Acacia mangium, widely used to rehabilitate degraded mined sites, hasbeen reported to be slow in decomposition. The experiment was carried out to establish the rate of decomposition of Acacia mangiumleaf litter and determine the correlation between the stand age and decomposition rate ofits litter.Litter decomposition rate of Acacia mangium under monoculture plantation was studied using the wire mesh frame technique. Wire mesh frames containing 200g of fresh Acacia mangium leaves were set up in three Acacia mangiumstands of ages five, seven and nine years. Ten wire mesh frames were left in each stand using Completely RandomizedDesign.The decay rate coefficient “k” was used to determine the constant potential weight loss of the dry matter. The value of kwas estimated to be 0.0064, 0.0049 and 0.0039 for the 30 th , 60 th and 90 th days respectively, with overall mean of 0.0050 for all the stands. The Half-life estimated for all the stands was 140 days. Analysis of Variance at 5% significant level indicates significant difference between stand age in weight losses on the 30 th and 60 th daysbut no significant effect between the 60 th and 90 th days of observation; there were differences in the decomposition rate between the Acacia mangium leaf litter on the seven and nine years stands.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of ethanolic leaf extract of Chrysophyllum albidum on hormones and sperm analysis of laboratory rats. Fifteen male rats weighing 230-250g were completely randomised into three groups: A-C. Animals in Group A (control) were orally administered with 0.5ml of distilled water once daily for 21 days while those in Groups B and C, received 500 and 1000mg/kg body weight of the extract respectively), and effect of the treatment on the testes was investigated. Significant increase (p<0.05) were recorded in the body weights and also the weight of the testis. The treatment caused increase in motility, morphology, and number of spermatozoa in cauda epididymidis. Histologically, testes in rats treated with the plant extract showed no alterations in the seminiferous tubules when compared to the control. However hormonal assay showed significantly reduced levels (p<0.05) of FSH, LH and Testosterone in experimental groups while there was increase in the activity of SOD, which was dose dependent. The results thus suggest that C. albidum treatment does not cause suppression of spermatogenesis but decrease the hormonal profile.

The present study was carried out as a first documentation of short horn grasshoppers in the Menoua Division of Cameroon. A total of 1587 specimens were collected from six sites i.e. Dschang (265), Fokoue (253), Fongo – Tongo (267), Nkong – Ni (271), Penka Michel (268) and Santchou (263). Identification of these grasshoppers showed 28 species that included 22 Acrididae and 6 Pyrgomorphidae. The Acrididae belonged to 8 subfamilies (Acridinae, Catantopinae, Cyrtacanthacridinae, Eyprepocnemidinae, Oedipodinae, Oxyinae, Spathosterninae and Tropidopolinae) while the Pyrgomorphidae belonged to only one subfamily (Pyrgomorphinae). The Catantopinae (Acrididae) showed the highest number of species while Oxyinae, Spathosterninae and Tropidopolinae showed only one species each. Ten Acrididae species (Acanthacris ruficornis, Anacatantops sp, Catantops melanostictus, Coryphosima stenoptera, Cyrtacanthacris aeruginosa, Eyprepocnemis noxia, Gastrimargus africanus, Heteropternis sp, Ornithacris turbida, and Trilophidia conturbata ) and one Pyrgomorphidae (Zonocerus variegatus) were collected in all the six sites. Twelve Acrididae and 3 Pyrgomorphidae were collected during the wet and dry seasons. The importance of these grasshoppers in relation to pest activity, necrophagy, entomophagy, and entomotherapy, are discussed.

The study was conducted in Northern Gondar to characterize the village chicken production system under urban condition. A cross sectional type of studies were conducted to collect data from November 2010 to April 2011 using questionnaire survey and a simple random sampling techniques, 100 households were included in the survey. The main production objectives of chicken were income generation, household consumption and replacement of the flock. And most of the activities in chicken rearing were carried out by women. The average flock size was 10.44 chickens with a range of 2-18 birds. Most of the birds rested at night in a separated confined chicken house. Chickens in the study area were getting their major feed resources through scavenging with little supplementary feed provision. The major causes of losses of chicken in the study area were disease (47%), predation (22%) and mismanagement (31%). According to respondents, the common signs of disease frequently occurred in their flock were watery and yellowish diarrhoea, closing of eyes, head hangs down, high level of morbidity, depression, droppings of wings, sneezing or coughing, nasal discharge, twisting of head and neck, loss of appetite and mass death. The average number of eggs laid by local hen was 11.53eggs/hen/clutch and the hatchability percentage observed in this study was 87.29 %, which ranged from 57.1%-100%. The most important constraints of poultry production in the study villages were disease (1 st ), predators (2 nd ), shortage of supplementary feeds (3 rd ), poultry housing problem (4 th ) and lack of veterinary health services (5 th

A survey of thrips on broad bean plants was conducted during 2010-2011 in three sites of Biskra, whitch is an arid province in Algeria. Scouting for thrips was carried out on plants and flowers of three fields from three locations: Sidi-Okba, M`ziraa and El-Outaya. Seven thrips species belonging to six genera were recorded. Melanthrips fuscus, Aeolothrips intermedius, Rhipidothrips gratiosus, Frankiliniella occidentalis, thrips physapus, Thrips angusticeps and Odontothrips loti. The two last species were the most abundant in the three locations. Aeolothrips intermedius was the most abundant species in El-Outaya. Majority of the thrips are cosmopolitan in distribution and recorded as pest species, they can harm broad bean crop. These include Frankliniella occidentalis that may transmit Tospovirus.

A study on the production and utilization of multinutrient blocks using locally available feed resources was conducted at the Adamawa State University, Livestock Teaching and Research Farm Mubi. The cost of production hardness and compactness and utilization were evaluated as feed supplement to cattle and sheep during the dry and wet seasons. Two multinutrient blocks were developed using local ingredients, multinutrient blocks with molasses (MNBM) and multinutrient blocks without molasses (MNBW). The chemical compositions of MNBM were DM (94.5%), CP (12%), CF (16%), EE (8.5%), Ash (9%) and NFE (54.5%). The MNBW contains DM (95.4%), CP (13.5%), CF (18.0%), EE (6.5%), Ash (6%) and NFE (56%). The hardness at 15/30 days after moulding was 3.6kg/cm 2

The field experiment was conducted during the cropping seasons of 2009 and 2010 in Samaru, Zaria, Nigeria to evaluate the effects of various intra-row spaces on the growth and yield of maize intercropped into ginger. The experiment consisted of six treatments laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design and replicated three times. The data collected were subjected to statistical Analysis of Variance and the treatment means were separated using the New Duncan Multiple Range Test at P< 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the intercropped maize irrespective of spacing adopted, were consistently superior to the sole maize crop in dry matter production per plant, height per plant, number of leaves per plant and leave area per plant. The best grain yield of 3.78 tonnes/ha was obtained in maize spaced at 75 x 75 cm. The sole ginger crop gave rhizome yield (14.08 tonnes per hectare) was statistically higher than yields obtained in intercropped treatments. The intercropped treatments had yield advantages over the sole crop with maize Land Equivalent Ratio of 23-79%. Therefore, maize at 75 x 75cm in ginger at 20 x 20cm was recommended as the best intercrop.

The peels of ripe mango (mangnifera indica) fruits were hydrolyzed with 4.5M hydrochloric acid solution and distilled. The distillates were tested for furfural using volumetric, UV/visible and IR spectroscopic methods in addition to other physicochemical parameters. The UV/visible and IR scans and the other tests confirm the presence of furfural. The result also show good yield of furfural. Keywords; Furfural, production, mangnifera indica, hydrolysis.
