Abstract:
Samples of five (5) selected heavily browsed plants harvested at
Gongoshi grazing reserve in Mayo-Belwa local Government area of
Adamawa State, were evaluated with respect to their proximate
composition. These samples were randomly collected in the study
area and identified by pastoralists, range manager and at the
Department of Animal Production, Adamawa State University, Mubi.
The parameters measured included dry matter (DM), crude fibre
(CF), crude protein (CP), Ash (minerals), nitrogen free extract
(NFE), ether extract and carbohydrate (CHO). Also evaluated
minerals elements such as calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), potassium
(K), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and magnesium (mg). It was found
that the dry matter content ranged between 78.28% – 91.66%,
crude fibre (18.36 – 44.84%), crude protein (7.56 – 17.48%),
Nitrogen free extract (10.20 – 21.72%), Ether Extract (3.96 –
9.35%), Ash (4.03 –15.08%) and carbohydrate (28.68 – 52.45%).
Minerals elements ranged from 0.79% – 25.65% for calcium, sodium
(0.30 – 4.21%), potassium (0.44 – 1.35%), phosphorus (0.42 –
6.25%), iron (12.25 – 41.40%), copper (4.70 – 9.65%), magnesium
(0.30 – 8.43%). The result obtained was used to determine the
suitability of the analysed browse species for ruminant animal
production. The study also revealed that nutrient contents in
samples vary in composition, which may be due to differences in
plant species, stage of maturity, soil type, seasonal variation
and the topography of the land. Feeding trials using ruminant
animals is recommended in order to fully ascertain the inclusion
values of these browsed plants in the diets of animals.

Abstract:
The magmatic rocks of Gabal Elba area comprise metavolcanics
related to early orogenic stage, tonalite, granodiorite and
monzogranite related to syn to late orogenic stage and rhyolite
porphery, gabbro, alkali granite, syeniteand quartz syenite
(Elba ring complex), related to
post orogenic stage.
The metavolcanics mainly have theolitic affinity, indicating
island arc regime. The tonalite, granodiorite and monzogranite
have calc-alkaline affinity indicating continental arc regime.
The rhyolite porphery, gabbro, alkali granite, syenite and
quartz syenite show theolitic affinity for gabbro and alkaline
affinity for rhyolite porphery, alkali granite, syenite and
quartz syenite, indicating bimodal magma, developed within
continental plate and rifting regime to form Elba ring complex.

Abstract:
This
cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2011 to April
2012 to determine the prevalence, associated risk factors and
economic importance of bovine cysticercosis in cattle
slaughtered at Kombolcha ELFORA abattoir, North Eastern
Ethiopia. A total of 1201 cattle slaughtered were examined
during the study period and an overall (61/1201, 5.07%)
prevalence was recorded.
A retrospective study
was also conducted to evaluate the significance of cysticercosis
in the study area. A four year (2007 to 2010) abattoir data
analysis in the study area showed that the prevalence of
Cysticercus bovis range varied from 6.2% to 13.2%. Sex and
ecological origins of cattle did not show significant
association (P>0.05) with presence of cysts.
Liver was found to be the most affected organ of
cysticercosis 32(52.45%) followed by masseter muscle 9(14.75%),
tongue 8(13.11%), thigh muscles 6(9.88%), heart 6(9.83%),
shoulder 3(4.91%) and diaphragm 2(3.27%). Out of 218 cysts
collected from different organs and tested for viability, 100
(45.87%) were found to be viable and out of this liver was
harbor a proportionally higher (26.60%) rate of viable cysts.
Considering the current study Cysticercus bovis infection is a
widespread occurrence in cattle slaughtered at Kombolcha ELFORA
abattoir. To conclude, the impact
of cysticercosis necessitates serious attention in order to
safeguard the public health and economy of the country; to
reduce the transmission of Cysticercus bovis, strategic actions
aiming at public education to avoid consumption of raw meat,
improved standards of human hygiene and
strict routine meat inspection should be considered.

Abstract:
A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to November
2009 to determine the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis,
identify the dominant species of trypanosomes and associated
risk factors in Dibate woreda of the Benishangul-Gumz Regional
State, Western Ethiopia using buffy coat technique. An overall
prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis in the study area was 4.9%.
The prevalence of the disease in male and female cattle was
found to be 6.7% and 3.7% respectively. Prevalence of 2.5%, 9.5%
and 4.9% was recorded in Dibate 01, Dibate 02 and Zighi, kebeles
respectively. Regarding to age, 4.5%, 3.7% and 5.4% prevalence
was registered in animals less than three years, three to six
years, and greater than six years of age respectively. Coat
color of study animals was also considered as a risk factor and
10%, 3.5% and 5.4% prevalence was recorded in white, red and
black colored cattle respectively. The prevailing species of
trypanosomes in the study area were T. congoleanse, T.
vaivax, and T. brucei with respective prevalence of
41.7%, 33.3% and 25% respectively. The present finding revealed
that trypanosomosis was one of the constraints of livestock
production and productivity in the study area signaling the need
for strategic and integrated approach to mitigate the impact of
the disease and further epidemiological study will be conducted
to assess the real impact of the disease on livestock production
and productivity in the study area.

