The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of complete replacement of maize with two varieties of guinea corn and two varieties of millets on the growth performance and nutrient retention in broiler chickens. Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets for the broiler starter (23.5% CP; 2800 kcal/ME) and finisher (21.5% CP; 2900 kcal/ME) phases were formulated. Diet 1 consisted on a maize b...

Three teeth of the shark Serratolamna serrata (Agassiz) from the Guinea Corn Formation (Central Inlier) represent the first recorded occurrence of fossil sharks from Cretaceous rocks of Jamaica. This occurrence increases the known palaeogeographical distribution of S. serrata, which appears to have been global. This species is largely known from the Upper Maastrichtian, which helps confirm the ...

—The large plagioptychid rudist bivalve Mitrocaprina tschoppi (Palmer) is recorded from the Guinea Corn Formation (Late Maastrichtian) of central Jamaica. This is the first record of this species outside of Cuba. M. tschoppi occurs in rhythm D6 of the Guinea Corn Formation, Macgillavryia Bed 1, together with a rudist assemblage including Praebarrettia sparcilirata (Whitfield), Macgillavryia nic...

This paper reports on the experimental determination of the thermal conductivities of some selected powdered food stuffs and their mixtures. The foodstuffs considered are: guinea corn flour, rice flour, maize flour, beans flour, cassava flour and yam flour. One to one mixtures of these foodstuffs were made in equal ratios to give mixtures of rice and beans flour, cassava and guinea corn flour a...

Effect of red guinea corn and soybean plants growing on diesel-polluted soil the total heterotrophic diesel degrading microbes were studied. Soil sample was collected from Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri school farm with aid a spade transported to preparation ground in clean plastic buckets where it sun-dried for 3 days. 3kg each loamy weighed out triplicates set mixed 30ml, 150ml 300ml obtai...

Polycyclic aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs are harmful persistent organic pollutants formed by incomplete combustion of matter. They carcinogenic and mutagenic can occur in foods. These underutilized grains- guinea corn, pigeon peas bambra nut commonly consumed South East Nigeria. This study aimed to quantitatively determine the polycyclic hydrocarbons contamination levels these grains (guinea bamb...

The study determined the proximate composition and sensory evaluation of Guinea corn (Sorghum bicolor) meal enriched with soybeans (Glycine max) groundnut (Arachishypogaea) for infant feeding. Three (3) research questions were raised one (1) hypotheses formulated tested at 0.05 significant level. design adopted this is Research Development Design. panelists used comprised forty (40) Nursing Mot...

Studies were carried out to determine the independent and interactive effects of dietary fat and cholesterol on the regulation of hepatic apoB/E receptor expression and its relationship to hepatic cholesterol concentrations and low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle characteristics. Guinea pigs were fed 15% (w/w) fat diets (lard, olive oil, or corn oil) with cholesterol levels corresponding to ...
