An experiment was conducted during kharif (summer) season 2021 at the substation of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Gopalganj, Bangladesh. Yield and yield contributing attributes of BINA developed four sesame varieties were observed during the trial. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications was performed. The varieties were V1 = Binatil-1, V2 = Binatil-2, V3 = Binatil-3 and V4 = Binatil-4. Results from the experiment revealed that plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod length, pod breadth, number of seeds pod-1, 1000 seed weight and seed yield were significantly different among the varieties. The tallest plant (106.00 cm) was found in Binatil-1 while shortest plant (77.33 cm) was observed in Binatil-3. It was observed that Binatil-2 had the foremost branches plant-1 (4.80) while the lowest number of branches plant-1 was found in Binatil-1 (0.33). Moreover, Binatil-3 showed the very best number of pods plant-1 (93.33) while Binatil-1 gave the lowest number of pods plant-1 (47.87). The largest pod was found in Binatil-1 (3.74 cm) while the smallest was found in Binatil-2 (2.42 cm). It had been recorded that Binatil-1 showed the maximum number of seeds pod-1 (76.97) while Binatil-3 gave the minimum number of seeds pod-1 (57.60). The highest number of thousand seed weight was recorded in Binatil-3 (3.12 g) while the lowest thousand seed weight was recorded in Binatil-1 (2.93 g). It had been detected that the variety Binatil-2 showed the highest seed yield (1.35 ha-1) while Binatil-1 gave the lowest seed yield (1.25 ha-1). The remarkable growth and yield performance of sesame from kharif season (summer) trial was observed at Binatil-2. And it will be helpful to select the varieties having high yield potential as well as future breeding materials of sesame in Bangladesh. Vol. 9, No. 3, December 2022: 247-251

Gastrointestinal parasitism and anthelmintic efficacy are of global concern for livestock and public health. An investigation on cattle gastrointestinal parasites and anthelmintic efficacy was conducted at Fulbaria Upazila, Mymensingh in 2017. Out of 100 fecal samples examined using simple sedimentation method, 70% cattle were found positive for parasites. The identified parasites were Paramphistomum spp. (27%), Fasciola gigantica (15%), Schistosoma spp. (10%), Haemonchus spp. (14 %) and Balantidium coli (12%). No significant variation was found in the prevalence rate between young (<2 years) and adult cattle (≥ 2 years). Significantly higher infection rate was recorded in male (81.63%) and in poor body conditioned animals (95.83%). For anthelmintic efficacy, feces from 50 animals were screened for eggs per gram (EPG) using McMaster technique. Twenty four cattle (>200 EPG) were allotted equally into three groups and further treated with either albendazole or ivermectin or kept as untreated control. EPG were again estimated for those animals at 14 days post-treatment. Status of anthelmintic efficacy was determined by using the fecal egg count reduction percentage (FECR %) test. The FECR % for albendazole and ivermectin were 98.76% and 95.01%, respectively. Results from this study indicated high parasitism in the study area and relatively higher efficacy of albendazole compared to ivermectin. Further studies are necessary to rule out the possibilities of anthelmintic resistance to parasites in cattle throughout the country as early as possible with a view to increase farmer awareness and to develop effective control strategies against endoparasites.

A cross sectional prospective study was carried out to determine the prevalence of demographic status associated with pet owners and animals, and pattern of drugs used in prescription during study period from February 2019 to April 2019 at Central Veterinary Hospital (CVH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 493 clinical cases were analyzed and found that educated and illiterate calculated as 64.2% and 13.8% of dog owners, and 89.4% and 10.6% of cat owners. Among the pet animals, males were higher (dogs 64.3%, cats 52.1%) compared to females (dogs 35.7%, cats 47.9%). In relation to breed of pet animals, local breed was higher in both cases of dogs (33.4%) and cats (55.9%). Tendency of pet owners for deworming (36.4% in dogs, 23.9% in cat) and vaccination (45.3% in dogs, 37.8% in cats) were not satisfactory. The prevalence of noninfectious diseases was 40.7% in dogs and 59.6% in cats followed by infectious diseases (26.6% in dogs, 14.9% in cats). Overall prescribed antimicrobials were higher (49.5% in dogs, 62.2% in cat) than others. Among them, most frequently used antimicrobials in dogs were fluroquinolone with metronidazole/beta lactams (93.7%) in infectious case followed by Cephalosporin (56.3%) due to non-infectious case. On the contrary, metronidazole was used (100%) due to noninfectious case followed by cephalosporin (28.3%) in infectious case in cats. These results indicate the level of awareness of vaccination and deworming practice, management styles of their pets in Dhaka and socio economic condition of owners.

