Published: September 2022

We examined the performance of sweet potatoes production in Anambra State, Nigeria. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques, SWOT analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The finding confirmed sweet potato production as a source of livelihood engaged by mostly educated married farmers, with average age of 40 years, farming experience of 4 years and average farm size of 3.6 plots. Personal saving was their main source of capital, while an average of 9.5bags/plot of sweet potatoes were harvested. The selling price was N3,240.75/bag, average total cost was ₦11,218.70/plot, average total revenue was ₦30,800/plot, Net farm income was ₦19,581.30/plot while the return on investment was ₦1.75. The strengths of sweet potatoes farming included high yield, adaptability, availability of planting materials and market, while the weaknesses were lack of information, its sweet nature, and low price at harvest. The opportunities included sweet potatoes awareness creation, taking advantage of the diversified uses/varieties of sweet potatoes, and commercialization. The potential threats were its perishable nature, consumer perception, lack of financial support, and possibility of consumers changing their taste. Marital status, farming experience, quantity harvested, and selling price had positive effect on farmers’ net income while total cost of production impacted it negatively. Lack of improved variety, and high cost of labour, were some constraints identified. The study concluded that Sweet potato farming is profitable and recommended that more awareness on its nutritional value, diversified uses, commercialization and varieties should be created by relevant bodies. Also, farmers should be supported financially and encouraged to expand their scale of production since sweet potato production is profitable.

Published: September 2022

This study investigated the effect of bio fermented mango peel meal (FMPM) on lipid metabolism – related gene expression in liver tissues and abdominal adipose tissue in weaned rabbits. Twenty (20) weaned New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to four dietary groups with five (5) rabbits in each group in a completely randomized design experiment. The diets had a control(G1) supplemented with unfermented mango seed meal, an experiment diet of mango peel fermented by either of P. ostreatus, (G2) and P. rivulosis (G3) and combinations of P. ostreatus plus P. rivulosis  50:50 (G4).The results showed that FMPM supplementation down regulated the mRNA expression of fatty acid synthesis (FAS) and acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) in liver tissues and the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression in abdominal fat tissues (P< 0.05). The mRNA expression of perixisomeproliferators activated receptor - alpha (PPAR-α) compared to control group, was up regulated in the livers of rabbits on fermented diets (P<0.05). However gene expressions of PPAR-γ and L-FABP liver fatty acid binding protein were not altered (P> 0.05) in rabbits fed FMPM supplemented diets. These findings indicated that FMPM regulated lipid metabolism by either increasing or decreasing the expression of lipogenic genes and altering multiple pathways in the liver. This information provided new essential information and demonstrated great potential inherent in nutrigenomics in researching nutrients added to livestock diets.

Authors: SANI A , Ibrahim Umar , IBRAHIM S
Published: September 2022

Nigeria has been characterized with shortage quantity in rice production due to inefficiency in the utilization of the available resources and post-harvest losses which account for about 20-25% of total production annually. This study was undertaken to examine the technical efficiency and post-harvest losses of rice farmers in MRVIS. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to sample 98 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaire and then analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression model and Data Envelopment Analysis. The findings show that 73.4% of the farmers were within the age of 30-57. Similarly, farming was a male dominated enterprise with 93.0%. The farmers had a mean of 20 years in rice farming. The estimation of post-harvest losses confirmed that a total of 575kg/ha (8.44%) of total production was lost from harvesting to storage. There was ineffective utilization of production resources as the farmers could not achieve the optimal technical efficiency in rice farming. The regression analysis shows that harvesting, farm size, level of education and farming experience were the determinants of rice post-harvest losses in the area. It was recommended that Government should adequately install modern techniques for rice farming in MRVIS.

