Item Lameness and its associated hematological features among Nigerian breeds of goats in Ibadan, Nigeria(Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2020) Olaogun S. C.; Oyetoyinbo T. E.Clinical lameness manifesting in various form is one of the commonest condition often encountered in Nigeria with its adverse socio-economic consequences. A total of 96 lame goats were sampled at the livestock markets, Ibadan, Nigeria. Blood samples were aseptically collected into well labeled heparinized bottles from lame goats with signalment such as breed, age, sex and level of severity classified and recorded appropriately. Blood samples were analyzed by adopting standard hematological procedure (manual counts). Lameness was highest in Red Sokoto goats 79.2% and lowest 8.3% in Crossed bred goats. Majority 66.6% were males and 33.3% were females. Lameness was more in young than adult goats, 2-2½year 41.66% and >4year 20.83%. Significant difference (P≤0.05) observed in the values of lymphocytes between breeds with higher values in crossed breed compared to others. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in the values of RBC and platelet counts between age groups, with lower values of (7.13±0.39 and 3.82±0.2) respectively in adult goats. We therefore conclude that lame cross bred goats appeared more resilient with improved hematological features, significant reduction in RBC and platelet counts should be taken into consideration during management of lameness in adult goats in particular.Item Livestock waste management practices in Oyo state, Nigeria(Sciendo (De Gruyter Poland), 2016) Abiola J. O.; Olaogun S. C.Livestock waste management methods were evaluated in Oyo State where different farms were visited, structured pre-tested and peer-reviewed questionnaires were administered. The results of this study revealed that the use of animal wastes as manure for farmlands or outright dumping in the bushes, garbage sites or open lands were the most common waste disposal methods practiced by commercial poultry and livestock keepers in Oyo State. Out of all the farms sampled, 45% of the farms practiced Open lands waste disposal methods, 10% practiced sun-dried and burned animal wastes disposal methods, 14% practiced flushing wastes into nearby streams and rivers as slurry, 24% used a combination of all the three methods as space or time permits, 2% turn their waste to biogas for cooking or lightening on the farm and 5% use part of the waste as feed source for ruminants or fishes on the farm. The results showed that larger percentage of the farms does not have an environmental friendly animal waste management system and the implication is widespread air, water and land pollutionItem Peste de Petit Ruminants in Oyo State: Current Epidemiology and Clinical Features. 49th(Nigeria Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA), 2012) Lasisi, O.
