EPG) feces. It used 30 free ranging chickens classified into 2 groups 5 with ...

This paper presents a case study of the installation and use of an electronic process guide (EPG) within a small-to-medium software development company. The purpose of the study is to better understand how software engineers use this technology so that it can be improved and better used to support software process improvement. In the study the EPG was used to guide new processes in a software i...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether season, lactation number, breed standard and milk production were risk factors relating to occurrences of gastrointestinal nematodes in dairy cows during the peripartum period. Eighty-four cows were randomly selected through proportional stratified sampling. In order to analyze the fecal egg per gram (EPG) count, the data were subjected to the Sp...
