- GROWTH PERFORMANCE, CARCASS AND GUT MICROBIAL ASSESSMENT OF BROILER
CHICKENS FED SCENT LEAF (OCIMUM GRATISSIMUM) SUPPLEMENTED DIETS
Authors: Mohammed Alhassan
Abstract: The growth performance, carcass composition, and gut E. coli and Lactobacillus loads of broiler chickens fed supplemented scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimum) diets were evaluated over five weeks. Fresh leaves of scent leaf were harvested, thoroughly washed, and shade-dried to a moisture content of about 12% and further ground into powder form for use as feed supplement. Ninety 21-day-old chicks were randomly selected and assigned five dietary treatments in triplicate lots. The five treatments included treatment 1 as the control, treatment 2 containing 1g of oxytetracycline per kilogram of feed, and treatments 3, 4, and 5 containing 5g, 10g and 15g of scent leaf per kg of feed, respectively. There were significant (P<0.05) differences observed in the feed intake of birds on the control diet and diets containing scent leaf supplements. The highest feed intake levels were found in the birds fed with diets containing 10 g/kg and 15 g/kg scent leaf supplements (P<0.05) respectively. Carcass dress weight was significantly higher (P<0.05) in birds fed diets containing oxytetracycline and 10g/kg scent leaf supplement respectively. There was a significant (P<0.05) decrease in E. coli concentration between the birds fed the control diet and those fed diets containing scent leaf supplements. Furthermore, birds fed diets containing 10 g/kg of scent leaf supplements had the highest (P<0.05) concentration of Lactobacillus. It can be concluded that the inclusion of scent leaf supplements in broiler chicken diets at 10g /kg has the potential to improve the growth performance and gut health of broiler chickens and can replace antibiotics, especially oxytetracycline, in broiler chicken production.

- Stomach Content of Parrot grunt(Pomadasys peroteti) From New Calabar
River, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Authors: kingsley chukwu
First page: 7
Abstract: The foods and feeding habits of Pomadasys peroteti in New Calabar River, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria was investigated in other to understand its food preferences and feeding habits via the stomach contents. The analyses of the stomach content were carried out by frequency of occurrence, number method, index of relative importance and index of stomach fullness. Parts of crabs (82.2%) constituted the most important food component while teleost was the least (1.0%). Most of its prey teleost was intact in the stomach of P.peroteti examined. This is an indication that it swallows its prey whole. Feeding intensity was found to increase with fish size. Furthermore, the fish condition was better with higher stomach fullness.Hence this species being carnivorous in nature would require high protein feed and elevated feed supply with increasing size to achieve better growth in captivity.

- A Study On The Activity Pattern Of The White-Headed Babbler, Turdoides
Affinis (Jerdon,1845)
Authors: M. Sathiamoorthi, D. Paramanatha Swami Doss
First page: 12
Abstract: The jungle babbler naturally important birds .The survey of attempt has been made to investigate the activity pattern of Turdoides affinis (Jerdon, 1845) at St. John’s college campus, Tirunelveli for a period of three months (January to March, 2021). Jungle bubblers are highly social birds, living in groups and known their noisy and active behavior. They are skilled forager,feeding on insects, fruits, and seeds. These birds are adaptable and can thrive in various habitats, including forests gardens and urban areas. Inter and intraspecific struggle for food was recorded at natural feed and artificial feeding sources like canteens. During the study period it was found that, the candidate species Turdoides affinis feed on live leaves, insects, rice and several cereals at ground level; whereas it had grasshopper and bees at aerial level. Turdoides affinis exerted higher number of single wing flapping and spreading; whereas babbler showed lesser of flapping and spreading by both the wings. The key characters selected for the study includes such as foraging, grooming, preening and wing stretching from 6.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. every day. The outcome of the present study showed a marked variation in behavior pattern.

- Characterization of Pigeon (columba livia domestica) Production Systems
and Marketing in Northern Ghana
Authors: Shuaib M.A. Husein, Anthony A. Agbolosu, Najat Ishaq
Pages: 35 - 42
Abstract: This study aimed at assessing the social characteristics of pigeon farmers, production systems and marketing in northern Ghana. A total of 90 pigeon breeders were selected for the study, with 10 farmers chosen from each of the nine districts, employing the snowball sampling technique. Respondents were surveyed using a structured questionnaire that addressed the social attributes of pigeon farmers, their practices in managing pigeons, and aspects related to pigeon production. The data underwent analysis using descriptive statistics within the SPSS software. The findings showed that pigeons hold significant social importance for many farmers, particularly those residing in rural regions. The majority of pigeon farmers were men (94.4%), and a significant proportion had a high level of illiteracy (83%). The system of rearing pigeons was mainly semi-intensive (87.8%). Most pigeon farmers (84%) had pigeon population size up to fifty (50. Respondents described the birds as hardy and highly resistant to diseases with low rate of mortality (0–5%) throughout the year. Unlike other livestock, pigeons are not processed for sale. Pigeons are sold live in local markets. They may be bought from pigeon farmers or from middle men who buy the birds from farmers and sell them at the market. Pigeons were priced based on their colour morph (64.9%). The most expensive and uncommon colour was red (66%) which was sold above five hundred (500) Ghana cedis. Colour white was next expensive pricing from fifteen (15) to twenty (20) Ghana cedis. The study concludes that pigeons play key role in the livelihood of people in the area. Promotion of this venture could increase animal protein intake of the rural poor.
