Abstract: Calf diarrhea remains the major health challenges in cattle herds and is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal calves. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Three Woredas of West Harerghe from October 2022 to March 2023 with the objectives to identify salmonella and E. coli infection in diarrheic calves, to assess associated risk factors for occurrence of calf diarrhea, and to assess the young stock management practices and knowledge gaps of livestock prod...
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to estimate the extent of genetic variability of agronomic traits and their contribution to seed yield. Twelve quantitative characters genotypes of common bean was studied. The experiment was conducted at karramille farmer’s field as randomized complete block design planted in three replications. Results showed that genotypes with more yields were identified as Tinike for maximum seed yield per plants with values of (120g), Awash-melka for seed per p...
Abstract: In the different parts of Ethiopia Carica papaya is widely used for nutritional purpose and traditionally used to treat disease. The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the major secondary compounds of C. papaya and to evaluate antimicrobial properties of its leaf extract against S. aureus and E. coli. The leaf of C. papaya was shade dried, ground to powders, and extracted by using distilled water and ethanol. Total phenolic, alkaloids and terpenoids in the resulting ex...
Abstract: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important legumes and is high in protein, low in fat, and rich in vitamins and dietary fiber. The regular consumption of common bean can reduce coronary heart disease, type II diabetes, and cancer. Assessing the causes and magnitude of variation is the key to success in crop improvement program. This study was therefore conducted to determine the nature and magnitude of genetic variability and association of yield and yield rel...
Abstract: The study was carried out to assess the genetic variability and association Using Morphological Markers among faba bean genotypes. Faba bean have a long tradition of cultivation in old world agriculture, being among the most ancient plants in cultivation and also among the easiest to grow. Utilizing a selection of faba bean that have variation in their morphological attributes. Twelve faba bean genotypes were evaluated in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicati...
Abstract: Pesticides include naturally occurring and man-made substances which are used to control destructive pests such as insects, plant disease organisms, and weeds. Without protection provided by pesticides the average crop loss due to pests and weeds in Ethiopia is estimated to reach 80% percent annually. As a result farmers in Biyo Awale district have been widely using synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides and herbicides in agricultural production to prevent or control ar...
Abstract: Phytopathogenic fungi result in a significant loss in agricultural production. The use of bio fungicides to manage these fungal pathogens has become a more appealing option than using conventional synthetic fungicides since they are relatively environmentally safe. Chitinolytic enzymes are environmentally friendly antifungal agents used to control fungal phytopathogens. Therefore, this study was conducted to extract chitinase enzyme from fungi and determine the fungicidal effect of...
Abstract: Infectious diseases are the critical problems of the world as a result of the emergence of different antimicrobial resistant microorganisms. Medicinal plants play great roles in the treatment of various infectious diseases. Catha edulis, of the Celastraceae family, is a natural stimulant found as a flowering evergreen tree and is widespread in Africa and southern parts of Arabia. Therefore, the aim of the study was to detect the presence of the main secondary compounds classes from...
Abstract: The aims of this study were to evaluate effects of mesophilic starter cultures, camel milk powder (CMP) and microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) on the texture, viscosity, sensory and physicochemical properties of fermented camel milk.The experiment was designed as a full factor experiment with two starter cultures (R-707 and CHN-22), two levels of CMP (with and without) and two levels of MTGase (with and without). The analyses of fermented camel milk weremade for their physicochemi...
Abstract: Safe water and sanitation are fundamental to life and everyone has a right to these basic services. The generation of recent information about both the water quality status and sanitation condition is highly important for intervention. Hence, a descriptive study was conducted to assess the quality of drinking water supplied to the residents of Deder town at the point of water sources, reservoirs, taps water and household containers from June 2020 to January 2021. A survey of 24 wat...
Abstract: Prosopis juliflora has become serious woody weed in the fragile ecosystem of Ethiopia. In Afar Regional State, it has been affecting the livelihood of the community by aggressively and successfully invading the rangeland and outcompeting the indigenous herbaceous species. The aims of this study were to investigate the impacts of P. juliflora invasion on the composition, diversity and biomass production of herbaceous vegetation, on selected soil physico-chemical properties under its...
Abstract: This study was conducted in HU poultry farm with the objective of evaluating and comparing production and reproduction performances, heterosis and combining ability up to the age at first egg laying for pure, straight and reciprocal crosses of Koekoek and White Leghorn poultry breeds. Two pure breeds of chickens namely Koekoek (KK) and White Leghorn (WH) were used in 2×2 diallel crossing experiment by AI mating system. From a total of 172 chickens (12 cocks and 160 hens), 3 cocks ...
Abstract: The study was conducted from November2018to March 2019 in Wondo Genet district of Sidama zone SNNP region Ethiopia, with the objective to assess cattle breeding practices of the communities and evaluate AI after synchronization. The study was conducted using survey and estrus synchronization. The 60 households were participated in the interview. 120 cows and heifers were injected single dose of prostaglandin. All the respondents (100%) have both local and cross breed cows. Milk pro...
Abstract: In Ethiopia, a lot of improved bread wheat varieties have been released; however, the released varieties from different research centers were not tested at Gitilo Dale, Western Ethiopia for their genetic variability and association of traits in bread wheat varieties. In view of this, the study was conducted in Western Ethiopia at Gitlo Dale, Horroo Guduruu Wollega, with the objectives of determining the extent of genetic variability and association of traits with grain yield and th...
Abstract: This study evaluated the performance of five eri (Bere, Cross, EKPR, EKSCR, India) and five mulberry (China-2, Kenya-2, Kenya-3, Kenya-4, Korea-1) silkworm strains and observe the level of diseases incidence on farmer management condition in between March and May 2018, in Arba Minch. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five replications. The study revealed that mature larvae of eri silkworm strains significantly varied on nutritional indices and s...