Published: September 2022

A study was carried out to investigate composition and diversity of the soil microbial communities in rubber plantations of different ages. Soil samples were collected from five different plantations aged 10, 13, 18, 23, 28 years old (latitudes 6º9ʹ27.08, 6º9ʹ27.78, 6º9ʹ20.59, 6º9ʹ28.21, 6º9ʹ27.60 (E) and longitude 5º35ʹ49.61, 5º36ʹ38.13, 5º35ʹ27.95, 5º36ʹ11.37, 5º37ʹ12.50 (N) respectively) at Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria, Iyanomo, Benin City. The laboratory experiment was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture main laboratory and the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Bioscience Centre. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. The results showed changes in soil microbial diversity and composition over the different ages of rubber tree plantations. The ages of the rubber tree plantations had no significant effect on the microbial populations as it varied irrespective of the ages. The soil microbial diversity tend to increase with increasing rubber tree plantation ages and were highest in 28  year-old whereas 13 and 18 year-old  had the lowest values of diversity. Microbial activity increased with increasing rubber ages with the highest being at 28 year old (73.2 µg/g Soil). The diversity of the soil microbes increased with the increase in diversity of the vegetation. Soil microbial diversity and composition in the different stages were closely related with soil properties. Soils with lower pH values of 4.0 and 4.1 had less diversed microbial communities than others.

Published: September 2022

The study was carried out to determine the profitability and technical efficiency of broiler production in North-central, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was employed in the selection of 156 respondents. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, budget technique and Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production model. The result of the study reveals that the average age of a broiler farmer in the study area was 43 years with a minimum of secondary school education, 10 years of experience in broiler production and an average family size was 7 members. With an average stock of 396 birds, the gross revenue was ₦ 1,766,578, the total cost was ₦1,660,254, and gross margin recorded was ₦106,324. The estimate of the production model revealed that initial stock, feeds, and medication were the significant inputs that influenced the production of broilers. The technical efficiency estimates of the broiler farmers ranged from 78% and 100% with a mean technical efficiency of 92.5%. The high cost of feeds, which constituted 76% of the total variable cost, was identified as the major constraint to broiler production. It is therefore recommended that initiatives that could drastically reduce market price of feeds should be implemented by relevant agencies of governments and NGOs.

Authors: ATUSA K
Published: September 2022

A study was conducted to investigate the viability of Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam) seed stored in various storage media, which include, earthen container, plastic container, tin container, gunny bag and some spread on the ground under a shade without a storage medium (control) as levels treatments in the first factor, while the second factor was duration of seed in the storage media before sowing, which include; 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. The total of five hundred  500) seeds were sown. Every two weeks interval, twenty seeds were taken from storage medium and planted on seed beds. The seedling emergence count was collected at every fourth week after sowing. The result showed that 80 % of seeds sown emerged from seeds stored for four weeks. With exception of control, there was no significant difference on seedling emergence percentage of seeds stored for 2, 6 and 8 weeks. Plant height, number of leaves and girth of plant followed the same trends as seeds emergence count. The result of storage media revealed that earthen container was better than others in all the perimeters measured. This study has shown that Moringa seeds need to be stored for four weeks after harvest in an earthen container for better seedling emergence and growth. It is therefore, recommended that seeds of Moringa should be stored for four weeks in earthen container before sowing.

Published: September 2022

The study assessed factors influencing adoption of improved cassava processing technologies: a case of cassava - garri processing among rural women in Vandeikya Local Government Area of Benue state, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 160 respondents for the study. Primary data were collected with the use of structured questionnaire instrument and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The result revealed that the mean age of the farmers was 39 years with majority (94%) of them married. The result further showed that more than half (53%) had primary education with a mean household size of 9 persons and mean garri processing experience of 10 years. The mean annual income of the women was N90953 with majority (82%) not belonging to any cooperative society. The result further showed that only 18% of the respondents have had visits from the extension agents in the last two years and only 16% of the respondents accessed credit for their processing enterprise.  Mechanical grater had the highest adoption level of 88% followed by the screw press (54%). This level of adoption can be regarded as low. Age (-.0489), years of processing experience (.0581), membership of cooperative society (.0588) and annual income (.3359) of processors  were the factors that influenced farmers’ adoption of improved garri processing technologies in the study area. The major constraints to adoption of improved garri processing technologies were high cost of technology (83%), lack of awareness of some technologies (61%), lack of credit facilities (34%). The study recommends subsidization of these improved technologies so that processors could afford to purchase and make use of them. Awareness creation on the existence and importance of these technologies should be strengthened among cassava processors to enhance more adoption of the technologies.

