ABSTRACT: The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of graded levels of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) gel orally administered in drinking water on the growth and carcass yield of broiler chickens. 180 day-old cobb 500 unsexed broiler chicks were randomly grouped into four of 45 chicks each. A group each was randomly assigned to one of four different levels of aloe vera treatments 0 ml/L (T1), 2 ml/L (T2), 4 ml/L (T3) and 6 ml/L (T4). and replicated three times. The experiment was a completely randomized design. Aloe vera gel was obtained from freshly harvested aloe....

ABSTRACT: Maintaining stable hay for sheep is crucial for sustainable sheep production in Nigeria. This study investigated the replacement values of complete shade dried Senna obtusifolia hay for groundnut hay on the body weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, cost of feed and one linear body measurement of twelve growing Uda sheep. The dried groundnut hay was purchased from Badume market, while the complete Senna obtisifolia hay (leaves, stems and roots) were obtained from the premises of department of agricultural education research farm, Federal College of Education (Technical.....
