- Abstract:
- ... Aquaculture production has grown rapidly in Nigeria but with unbridled use of antibiotics which predisposes fish consumers to the risks of antimicrobial residues and resistance. A cross sectional survey of antimicrobial use in aquaculture and occurrence of their residues in African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) samples from Southwestern states of Nigeria were carried out. The results showed that ma ...

About 50.6% of anthrax cases and 33.3% of deaths of livestock have been reported from Wag-Himra Zone, where appropriate anthrax prevention practices are not implemented by the owners of the animals. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the extent of appropriate anthrax prevention practi ...

INTRODUCTION: Previous longitudinal studies indicate that physical activity (PA) significantly declines from primary-to secondary school, and report both changes in individual and environmental determinants of PA. In order to understand this transition and to prevent this negative trend, it is important to gather contextually rich data on possible mechanisms that drive this decline. Therefore, the ...