Authors: Adomi Abraham Adaighofua , UMAR U. W
Published: September 2022

This study was conducted in Wudil Local Government Area of Kano State to comparatively analyze the marketing of goats and sheep in the area, with Wudil Livestock Market being purposively chosen for the study.  A total of 85 marketers (50 goat and 35 sheep marketers) were proportionally and randomly selected for the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, marketing margin and Gini Coefficient. Findings revealed that all the marketers were males with 84% goat marketers and 66% sheep marketers being married. Profitability analysis revealed that sheep marketing had a higher profit of  N2,028.5 than goat marketing with N1,307.5 profit. Conversely, goat marketing had a higher marketing efficiency of 115.8% while sheep marketing had 111.5%. The study therefore, revealed that though both goat and sheep marketing are profitable and efficient in the study area, sheep marketing requires higher initial capital outlay of N16,900 than goat marketing with N7,650. Similarly, with Gini Coefficients of 0.72 and 0.64 for goat and sheep markets respectively, both markets exhibit perfect inequality with an indication of unequal distribution of market share among the marketers. Common constraints faced by the two sets of marketers include high cost of transportation, inadequate capital, poor market infrastructure, as well as multiple market charges. It is therefore, recommended that since the two ventures are profitable and efficient, youths should be encouraged to go into them by the government by empowering them with initial start-up capital and provide good infrastructure in the market.

Authors: OMOREGIE O , AZIKEN G.O.
Published: September 2022

Information and communication technology (ICT) is a major instrument of communication with implications for innovation adoption among farming households. This paper examines the utilization of ICTs in obtaining innovation information among cassava farmers in Aniocha LGA of Delta State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics, identify the ICT accessed ,determine the extent of use of the ICTs and estimate the factors limiting the access and usage of ICT by  cassava farmers in the study area. Data were collected from 120 farmers using multi-stage sampling procedure. Analysis of the data was done using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The findings showed that majority (79.2 %) of the respondents were female and married (67.5%). The major ICT used by the farmers were radio and mobile phones. Major factors limiting the farmers use of ICT included lack of technical know-how (x̄ = 3.54), high cost of modern ICTs (x̄= 3.41), inadequate training (x̄= 3.38) and lack of awareness (x̄ = 3.21). Correlation results showed a significant association between the age (r = -0.466**), level of educational (r = 0.363**) and family size (r = -0.535**) of respondents and their utilization of ICT gadgets. To increase cassava production and enhanced food security, the farmers should be encouraged to use ICT to source for innovation information. Also, modern ICT gadgets should be made available to cassava farmers at affordable prices and cassava farmers should be encouraged and trained in the use of available ICT gadgets to obtain valuable agricultural innovation information.

Authors: IDRIS I.A.
Published: September 2022

A 43 weeks-old non-descriptive Nigerian indigenous hen was presented with a primary complaint of straining, swelled abdomen and anorexia for twelve hours (i.e. between 8.00am to 7.00pm). The client also reported that the bird was raised under free-range scavenging system, and the bird was fed occasionally only on grains, left-over feed and water in addition to what it has gotten from scavenging. Upon physical examinations egg bounding was detected and body weight 1.4kg. The bird also appeared dull and depressed. The egg was removed carefully through cloacal opening followed by lubricating the cloacal area through the vent with mineral oil in order to keep moist. The egg was found to be large and was a normal shelled egg. Post-operative, anti-biotic (Oxytetracycline hydrochloride 5.5% w/v injection, i.m) was given at 0.25ml/kg body weight for every twenty four hours for two days along with oral calcium supplement (calcium gluconate 23%) once at 0.2ml per pound of body weight, which is 100mg/kg. The bird recovered unchanged and with no complications. The client was advised to provide adequate nutritional supplement such as calcium and mineral and good management practices, the farmer was also advised to present any suspected sick birds quickly for instance medical treatment.

