The study examines increasing food production through fertilizer voucher programme (FVP) by farmers in Taraba State, Nigeria. Specifically, the objectives include: ascertain the farming characteristics of the farmers involved in the Fertilizer Voucher Programme; ascertain farmers’ level of productivity as a result of Fertilizer Voucher Programme and assess the satisfaction of farmers participating in the Fertilizer Voucher Programme. The population for the study comprised all farmers that participated/benefited in FVP in the Taraba State, numbering 51,098 smallholder farmers. Multistage sampling technique was used to draw the sample size. In stage one (1), two senatorial zones (Central & Northern) was purposively selected for their relative peace and security. In stage two, 6 LGAs (Bali, Gashaka, Gassol and Ardo- kola, Jalingo, Zing,) respectively were randomly selected, 3 LGAs in each of the senatorial zones of the selected zones. From each of the selected LGA, 2 percent of the beneficiaries were proportionally selected and used to collect the primary data for the study. The 2 percentage were selected from each participating LGA to get a sample size of 335 respondents for the analysis of data. Majority (62.8%) of the respondents were full-time farmers while 37.2% were part- time farmers. Majority (81.8%) of the respondents were practicing their agricultural activities as a business with some quantities of outputs sold for other livelihood needs. Majority (99.7%) of respondents cultivate crops such as maize, rice, cassava and guinea-corn which are major crops in the FVP. The years of farming experience among the respondents indicate majority (51.2%) of the respondents had between 11-20 years, 23.8% spent a range of 21-30 years and 21.7% engaged in farming for between 1-10 years. The participants in the livestock industry in the FVP constituted 38.7%, while 37.59% were into mixed farming. However, 36% of them were involved in post-harvest handling/agro processing activities. Majority (56.8%) of the respondents had farm sizes of between 1-2 hectares, followed by 39.9% of the respondents of the FVP beneficiaries having a size of between 3-4 hectares of cultivable land. The results show that the respondents were satisfied with the followings: prices of fertilizer (M=3.81, SD=0.43), time of arrival of fertilizer (M=3.29, SD=0.69),quality of fertilizers by the suppliers in FVP (M=3.76,SD=0.48), pattern in fertilizer purchase in FVP (M=3.70,SD=0.47), involvement of private supplier (M=3.59, SD=0.55),access to information in the FVP (M=3.69, SD=0.49), transportation of the fertilizer (M=3.49, SD=0.52), role of cooperative associations (M=3.74, SD=0.48) and leadership development among participants (M=3.68,SD=0.49). The study suggested that the number of bags of fertilizer per participating farmer should be increased to between 5 - 8 bags per season as against the 2-4 bags in the FVP. This would make farmers to increase output and income, by implication i

Glutens are the major constituents of bread wheat grain storage proteins and constituting 85% of the total. They are mainly responsible for the processing quality of wheat dough and were among the first proteins isolated and studied by human beings. Different compositions of wheat storage proteins confer different dough physical properties, which are required by different products. Gluten provides dough with unique extensibility and elasticity, which are essential for various wheat products. Gluten is one of the most commonly used proteins in food industry. Its characteristic properties make it an essential ingredient in the preparation of high quality dough, hence it is popular in the baking industry. Some wheat gliadin proteins are strong allergens that can cause various symptoms of food allergies and baker asthma. The most immune reactive ω-5 gliadin fractions are the main allergens in wheat dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis. Apart from their role in dough quality, gluten proteins can affect the health of genetically susceptible individuals. Many gluten proteins contain T-cell stimulatory epitopes that can cause celiac disease. The consumption of gluten proteins can trigger an immune response that damages the small intestine. Therefore, patients with celiac disease (CD) are restricted to a lifelong gluten-free diet

Biogenic amines are decarboxylation products of amino acids and naturally they occur in living organisms and are involved in various biological processes. Nitrogenous compounds such as histamine, tyramine, putrescine, cadaverine, agmatine, spermidine and spermine are called biogenic amines and are found in raw and processed foods. Besides its role in physiological activity in human health, high quantities in food may be hazardous. Consumption of biogenic amines beyond its maximum permissible level could result in nausea, respiratory distress, hot flush, sweating, heart palpitations, headache, bright red rash, burning sensations in the mouth and alterations in blood pressure. In addition to its toxicity, in foods containing abundant amount of protein, the high concentrations of these diamines are indicative for hygienic deficiencies in the postharvest unit operations of agricultural products. Therefore, it is crucial to control the formation of biogenic amines during food processing

Background: Eccentric exercise is a regular part of rehabilitation and sports training and to the unaccustomed, can cause muscle damage that presents as delayed soreness, strength and range of motion loss, swelling, and increased passive stiffness. These symptoms reduce exercise ability and might be harmful if exercise is further continued. In this study, we sought to test the efficacy of a proprietary dietary supplement, Gremin®, contains green coffee bean extract and curcumin in alleviating the severity of muscle damage and injury after standardized eccentric exercise. This study was a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, interventional study. Sixteen healthy, moderately active, non-smoking volunteers with no known musculoskeletal pathology were enrolled. Mean differences within and between groups were assessed inferentially at each data collection point using t-tests for all outcome measures. Results: In this controlled study, the intake of Gremin® for 10 days resulted in a significant reduction in standardized measures of pain and tenderness at several post-eccentric exercise points compared to the placebo group. The Gremin® group had significantly reduced levels of plasma indicators of inflammation (C-reactive protein) and muscle damage (creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase), as well as standardized measures of pain and tenderness at several post-eccentric exercise time points, than the placebo group. Conclusions: Gremin® appears to be beneficial in accelerating the healing of acute muscle injury. Further studies with a larger sample size are warranted based on the current results.

