The purpose of this paper is to analyze the potentials of soybean and sunflower feed rations on the growth parameters of broilers.The study was carried out at the Department of Agricultural Extension and Management, Federal College of forestry, Jos, Plateau state.One hundred (100) day old broiler chicks were purchased and divided into two (2) group
Abstract Background Empirically derived food purchase patterns provide information about which combinations of foods were purchased from households.The objective of this study was to identify what kinds of patterns exist, which level of diet quality they represent and which factors are associated with the patterns.Methods The study made use of repr
Before the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope satellite only two classes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) were known to generate relativistic jets and thus to emit up to the γ -ray energy range: blazars and radio galaxies, both hosted in giant elliptical galaxies.The discovery by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the Fermi sate
The genus Oodera Westwood, 1874 (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae, Cleonyminae) is recorded for the first time for fine mic the Arabian Peninsula, from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman.The present study is based on specimens reared from xylophagous beetle larvae of the family Buprestidae (Coleoptera) infesting dead Acacia trees from A
Fens belong to the most threatened ecosystems in Europe.Maintaining a high water table through rewetting is an effective measure to rehabilitate many of their ecosystem functions.However, the impact of meteorological conditions such as vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and precipitation on water tables is still unclear for rewetted fens.Here, we compare
