The goal of this research was to identify the genetic pool of the Bunaji and Sokoto-Gudali cows using haemoglobin (Hb) polymorphism. Blood samples were collected from a total of 150 mature Bunaji, Sokoto-Gudali and HolsteinXBunaji cows in north western Nigeria. To reveal the band...
Mood disorder in women during pregnancy is a critical public issue. Generally, pregnancy and childbirth has major impact in the development of mental depression in women. There are many factors in which depression occur, such as post pregnancy depression after past deliveries, ev...
Aims: To non-invasively collect the fecal samples of 12 different mammals and devise a simple method of fecal DNA extraction using a modified phenol-chloroform procedure of DNA isolation for species identification. Study Design: The experiment was laid out to check the applicabi...
Microorganism has been used since the start of human society. Enzyme processing processes are quickly gaining the attention because of their short time of processing, cost effective, non-toxic, low energy input and environment friendly characters as well. Moreover, through protei...
Microorganisms have been used to assist in the processing of food throughout human history, long before humans realized that these organisms were responsible for the fermentation processes. Alterations are prepared to the genetic makeup of microorganisms to either produce a new p...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of methanol extract of ripe Carica papaya (pawpaw) fruit peel in adult male wistar rats. Six groups of adult male wistar rats of five rats per group were used for the study. Group 1 was the normal control; Group...
The existence of genetic variability in plant material is considered to be the basis of crop improvement. A plant breeder finds this variability in various ways to create new crop varieties which are capable of withstanding different types of stresses including drought, temperatu...
Introduction: Paecilomyces formosus is a geographically widespread entomopathogenic fungus that produces infectious conidia against Anopheles mosquito larvae, which curtail the uprising resistance of mosquitoes against synthetic insecticides. These mosquitoes are known vectors of...
The basis of crop improvement is the existence of genetic variability in plant material. A breeder exploits it in several different ways to create new crops varieties which are capable of outperforming their ancestors in the expression of various economic characters like yield, q...
