Authors: Khan Muhammad Qaiser Alam , Shaheen Nasira , Khan Romesa Qaiser 
Published: February 2021

Objective: To establish efficacy of malaria prevention programs by screening troops returning from UN peacekeeping services in high risk areas in Africa for malarial parasites.
Study Design: Cross sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Kharian, from Jan 2017 to Jan 2019.
Methodology: In this cross sectional study, individuals of regiments returning to Pakistan from high risk areasin Africa were screened for malarial parasites. A total of 1632 samples were analyzed during this time frame.Informed consent was taken at the individual and institutional level. Blood samples obtained from each participant were tested by both immuno-chromatographic techniques and peripheral blood films.
Results: Total 1632 individuals were screened for malarial parasites. Peripheral blood slides were negative in allindividuals except one. Immuno-chromatographic techniques for detection of malarial parasites were positive in 17 individuals for Plasmodium falciparum antigen. Only one individual had both Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum positivity via both methods. All of them were asymptomatic at the time of screening, had a past history of high grade fever treated with anti-malarial drugs and were admitted for observation and follow up.
Conclusion: Despite the high prevalence of malaria in Africa, the current prevention protocols prove to be highly efficacious in protecting UN peace-keeping forces from infection and lowering mortality rates.

Authors: Ajayi H. I. , Ajao B. J. 
Published: February 2021

In an experiment to investigate the effect of feeding corn cob meal (CCM) supplemented with Maxigrain®, one hundred and forty-four day-old Arbor acre chicks were fed 6 treatment diets for 28 days, and growth performance indices were assessed. There were 8 bird randomly allotted to each replicate and 3 replicates per treatment diet, in a 3×2 factorial completely randomized experimental design. The levels of CCM inclusion were 0, 25 and 50% and 2 levels of enzyme supplementation, 0g/kg and 0.1g/kg diet. Diet 1, 2 and 3 wer without enzyme while diets 4, 5 and 6 were supplemented with the enzyme cocktail,Maxigrain®. Feed and clean water were administered ad libitum, feed intake (FI) and body weight gain (BWG) were assessed for the experimental period. Analyzed composition of diets had a dry matter range of 90.65 - 92.15%; metabolizable energy, 2849.42 to 2952.46 kcal/kg; crude protein 17.2 - 18.55%; a crude fibre range of 5.1 – 5.35% and ether extract of between 5.35 – 7.2%. Part replacement of maize with CCM significantly decreased FI from 1.01kg/replicate/day to 0.83 kg /replicate/day and also decreased dressed percent from 74.91 71.77% significantly (p<0.05). Birds fed 25% CCM supplemented with Maxigrai performed comparably to birds fed the control diets, 25% CCM with Maxigrain is therefore recommended.
