Abstract

The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for animal protein. To ensure optimal growth and productivity of poultry, the formulation and processing of high-quality feed are essential. Feed pelleting is a common method employed to enhance the nutritional value, digestibility, and handling characteristics of poultry feed. The machine which meant for the production of poultry feed pellets in good quantities, was designed, fabricated and its performance evaluation was carried out accordingly. The independent dual operated Poultry Feed Pelleting Machine permits constant production line since the prime mover (diesel engine) would be plunged into operation as at when due, that is, when electricity power supply failed. The materials used were locally sourced which included; mild steel, high carbon steel, aluminum, 3hp electric motor, prime mover and axle. The base materials are corn, soybean, wheat, rice bran, wheat bran, herbs, fish meal, groundnut cake etc. The machine functioned reliably at the throughput capacity of 95kg per hour and up to 800kg per day with 95% efficiency proved its high performing rate. Moreover, the study showed that useful information in designing pelleting machine that produced pellet optimally when the appropriate moisture condition for feed materials is considered ranging from 20% - 30% with temperature range of 500C-700C. The results indicate that the developed machine offers significant advantages in terms of pellet quality, production efficiency, and energy consumption compared to conventional pelleting methods. The developed machine is recommended to facilitate the production of poultry feed pellets for small scale and medium scale farmers.

Abstract

The Malagasy population generally consumes rice with "laoka" as a side dish. A diet that has become an atypical practice, a lifestyle well structured around the very common foods for typical Malagasy dishes. A nutritional analysis enabled us to determine their nutritional composition, and thus the energy intake that these foods can contribute to the proper functioning of the human metabolism for good health. A survey to assess the weekly consumption frequency of leafy vegetables by Tananarivians was carried out in 1,280 households. The constituent elements were then determined using TXRF for each elemental constituent of the solid samples. The macronutrient contents obtained from the analyses of these samples were used to determine overall energy values. Analysis of the extracts showed that most of them contained flavonoids and phenolic compounds respectively. Based on these results, Anatsinahy (Bidens pilosa) was found to be the most lipid-rich of the other brede species. Anamamy (Solanum nigrum) (38.88%) and Anandrano (Nasturtium officinale) (34.28%) are recommended for their high protein content. The carbohydrate content, ranging from 20.85% for Bidens pilosa to 52.69% for leaves of Ypomeas Batatas, could contribute to the nutrition, food security, and health of resource-poor people. The presence of these secondary metabolites in leafy vegetables may explain the particular pharmacological virtues of some of them, such as the alterative, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, and styptic properties of Bidens pilosa, and the anesthetic, diuretic, digestive, sialagogue, antiasthmatic and antiscorbutic properties of Spilanthes acmella Murr. The presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids reported in this study may induce antidiarrheal activity.

Abstract

The study delves into the critical topic of dietary habits and alcohol consumption patterns among the elderly in Ugheli, Delta State, Nigeria. This investigation aims to shed light on the health implications of low vegetable consumption and local gin intake within this aging population. The research addresses the pressing issue of the health and well-being of the elderly in Ugheli, Delta State. Specifically, it focuses on two critical problems: low vegetable consumption and excessive local gin consumption. These issues are of concern due to their potential adverse effects on the health of older adults. Local gin consumption may stem from cultural practices and limited understanding of its health risks. To address these problems, a survey research approach was employed. The sample size included 375 retirees from various communities within Ugheli. This sample size was determined using a stratified non-proportional sampling method. The research findings revealed that low vegetable consumption was associated with health risks such as weight gain, digestive problems, goiter, increased cancer risk, and various chronic conditions. Local gin consumption among the elderly was linked to poor coordination, central nervous system depression, excessive appetite, excessive urination, and low blood glucose levels. This research carries significant implications for the elderly population in Ugheli, Delta State. By highlighting the health risks associated with low vegetable consumption and excessive local gin intake, it underscores the need for tailored interventions, education programs, improved access to fresh produce, and cultural sensitivity in healthcare approaches. Ultimately, this study aims to improve the overall health and quality of life of older adults in the region.

Abstract

In this paper, a SEIR epidemic model is considered; where individuals in the population are assigned to different compartments of SEIR defined with respect to epidemic status of Covid-19 in Nigeria. The article has demonstrated a simple mathematical model for the transmission of Covid-19 disease taking into account loss of human immunity with the aim that this model proves useful in controlling the possibility of a person contracting Covid-19 twice. When the basic reproduction number means that the Covid-19 free equilibrium solution is locally asymptotically stable. This suggests that the number of new cases of the disease will decrease over time and eventually will vanish as that whcih causes are established. The basic reproduction number and the model analysis (local stability of disease-free equilibrium and disease-endemic equilibrium) of the system were calculated and the stability of the SEIR model was checked.

Abstract

This study delves into the critical realm of the health implications of meal skipping among the elderly and delineates strategies for the enhancement of healthy food consumption within the unique context of Ugheli, Delta State. As the elderly populace plays an indispensable role in shaping the social, cultural, and familial tapestry of any community, understanding the dietary habits and their impacts on health becomes paramount. The research design comprises both experimental and survey methods, integrating dietary experiments with comprehensive questionnaires. Ugheli, a culturally diverse city in Delta State, Nigeria, forms the geographical scope of this study. The population encompasses 19,235 pensioners, representing a significant segment of the community. Three hundred and sixty-eight respondents, including retirees and health professionals, participated in the study, yielding a response rate of 98%. The findings highlight a pressing concern: a substantial proportion of the elderly in Ugheli grapples with undernutrition, particularly among females. Moreover, meal skipping among the elderly yields a host of adverse health effects, including metabolic disruptions, weight gain, elevated blood pressure, and impaired cognitive function. To mitigate these issues, the study posits evidence-based strategies for bolstering healthy food consumption. These strategies encompass discouraging meal skipping, promoting whole-grain intake, encouraging food fortification, and reducing excessive carbohydrate consumption. Notably, consensus prevails among both male and female respondents and health professionals regarding the significance of these strategies. The implications extend to public health policies and community development in Ugheli, Delta State.
