L’objectif de cette étude est de répertorier les pratiques relatives à l’utilisation des plantes pour des fins alimentaires et de santé animales en vue de les améliorer. Ainsi, 70 éleveurs de porcs ont été interviewés sur la base d’un questionnaire prenant en compte les techniques d’élevages, la gestion sanitaire, alimentaire et des infrastructures, mais aussi l’utilisation des plantes dans l’élevage. Il en ressort que la majorité des éleveurs sont de sexe masculin (91,43%) et essentiellement caractérisés par les niveaux d’études primaire (34,29%) et secondaire (40%). Les porcs de races améliorées (94,29%) sont priorisés au Sud-Bénin et ces porcs sont élevés en claustration permanente pour la plupart avec une dominance d’habitats en dur (85,71%). La majorité des éleveurs formulent eux même leurs rations alimentaires avec des suppléments de fourrages. La gale (68,57%) et la peste porcine africaine (38,57%) ont été les pathologies les plus citées par les éleveurs. Au total, 42 espèces végétales appartenant à 23 familles botaniques ont été identifiées au cours de cette étude. Ces plantes sont utilisées aussi bien pour l’alimentation (60%) que pour le traitement de maladies (19%) ou les deux modes (29%). Moringa oleifera (15,14%), Carica papaya (13,3%), Manihot esculenta (12,39%), Ipomea aquatica (9,17%) et Talinum triangulare (8,72%) ont été les plantes les plus citées. Les feuilles (78%) constituent la partie la plus utilisée au niveau des plantes. Au total, 22 recettes ont été recensées, constituées d’une seule plante chacune et administrées le plus par voie orale et sous la forme de crudité. La recette impliquant Carica papaya (17,44%) dans le traitement de la parasitose digestive a été plus citée. De plus, une indication a été enregistrée auprès des éleveurs de porcs du Sud-Bénin pour le traitement de la peste porcine africaine impliquant Cochlospermum planchonii (6,98%). Les résultats obtenus sont la preuve que la flore béninoise dispose de plantes utilisées en alimentation et dans les soins de santé porcine qui peuvent faire objet de la production de provende et de phytomédicament utilisables en médecine vétérinaire.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"142 1","pages":"7677-7694"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81715376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine dry matter content in genetically divergent wheat varieties, to identify varieties with a higher dry matter content, as well as to determine the accumulation rate of dry matter in different phenological phases. The highest increase in the amount of dry matter occurred in the phase of seed filling (16.31%). The fastest accumulation of dry matter for a period of one week was recorded in the phenological phase of milk maturation. Based on the results, it was concluded that phenological phase of seed filling is an important period of the wheat development for the accumulation of dry matter. The amount of accumulated dry matter depends on the variety of wheat. Varieties with higher amount of accumulated dry matter can be possibly used for selection and hybridization.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88632201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the end of this study, five (05) local ecotypes were collected which varied according to the ethnic group.

Après application des différents fertilisants organiques, une durée de décomposition de 15 jours a été observée avant semis dans des pots de 1,5 kg.

The study was conducted in four localities with different cocoa agroforestry systems. The sampling was made on cocoa trees in quadrats of 30mx30m and the attack rate was calculated. Eleven (11) termite species were identified. The wood-feeders groups were dominant. These termites were responsible for 41.82% of the damage on cocoa trees. Termite Attacks vary between different cropping systems. Full sun systems were most attacked comparing to intermediate shade systems that were least attacked by termites.

Current management measures are not fully effective. Grafting with resistant rootstocks may be an effective strategy for managing the disease. However, R. solanacearum populations maintain considerable diversity, and little information is known regarding the efficacy of available rootstocks for use in grafting to reduce bacterial wilt incidence and subsequent crop loss. Tomato belongs to family Solanaceae which includes other well-known species, such as eggplant (aubergine), peppers, tobacco and potato. The objective of this study was to identify bacterial wilt resistant germplasm that can be used as rootstocks in tomato grafting. The potential candidates for the study included species that belong to solanaceae family. Rootstocks included tomato cultivar Mt56, Eggplant (Solanum melongena), Capsicum and Sodom apple (Solanum incarnum). Tomato cultivars Anna F1 and Cal J were used as sources of scions. Diseased plants were collected from farmers’ fields and bacterial inoculum isolated using CPG Medium with TZC used to identify distinct colonies of R.solanacearum. The inoculum was applied on the test plants by injecting into the soil planted with tomatoes. Disease severity data was recorded using 0 to 5 scoring scale. Data was subjected to ANOVA using Genstat version 15 and significantly different treatment means separated using LSD at P < 0.05. Solanum melongena, Solanum incarnum and tomato cultivar (Mt56) did not develop infection while tomato cultivar Anna F1 and Cal J (used as positive controls) and Capsicum developed infection. It was concluded that resistant germplasm to bacterial wilt exists and can be utilized to graft susceptible tomato cultivars and contribute to management of bacterial wilt.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"26 1","pages":"7452-7457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76759385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
