ABSTRACT: Sustainable and stable production of fish larvae requires diet that will enhance efficient nutrient utilization and growth performance.
Pollution by benzoate and phenol is currently a major global ecological challenge. Hence, utilization of benzoate and phenol by Bacillus pumilus in saline and non-saline cultures were tested in this work.
Acute infective gastroenteritis is a major global health problem with children under 5 years of age being predominantly susceptible.
This study was conducted with the aim of studying the variations by sex and genotype in morphometry of the Oropharyngeal Cavity in Nigerian indigenous chickens. Avian mouth and pharynx do not show any definite line of demarcation, but constitute a common Oropharyngeal Cavity. Generally, anatomical structures found in the dorsal wall of the oropharynx include the palate, choanal slit, and infundibulum, while structures in the ventral wall of the Oropharynx include a concave depression between the rami of the lower beak, laryngeal mound and glottis.

Generally, leafy vegetables form an integral part of our diets as they are among the major sources of phytonutrients and mineral elements required for development, maintenance of good health and prevention of degenerative diseases. The concentrations of these nutrients in vegetables depend on the physical and chemical properties of the soil where they were grown.
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in estrogen-mediated uterine receptivity. We hypothesize that L-arginine a NO substrate will increase NO production and boost pregnancy outcomes in rats with inhibited NO synthase activity. Thirty-two pregnant rats were randomly divided into four groups, control (10 mL/kg of water), L-NAME (50 mg/kg), L-NAME + L-Arg (50 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg) and L-Arg only (500 mg/kg). L-Arg and L-NAME were administered orally and subcutaneously respectively from day 3-11 of pregnancy.
Neem also known as Azadirachta indica scientifically belong to the mahogamy family Maliaceae. Neem is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 25-30m (Biswas et al., 2002). It is also drought resistant, but in severe drought, it may shed most or nearly all of its leaves. Neem; Azadirachta indica has both enormous scientific and traditional uses. Different parts of the plants are used in the manufacture of organic fertilizer, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, traditional herbal medicines and animal feeds. A.