In Nigeria, soil nutrient losses occasioned by inappropriate land uses are negatively impacting on food security for the growing population. The escalating cost of mineral fertilizers has limited the use of the commodity by smallholder farmers who produces most of the food consumed in the country. In this context, the use of organic materials as a soil amendment is critical to optimized crop yield per unit area of land. This experiment examined soil nutrient enhancement using organic NPK® and urea under sesame cultivation in Makurdi, Nigeria. The result from the study showed that, application of organic NPK® improves soil organic matter content and raises soil pH, total Nitrogen, available Phosphorus, and exchangeable cations. Similarly, seed weight of sesame positively correlated with manure and urea. It was deduced that yield obtained by addition of organic NPK® at 400kg/ha was statistically the same with yield obtained from urea at 150 kg/ha. This result implies that organic NPK® is a suitable substitute for fertilizer urea for sustainable cultivation of sesame.

Previous histological studies have confirmed the curing potency of ingested natural honey on both liver and kidney’s cellular structures in mice and other experimental animals. Forty four male Wister rats were divided into four groups, control (G1); honey only (G2); Doxorubicin (DOX) (G3) and DOX with natural honey (G4), respectively. The experiments lasted 7 weeks following subcutaneous administrating 5mg/Kg b.wt./week of DOX and treatment with 1 mL/L honeyed water. Four most common liver enzymes e.g. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) in the blood as well as differential counting of WBC were tested to assess the impact of curing potency of the ingested natural honey via stabilizing the levels of the enzymes. The biochemical assessments have shown curing potency of natural honey against the toxicity impact of DOX on the above liver enzymes. Differential counting of WBC have shown insignificant changes in most WBCs but significant elevation of eosinophil in DOX rats (G3) in comparison with other groups indicating development of allergy. It has been concluded that lower or mild doses of DOX have less toxic effects on the body with a rather better impact of honey. Perhaps regular ingestion of the natural honey could provide a natural remedy on general health e.g. functions of the liver and positive impacts on other chronicle diseases. Further researches are recommended using higher doses of DOX via using other administration methods e.g. intravenous.

This study aimed at evaluating the proximate composition and tannin content of improved and local sorghum varieties grown in the lowland, intermediate and highland agro-ecologies of Ethiopia. Thirty-four sorghum varieties (6 introduced, 19 released and 9 landraces) were collected and prepared for nutrient and anti-nutrient analysis. The result showed that a significant variation was noticed among the varieties for protein, ash, minerals and tannin contents but did not differ significantly for moisture content. Wetet begunchie variety had the highest crude protein (12.74%) and zinc (30.19 mg/Kg) contents. The landrace variety, 2372 showed the highest iron content and significantly varied from others. A range of 1.47 to 3.1% total mineral content was observed with the largest for the released variety, Wetet begunchie and the lowest for the highland sorghum variety, Chelenko. The tannin content of the samples ranged from non-detectable to 46606 mg per Kg, the highest for the landraces.

Volume 4(2): 1-6 Introduction Osteoporotic affects approximately 50 million Indian people either osteoporotic or low bone mass with lower T-scores leads towards depression, dependency, disability and death [1-3]. In middle aged people, men observed with low bone loss but women experiences increased bone loss during pre-menopause and post menopause [4-5]. Unfortunately, 90% of women may not be getting enough calcium and recommended calcium intake for adult women is ranging from 500 to 1500 mg/day [6-7]. The balanced diet associated with vitamins and minerals are important to improve bone health and osteoporosis [8]. A study shows that Indian people had lack of knowledge about bone health and a need for bone health education [9]. So it is major health issue among Indian women due to lack of calcium intake and knowledge. Therefore, current study focuses to prevent osteoporosis, provide structured health education, dietary calcium intake and changes in lifestyle to pre-menopausal women in advance.

The Zambezi River Basin system and wetlands in particular, have a high ecosystem services and economic value to large number to people the study aim was to assess the status of ecosystem services and their benefits in the wetlands of Barotse Flood plains (BFP). The study utilized both secondary and primary data sources. Primary data was collected using interview schedule, key informant’s interviews, Participatory rural appraisal and field observations. Simple random sampling was used to select proportional respondents from 9 district that are found study area. The wetland ecosystem services that were identified in BFP are: Provisioning which include water, fish, wild game, fruits, edible plants, reeds, sedge, pasture, thatching grass, sand and clay soil, and medicinal plants. Regulation; climate regulation (temperature and precipitation), ground water discharge and river flow regulation. Cultural; traditional ceremonies, sacred places and recreation. Support services; soil formation, alluvial and organic matter. The study found that the ecosystem services were affected by socio-ecological factors in the BFP that led to declining of ecosystem services in general. The Pearson coefficient correlation showed that there is a significant relationship of 0.930** at 0.01 level between socio-ecological factors and declined ecosystem services in BFP. The study recommended strategies such as the government, local leadership and other stakeholders to embark on protection and conservation of BFP since it is a recognized and designated Ramsar heritage site. Government also to embark on formulating new policies on ecosystem services management in the wetlands and to fully implement the already existing policies.
