the study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding acacia auriculata (aa), gmelina arborea (ga), albizia lebbeck (al) and butryospermum parkii (bp) tree forages as a sole feed for nigerian goats. four goats (yankasa) averaging one year and weighing 11.7±1.8 kg were used to measure the feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen balance. the leaves were offered ad libitum. dry matter (dm) int...

Sheanut cake (SNC), expeller (SNE) and solvent extractions (SNSE) samples were evaluated to determine their suitability in animal feeding. The CP content was highest in SNSE (16.2%) followed by SNE (14.7%) and SNC (11.6%). However, metabolizable energy (ME, MJ/kg) was maximum in SNC (8.2) followed by SNE (7.9) and SNSE (7.0). The tannin phenol content was about 7.0 per cent and mostly in the fo...

The family Ariidae, sea catfish of the order Siluriformes, is widely distributed throughout world, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. three species Ariidae found on coasts estuaries West Africa are smoothmouth Carlarius heudelotii (Valenciennes 1840), rough-head latiscutatus (Günther 1864) Guinean parkii 1864). They have been increasingly exploited by artisanal industrial coastal f...