This research was conducted to identify the effects of different doses of auxin on the cutting of Mulberry (Morus alba). The study was conducted in Syangja district from April 2022 to June 2022. Stem cuttings of the plant were subjected to different treatments; IBA concentration (Control, 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm, and 4000 ppm). The experiment was carried out in a Randomization Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated thrice. The physiology of mulberry is highly affected by auxin, a rooting hormone. In the case of different IBA concentrations, the maximum rooting percentage (81.33%) was found in cuttings which were treated with a 4000 ppm concentration of auxin. Similarly, cuttings treated with 2000 ppm auxin develop an abundance of leaves (11), primary roots (9), and secondary roots (12). But in the case of root length (22.33 cm), the highest was found in cuttings which were treated with a 4000 ppm concentration of IBA. IBA was found to be most effective at 4000 ppm for best rooting and good root growth, and at 2000 ppm for healthy leaf growth and to enhance the number of primary and secondary roots in Mulberry.

A laboratory experiment was carried out at the Professor GAF Seed Pathology Centre and Laboratory of Department of Seed Science and Technology, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period of July 2018 to January 2019 to determine the effect of seed sources on quality and health status in some Transplanted Aman rice varieties in Bangladesh. Among the seed sources, the moisture content was recorded from 10.40% to 13.37%. In case of purity analysis of seed pure seed ranged from 39.23g to 39.94g. Germination test of rice seeds was recorded and the percentage of total number of germination ranged from 55.75% to 93.0%, normal seedling (51.50 % to 86.50%), abnormal seedling (4.75 % to 10.75%), fresh ingeminated seed (1.75% to15.0%), hard seed (0.0 % to 11.75%), dead seed (2.75% to 21.25%), respectively. Vigour index in the seed sources ranged from (1255.80 to 2089.86). In dry inspection test apparently healthy seeds (17.74gto 28.92g), spotted seeds (9.8g to 17.34g), deformed seeds (0.36g to 5.58g), discolored seeds (0.34g to 3.40g), inert mater (0.00g to 0.38g), insect damaged seeds (0.00g to 0.24g) and chaffy seeds (0.08 g to 1.14g) were recorded(2.75% to 21.25%), respectively. In the seed health study, seven species of fungi were recorded. In the seed health test Alternaria padwickii (1.25 % to 5.50%), Aspergilus niger (0.0% to 1.75%), Bipolaris oryzae (0.0% to 1.50%), Curvularia lunata (0.00% to 1.0%), Aspergillus flavus (0.00% to 1.25%), Penicillium sp. (0.00% to 1.50%) were recorded, respectively. Most of the farmers were failed to obtain the quality and good health status. In this study, BRRI dhan34 in farmer's seed recorded the highest performance in the seed sources and the lowest performance was recorded in BRRI dhan49 in farmer's seed. Among the seed sources BR22 of BADC seed (T8) performed the best in respect of seed quality and seed health. Vol. 9, No. 2, August 2022: 103-116

The present study aimed to investigate the reproductive biology of Labeobarbus altianalis from River Kuja-Migori basin, Kenya. This fish species is distributed in most water bodies in the Lake Victoria basin and effluent rivers. Labeobarbus altianalis is susceptible to fishing due to aggregation at the river mouths during reproduction seasons. We conducted a study for 18 months with an objective of determining length at 50% sexual maturity, fecundity, gonadosomatic index, egg size, sex ratio and breeding season of L. altianalis. The results showed that breeding of this fish occurred from March to August and September to November coinciding with longer and shorter rain seasons. Fecundity ranged from 1320-2382 eggs (mean 1552 ± 23.3). There was a strong correlation between fecundity and total length (R2 = 0.994). The mean egg diameter was 1.2 ± 0.007 mm. Mean gonado-somatic index was 5.63 ± 0.34 and 2.24 ± 0.21 for females and males respectively. The length at 50% sexual maturity was estimated to be 16.3 cm and 18 cm total length for males and females respectively. There was no significant difference in sex ratio from the hypothetical 1:1 (χ2, p > 0.05). Females had low fecundity and males attain sexual maturity earlier than females. Results from this study provide important information for managing riverine fishery in the Lake Victoria basin. Vol. 9, No. 2, August 2022: 221-228

The consumption of fish is accepted by all ages and social groups. Moreover, fish is rich in both micro, and macro-nutrients and minerals which are suitable for human development. The objectives of the study was to profile the socio-economic characteristics of households in Mopani District Municipality, to describe rural households’ consumption pattern of inland fisheries and, to analyse the factors that influence the consumption of inland fisheries by rural households in the study area. A total of 134 households were interviewed using structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Household Dietary Diversity Score and Binary Logistic model were adopted to achieve these objectives. The results showed that Bass, Tilapia, Catfish and Carp are the most preferred inland fish species by rural households in the study area. However, Tilapia is the dominating fish species preferred by households for weekly consumption purposes. The regression results revealed that age and the gender of the household positively influence the consumption of inland fisheries while, access to inland fisheries’ market has a negative relationship with consumption. To this end, the study concludes that the inclusion of inland fisheries as food by rural households and the availability of markets are necessary for the improvement of a healthy life.