Published: September 2022

This study examined the variability of five relevant rainfall characteristics: annual rainfall total, number of rainy days, length of the growing season, onset dates and cessation dates of rainfall, and their implications on Yam production in Makurdi and Gboko Benue State, Nigeria. Daily rainfall data from 1980 to 2015 was obtained from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Makurdi, and Agro-Meteorological Station Yandev, Gboko, while yam production data from 1986 to 2011 was obtained from Benue State Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (BNARDA), Makurdi. The data were analyzed using trend, correlation, and regression analyses. In both Gboko and Makurdi, the results showed a variation and fluctuating tendency in rainfall characteristics of different degrees over time and space with the anomaly tilted toward a negative pattern. On the other hand, the results of the correlation and regression analyses between rainfall characteristics and yam production revealed insignificant positive and negative associations under the period under consideration except for Gboko where rainfall and rainy days were significant. We highlight the necessity for farmers in the study areas to plant early-maturing yam seedlings and pay attention to other factors of agricultural production in order to address the variability in rainfall characteristics especially the length of growing seasons (LGS).

The inability of farmers to access inputs at the right time coupled with high exorbitant prices of farm inputs and incentives has created good atmosphere for the sustainability of contract farming in Nigeria. This study analysed Livelihood Status of Rice Contract Farmers in Benue State of Nigeria. Sample sizes of 137 rice farmers were selected using multi-stage sampling method. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as (frequency, percentages and mean), livelihood status index and factor analysis. The findings revealed that 83.9% of contract rice farmers were male with mean age of 45 years. The mean size of farm land under contract farming and farming experience were 1.3 hectares and 25.5 years respectively. The most perceived benefits accruable from contract farming were contract farming help farmers in diversification of agricultural enterprise ( =4.92) and also improved farmers well-being/livelihood status ( =4.88). Further findings showed that majority of the respondents 79.6% had highly improved livelihood status. The major constraints faced by rice farmers were unforeseen future problem (0.9141), breach of contract by the farmers (0.9038) and delay in payment by the contracting firms (0.9030). It is recommended that more lands should be allocated for contract farming in the study area. Also, contracting firms should speed up the delivery of inputs to rice farmers.

Optimal time intervals for vaginal breech births: a case-control study
Authors: Spillane Emma , Walker Shawn , McCourt Christine
Published: September 2022

Background: Breech births are associated with a high rate of hypoxic injury, in part due to cord occlusion during emergence. Maximum time intervals and guidelines oriented toward earlier intervention have been proposed in a Physiological Breech Birth Algorithm. We wished to further test and refine the Algorithm for use in a clinical trial.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study in a London teaching hospital, including 15 cases and 30 controls, during the period of April 2012 to April 2020. Our sample size was powered to test the hypothesis that exceeding recommended time limits is associated with neonatal admission or death. Data collected from intrapartum care records was analysed using SPSS v26 statistical software. Variables were intervals between the stages of labour and various stages of emergence (presenting part, buttocks, pelvis, arms, head). The chi-square test and odds ratios were used to determine association between exposure to the variables of interest and composite outcome.  Multiple logistic regression was used to test the predictive value of delays defined as non-adherence the Algorithm.

Results: Logistic regression modelling using the Algorithm time frames had an 86.8% accuracy, a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 92.3% for predicting the primary outcome. Delays between umbilicus and head >3 minutes (OR: 9.508 [95% CI: 1.390-65.046] p=0.022) and from buttocks on the perineum to head >7 minutes (OR: 6.682 [95% CI: 0.940-41.990] p=0.058) showed the most effect. Lengths of time until the first intervention were consistently longer among the cases. Delay in intervention was more common among cases than head or arm entrapment.

