ShareThe study is on net revenue determination of beans marketers in Imo state, Nigeria. Specifically, it examines the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, determines the factors influencing the selling price and marketing margin of beans and identifies the marketing constraint for beans in the study area. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed to select eighteen (18) wholesalers and forty-eight (48) retailers. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression models were used to analyze the data collected. Results showed that majority of the beans traders were males, within the age range of 41-50 years, well educated, have high marketing experience, married and belong to trade/cooperative association. The regression analysis shows that the purchase price of beans favored the selling price of wholesale..... ReadMore -

Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed to select twenty- four (24) wholesalers and forty-two (42) retailers. Descriptive statistics, marketing margin analytical technique and Gini coefficient analytical technique were used to analyze the data collected. Results showed that majority of the beans traders were males, within the age range of 31-40 years, literate, married and have acquired marketing experience which ranges from 11-20 years. Beans’ marketing in the study area has two main channels, the major channel starts with the producers (beans farmer) to rural assembler, wholesalers, retailers and final consumer.

ShareThe study was performed to determine the presence of antibiotic residues in 50 random samples of fresh beef marketed at Giza governorate, Egypt. The detection of antibiotics residues was carried out according to methods recommended by Hietzman (1994) (4-plates test) and USDA (2011) (Bioassay test).the obtained results indicated that the incidence of antibiotic residues in the examined samples was 3 samples of amino glycosides, 2 samples of B-Lactams (penicillin), one sample of Ciprofloxacin one sample of oxytetracycline. It was shown that 2% of the samples contain Sulphonamides and Ciprofloxacin, (B-Lactam +Oxytetracyclines), (Sulphonamides + Oxytetracycline), (Sulphonamides plusB-Lactam), (Aminoglycosides plus Ciprofloxacin),(Macrolides plus Ciprofloxacin) (Aminoglycosides plus B-Lactam), (Macrolides plus B-La.....

ShareOne of the major but hidden challenges to livestock development and animal agriculture the world over is resource-use conflicts between crop farmers, pastoralists and other land users. This is so because during conflict situation, almost all human livelihood activities come to a standstill including livestock farming. This study therefore sought to examine how conflicts involving different land users hinder livestock production. Questionnaire and oral interview were used to obtain information from a total of 120 pastoralists in three selected states of Southeast (Abia, Enugu and Imo). Data were analyzed using percentages, mean and standard deviation. The results showed that the mean age of pastoralists was 38, and the mean household size was 10, mean herding experience was 18...... ReadMore

ShareCooking techniques were applied on Mullet fish (Mugil cephalous) steaks. Raw Mullet fish steaks were stored at -180C for 180 days to study the changes in the proximate composition during storage period. The proximate composition of raw Mullet fish was affected by cooking techniques. Moisture contents decreased in fried and grilled mullet steaks while protein, fat and ash contents were significant increase in cooked mullet steaks...... ReadMore

ShareOrganic agriculture is a unique production management system which promotes and enhances agro ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity [1]. Conventional agriculture is characterized by using a great amount of chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, and growth regulators etc., resulting in heavy reliance on non-renewable resources. The present investigation was carried out with the objectives to study the nutrient composition of garlic grown under organic and inorganic conditions. Samples of organically and inorganically grown garlic were procured from the university farm. Proximate Nutrients composition and mineral composition of garlic grown organically and inorganically was studied. The results of the present study revealed that inorganically grown garlic had significantly higher moist..... ReadMore

ShareFolic acid is vitamin B9, which is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in cell growth, production of DNA and replication. This study was aimed to determine the influence of the Trivedi Effect® Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the various physicochemical and thermal properties of folic acid by using the different analytical techniques. The study was done by dividing the folic acid sample into the control and treated parts; in which, no treatment was given to control, while the treated part received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The analysis indicated that the particle sizes of the treated sample were reduced by 3.80% (d10), 5.18% (d50), 6.33% (d90), and 4.79% {D (4,3)}, respectively, which resulted in the increase in surface area by 4.60%.....

ShareCholecalciferol is a steroid hormone (7-dehydroxycholesterol), which helps in the absorption of dietary minerals like zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphate and also responsible for other biological activity. In this research study, the influence of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of cholecalciferol was evaluated using the modern analytical technique. The cholecalciferol test sample was divided into two parts. One of the test samples was considered as a control sample, which did not receive the Biofield Energy Treatment; whereas, the other part was treated with the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a well-known Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak and termed as a treated sample......