To this end, the study concludes that the inclusion of inland fisheries as food by rural households and the availability of markets are necessary for the improvement of a healthy life. \u0000Vol. 9, No. 2, August 2022: 239-246 ","PeriodicalId":20947,"journal":{"name":"Research in Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80056757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted in agricultural research field at Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh during March 2021 to enhance the production of red amaranth (Amaranthus gangeticus cv: RM) by using urea fertilizer with gibberellic acid. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) comprising four treatments with three replications. The treatment combinations were T0 (Urea 0 kg ha-1 and 0 ppm GA3), T1 (Urea 200 kg ha-1), T2 (60 ppm GA3), T3 (Urea 200 kg ha-1 and 60 ppm GA3), respectively. The growth and yield characters of red amaranth showed significant variation for different treatments of urea and gibberellic acid. The maximum plant height (37.1 cm), leaf number (13.83), leaf breadth (4.8 cm), leaf length (8.0 cm), shoot diameter (0.583 cm), fresh plant weight (9.73 g), dry weight per plant (0.775 g), yield per hectare (15.58 t/ha) were measured from treatment T3 (urea fertilizer + gibberellic acid) at harvest (22 days after sowing). The maximum benefit cost ratio (BCR = 3.653) was recorded from treatment T3 (urea fertilizer + gibberellic acid). Thus, it is concluded that the combined application of urea fertilizer with gibberellic acid would be optimum for short term growth and better yield of red amaranth.

Many small reservoirs in Northern Côte d'Ivoire are used for crop irrigation, livestock rearing or fishing. They generate moderated ichthyological catches for local populations. Thus, strategies for their sustainable exploitation should be put in place. This study was conducted to provide the first data on fishing activity on the Lavononkaha Dam Lake. From June 2020 to July 2021, field studies were undertaken with the objectives of characterising fishing gears used, studying catch composition, and evaluating exploitation parameters of the Oreochromis niloticus stock. Results obtained stated the practice of recreational fishing by 41 anglers. These fishermen used a total of 380 fishing lines, 92.11% of which were single fishing rod. Ten fish species were identified in catches with a particular abundance of Oreochromis niloticus (48.33%). In the fishery, this species has a longevity tmax of 3.7 years and grows towards asymptotic length L∞=24.68 cm at a growth rate K=0.810/year. Despite the high number of fishing gears used, the stock of the species is underexploited (E=0.34) and half of the specimens are caught after reaching sexual maturity. Thus, the possibilities of increasing fishing effort to increase yields of this species exist within certain limits to be specified. Vol. 9, No. 2, August 2022: 229-238

This study focused on cattle urine utilization as bio-fertilizer and bio-pesticide and its effectiveness on boro rice production comparing with chemical fertilizer and chemical pesticides. Three groups were divided into completely randomized design (CRD) to conduct the experiment. No chemical/bio pesticides and/or fertilizers is being applied in the control group (T0).The second group (T1) is being applied by chemical fertilizer and pesticides in recommended dose. The third group (T2) is being applied by cattle urine as biofertilizer and bio-pesticides in calculative dose. The germinated rice plant BINA boro rice (variety 28) was transferred to a well-prepared rice field after 21 days. The rice field was prepared using cow urine as bio fertilizer. The bio fertilizer solution prepared from mixing cow dung with cow urine (1:1) and then the solution was diluted into1: 9 with water. One kg of fresh neem leaves were kept in 10 L (liters) container with cow urine and allowed 28 days for fermentation. Meanwhile, one liter of the solution extracted from neem leaves was mixed with 10L of fresh water in a ratio of 1:10 to produce a bio pesticide. Cow urine as bio-fertilizer was applied one thousand liters per hectare in boro rice production which was repeated every 28 days from transplant to harvest. Bio pesticide was applied one thousand two hundred liters per hectare by nozzle spraying at 15-day intervals from planting to flowering in boro rice production. Likewise the chemical pesticide was being applied at seven-day intervals. Plant height, chlorophyll content, number of the tiller/hill and grain yield was observed as growth and yield parameter respectively. The tallest plant height and chlorophyll content were 76 cm and 46.5 from T2 on day 45 and 30 respectively, but number of effective tiller per hill, the maximum final score was 14 fromT1.For all treatments, the mean production became identical. However, T2 delivered the highest grain yield at 5.85 t/ha. In yield parameter chemical fertilizer and chemical pesticide (T1) and bio fertilizer and biopesticide (T2) group was non-significant, but in pest infestationbio fertilizer and biopesticide (T2) group was lower.