Abstract:
Sheep are among the most efficient of all the domestic animals
and have been for thousands of years. There were around 1.1
billion sheep in the world producing approximately 13 million
tons of sheep meat. Ethiopia has around 25 million sheep and
they may be grouped into about 14 traditional sheep populations.
Sheep production is considered to be advantageous compared to
other class of livestock production, due to their high
fertility, short generation interval, adaptation in harsh
environment and their ability to produce in limited feed
resource they are considered as investment and insurance. Sheep
have multipurpose functions providing meat, manure and as source
of income. In the subsistence sector farmers and pastoralists
depend on sheep and goats for much of their livelihood.
Strategies for genetic improvement of livestock mainly involve
the decision on the use of the variation between breeds
(cross-breeding) and within a breed (pure breeding). Sheep
crossbreeding program has been started with the aim to increase
productivity (meat, wool, and milk) of medium sized indigenous
by crossing to exotic breeds. Classified sheep breeds of
different region based on agro-ecology and morphological
characteristics include Farta, Tikur, Menz, Wollo, Shewa/Legegora,
Sekota/Abergele sheep; Afar sheep; Agew/Dangla sheep, Wegera
sheep, Semien sheep; Gumuz/Shankila sheep, Bonga, Adilo, Arsi,
Horro, and black head somali sheep. Good reproductive
performance is a prerequisite for any successful genetic
improvement and it determines production efficiency. In Ethiopia
the traditional smallholder management system the majority of
people in the highlands keep small flocks and practice mixed
crop-livestock agriculture which provide cash income, meat,
manure, skins, whereas those in the sub moist, cold, very high
altitude areas and in arid lowlands keep large flocks in
pastoral production system. A number of constraints which
obstacle for sheep production and genetic improvement programme
are Disease, limited market access and information, feed
shortage/frequent drought and water shortage are among the main
sheep production constraints in the country.

Abstract:-A
cross-sectional study was conducted commencing October 2014 to
April 2015 in and around Gondar town, Amhara National Regional
State, Northwest Ethiopia, with the objective of assessing the
prevalence and associated risk factors of mange mite in cattle.
Both clinical and laboratory examinations of samples from skin
were carried out and a simple random sampling technique was used
to select the study animals. A total of 384 cattle of all age,
sex and breed were examined and in a cattle having skin lesion
sample of skin scrapings were taken. SPSS version 20 was used
for data analysis and Chi square test was used to observe
association of different risk factors with the occurrence of
mange mite infestation. Out of 384 cattle’s examined 34 (8.9%)
animals were found positive for mange mites. Among the total of
34 positive cattle for mange mite, the two mite genera was
detected. Of these, Demodex, 21(5.5%) followed by sarcoptes
13(3.4%) of total cattle examined for mange mites. Analysis of
the potential risk factors has revealed that there was no
statistically significant difference (P>0.05) between breeds,
management and age of animals for the occurrence of mange mites.
However, there was a significant association (P< 0.05) between
sex and body condition of animal with mange mites. Generally the
mite infestation causes considerable economic loss in livestock
production. Further investigations
should be conducted in order to know detail information about
bovine mange mites in the study area, so as to put appropriate
control and prevention measures.

Abstract:
Equidae is the mammalian family comprising the single genus
equus consisting of domestic and feral horse, donkey, mule and
zebra. An estimated 60 percent of the world’s horse population
and over 95 per cent of all donkeys and mules are found in
developing countries. These equidae are suffering from different
diseases. Among the diseases affecting equine, ocular disease is
very common. Ocular disease is a frequent problem in working
equidae in developing countries. One of the most common eye
conditions seen in equine, especially during the summer months,
is conjunctivitis. Equine corneal ulceration is also common in
horses and it is a sight-threatening disease requiring early
Clinical diagnosis, laboratory confirmation, and appropriate
medical and surgical therapy. Ocular manifestations of
leptospirosis appear in the form of equine recurrent uveitis.
Toxoplasma Gondi is a protozoan parasite that can infect horses
although clinical disease is rare. Equine herpes viruses have
been repeatedly isolated from eyes of horses suffering from
certain forms of keratitis or kerato-conjunctivitis. Although
they are the viruses most often considered as being the
causative agent of corneal disease; adenoviruses, and other
viruses have also been incriminated. Trauma is a relatively
common cause of eye disease in the equine and the cornea is the
most common location for eye injuries. A wide variety of tumors
have been identified in the orbit ofequine. Tumors in the orbit
itself are a serious diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. There
are few published studies investigating ocular disease in
Ethiopian horses. Wounds and ocular injuries were the most
frequently recorded health concerns. It is very important to
understand how the eye functions and the importance of good
husbandry. Advising the owner on early recognition of ocular
changes and good eye management is an important responsibility
as a veterinarian.