Conclusion: Emergence taking longer than the limits recommended in the Physiological Breech Birth algorithm may be predictive of adverse outcomes. Some of this delay is potentially avoidable. Improved recognition of the boundaries of normality in vaginal breech births may help improve outcomes.

The global changes factors in international trade and russias military aggression: impact on the development of export activities in Ukraine regions
Authors: Zhabynets O.
Published: September 2022

Comparative analysis of trends and structure of world trade and trade of Ukraine in the international market, as well as the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the volume of trade in Ukraine and the world is carried out. It is established that world trade is characterized by more pronounced nature of the growing and declining dynamics in comparison with Ukraine's international trade, which is characterized by relative stability in the volume of export-import operations. It is argued that the main globalizing factors determining the trends in Ukraine's international trade today and in recent years are covid-19 pandemic, free trade zone with the EU and Russia's war against Ukraine. Peculiarities of Ukraine's cooperation with the EU in international trade in goods and services are analyzed. It is established that in the pandemic 2020 there was strengthening of Asian and American trends in the geographical structure of exports from Ukraine and European and American trends in the geographical structure of export services. The foreign trade in goods and services of the regions of Ukraine with the EU is analyzed. It has been established that Lviv oblast is the most integrated into the EU according to the European Integration Economic Progress Index, the share of exports of services to the EU and the share of exports in commodity trade among all regions of Ukraine, despite the covid-19 pandemic. The possible consequences of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine for the export activities of the state and its regions are analyzed. It is noted that Ukraine lost half of its export capacity in just one month of the war. This is due to the destruction of warehouses, production, freezing of production, as well as blocking the main export routes – the ports of Nikolaev, Odessa and Mariupol. It is established that in the future the following factors can reduce the export of agricultural products from Ukraine: reduction of the total area of crops, sown areas of export-oriented crops (including sunflower and corn) in favor of food crops (peas, barley, oats) for domestic consumption in wartime and the destruction of domestic granaries and elevators by the aggressor. It has been argued that Russia's military aggression against Ukraine as a factor in reducing export activity will not only lead to significant budget losses due to reduced export revenues, but will also threaten global food security. In view of this, the search for new alternative logistical ways to export goods to the world market is becoming one of the priorities in the implementation of Ukraine's export strategy in the near future.

That is why the analysis of negative and positive impact of leading Asian TNCs on the world is conducted.
Freier Zugang zur Natur

Landschaftsnutzung durch Sportausübende – was ist erlaubt? Zeit in der Natur zu verbringen, liegt seit einigen Jahren wieder voll im Trend. Aufgrund der zunehmenden Freizeitaktivitäten in der Natur kommt es aber auch immer wieder zu Konflikten zwischen Erholungsuchenden und Grundeigentümer*innen. Unabhängig davon, welcher sportlichen Tätigkeit wo nachgegangen wird, stellt sich aus sachenrechtlicher Sicht immer dieselbe Kernfrage: Ist das überhaupt erlaubt? Hat die Allgemeinheit ein Recht, in fremdes Eigentum einzugreifen? Angesichts der vielen offenen Rechtsfragen im Zusammenhang mit der Landschaftsnutzung durch Sportausübende und sonstige Interessierte sowie der Tatsache, dass es der Allgemeinheit oftmals am Bewusstsein über die Existenz der vorliegenden rechtlichen Problematik mangelt, ist eine grundlegende Analyse dieses Konfliktbereiches wesentlich. Diese Arbeit ermittelt eine allfällige Sozialbindung des Eigentums und ergründet damit die Reichweite eigentumsbeschränkender Rechte der Allgemeinheit an bebauten sowie unbebauten Grundstücken.