Abstract:
A cross-sectional
study was conducted in Dera district, South Gondar zone, from
December, 2016 to April, 2017 to estimate prevalence and
identify the major genera of ixodid ticks of cattle and to
explore common control practices against ticks. From the total
of 384 cattle examined, 171(44.5%) were found to be infested
with one or more genera of ticks. A total of 434 adult ticks
were collected from half body part of each infested cattle. Four
genera of ticks such as Amblyomma (38.0%), Hyalomma
(20.7%), Rhipicephalus (24.9%), and Rhipicephalus
(Boophilus) (16.4%) were identified. The lower parts of the
body (belly, perineum, scrotum and udder) were highly infested
by all genera of ticks, but majority from ears and legs were
Rhipicephalus and Hyalomma respectively. Body
condition and management systems showed a statistical
significant difference (p<0.05) for the prevalence of ticks.
Poor body conditioned cattle were highly tick infested (55.1%)
than medium (40.7%) and good (35.7%) body conditioned. Cattle
managed extensively were very highly tick infested than those
semi-intensively managed that had the prevalence of 53.8% and
29.2% respectively. Other variables like sex, age and breed did
not show a statistical significant difference (p>0.05) in the
present study. Questionnaire survey was employed concerning
control practices. In the survey, the entire respondents
observed tick infestation. They practiced one or more
measurement (s) to control ticks, but most of the livestock
owners (65.7%) removed ticks manually (de-ticking). Modern
acaricides and medicinal plants were also used. In conclusion,
the prevalent ticks could be responsible in inducing direct and
indirect impacts in the study area. Therefore, addressing the
veterinary services, studying on seasonal dynamics of ticks and
evaluating the traditional remedies should be implemented and
encouraged.

Abstract:
This study was conducted in Assosa town of the Benishangul Gumuz
Regional state Western Ethiopia from November 2014 to April 2015
to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices on rabies and
related factors among the community of the town by using
Community
based cross-sectional quantitative study design. All kebeles of
the town were selected purposively for this study since the
kebeles were few in number and can be assessed. Individual
household was selected using a systematic random sampling
technique. From the selected household, individual respondent
was selected using simple random sampling technique and
interviewed. During the interview respondents aged greater than
eighteen years and households who live at least for one year in
the town was considered.
The data were collected from 360 households through face to face
interview using pre-tested and structured questionnaires. Of the
360 respondents interviewed, 168(46.7%) and 192 (53.3%) were
males females respectively. Almost all of the respondents
indicated that they had previously heard about rabies and 254
(70.6%) had good level of knowledge, attitudes and practices
about rabies. There was strong association between knowledge,
attitudes and practices scores of rabies and sex (χ2=5.885,
p=0.020); educational level (χ2=1.022, p=0.000);
occupation (χ2=72.024, P=0.000) and household size (χ2=11.136,
p=0.004). Generally these findings indicated that the Assosa
town community has good knowledge about rabies. Therefore,
information source like radio, television programmes and news
papers should play significance role to raise knowledge of the
community about the deadly nature of rabies, on mode of
transmission, symptoms and the availability of appropriate
preventive measure like vaccines for dogs.

Abstract: Background:
There is sufficient evidence that the apo
B-100 and apo A-I are as accurate indicators in the
prediction of atherosclerotic vascular
disease in the diabetic patients. EPA has the antioxidant,
antiinflammatory, antithrombogenic, and antiarteriosclerotic
properties. Therefore, we investigated the effect of EPA
supplementation on the serum levels of apo B-100, apo A-I and
apo B-100/apo A-I ratio in the diabetic patients.
Methods:
This study was designed as a randomized, double-blind, and
placebo-controlled clinical trial. Thirty six patients with type
2 diabetes were given written; informed consent, randomly were
classified into 2 groups. They were supplemented with 2 g/day of
the capsules of EPA or placebo. Blood sample for measurement of
the serum levels of apolipoproteins and lipids, as well as FBS
and HbA1c were
given.
Results:
There were no significant differences between the two groups
regarding any demographic, clinical
or biochemical data, total energy intake, and macronutrient
intake at the baseline, and during the intervention,
except for a
significant increase of HDL-c and apo A-I, and a
significant decrease in the serum levels of apo B-100 and
apo B-100/apo A-I ratio, as well as a slight reduce of TC, LDL-c,
TG and FBS in the supplement group. Conclusions: EPA is
atheroprotective via increase in the serum levels of apo A-I,
and decrease in the serum levels of apo B-100 and apo B-100/apo
A-I ratio, as well as change in the serum levels of lipids, and
FBS.
