Published: August 2023

Abstract
Plant-based milk products are tasty and nutritious for all ages. In Nigeria, these products are widely available and affordable by many, and sometimes also serve as alternatives to fresh cow’s milk in many homes due to scarcity or unavailability of the former. Many researchers have reported that the presence of lactose in cow milk is deleterious to individuals that are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. Coconut (Cocos nucifera) and tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) are rich in fiber, protein, minerals such as phosphorous, selenium, potassium, manganese, and some vitamins. In this study, the physicochemical, microbiological properties, and sensory evaluation of dairy yoghurt fortified with coconut milk (CNM) and tiger nut milk (TNM) at varying percentages were evaluated during the period of storage (0, 4, 7, and 14 days) at 4°C, with dairy yoghurt serving as control. Lactobacillus spp. were the main fermentative organisms in all the yoghurt samples. The pH of the yoghurt samples ranged between 3.61-5.74 for the freshly prepared samples and between 3.18-5.19 after 14 days of storage. No significant differences were observed in the sensory properties of yoghurt containing 10, 20 and 30% TNM and CNM, and the control. In conclusion, plant-based milk sources can serve as a close substitute for dairy yoghurt.

Abstract
Grasses and legumes are the two most significant plant species utilized as animal feed. Each of them has a special set of advantages that make it suitable for a distinct use. Thus, the objectives of this research work were to (i) evaluate the effects of planting density on growth and development of legumes and grasses, and (ii) examine the effects of planting density on the nutritional status of legumes and grasses for ruminant production. Five legumes and two grasses were subjected to 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm planting density in RCBD with three replications. ANOVA indicated that there were highly significant differences (P<0.001) in all the parameters measured. The plant density was also found to have highly significant (P<0.001) effect on internode and significant (P<0.05) effect on stem diameter and number of stems. Species by plant density interaction had highly significant effect (P<0.001) only on internode length. There was significant (P<0.05) decrease in morphological traits and biomass yields as the plant density increased. There were significant differences in mineral elements and proximate composition. Increase in plant density decreased the performance of plant species. The planting of both legumes and grasses at 30 cm spacing will be more beneficial for ruminant feed production.

Abstract
Humans are bombarded daily with myriads of health-related dairy information and its impact on their health. While much of this information could be beneficial, others may be harmful, especially to the non-scientific publics, who cannot immediately verify such information. These non-scientific publics could also find it daunting to interpret and understand scientific findings on sustainable dairy benefits, thereby increasing the scourge of misinformation. While studies on the benefits of sustainable dairy production to human health have received much scholarly attention, there is a recurring challenge of dairy misinformation. Hence, communicating dairy products’ scientific benefits through research findings, facts, and counter-narratives becomes imperative. Science communication offers various methods to transmit science-related information to non-experts, thereby reducing misinformation. This study examines non-scientific publics knowledge and understanding of dairy benefits to understand aspects of dairy misinformation. Quantitative data was generated among 124 purposively selected non-scientific respondents, while five (5) professional medical practitioners (in)validated respondents’ opinions on aspects of dairy misinformation and scientific beliefs. The findings revealed a high knowledge of dairy benefits while there were aspects of misunderstanding and misinformation around dairy benefits. Moreover, respondents were uninformed about scientific findings and their benefits. This study suggests that providing counter-dairy narratives through adequate science communication, media (traditional and digital), community-level interactions, and multidisciplinary partnerships between science-based and non-science-based scholars could be a panacea to reducing dairy misinformation.

Abstract
Nigerian dairy sector regardless of its size, compared with other African nations, is divided, and ineffective, with a milk shortfall of 1.2 million metric tons per annum, despite the immense potential for profits from this venture. The study examined Dairy Farmers' awareness, sources, knowledge of Artificial Insemination, and challenges in dairy production. One hundred and fifty-three Dairy farmers were randomly from three states in the southwest. Results show that the majority of dairy farmers were within the age range of 41-50, 61.44% got information from other farmers,56.21% do not have formal education, 21-30 years in dairy farming, and 62.09% reared Local breeds. Majority (62.3%) of dairy farmers are aware, have no taboo on the use, and do not have contact with the extension staff. Dairy Farmers claimed that the animal’s health status should be considered first for Artificial insemination. Farmers are having high knowledge level of Artificial insemination and their major challenges are accessing credit and insecurity. It is concluded that the utilization of Artificial insemination technology is necessary for the development of dairy industry, therefore, extension contact must increase, the security of lives and property must improve and the introduction of exotic breeds for crossbreeding must also increase.

Published: August 2023

AbstractChemical, physico-chemical and sensory properties of yoghurt and yoghurt simulates produced from blends of cow milk and coconut milk were investigated to produce a value-added product from the blends. Cow milk and coconut milk were blended in ratios 100:0; 80:20; 60:40; 50;50; 40:60; 20:80 and 0:100. Colour, pH, titratable acidity (TTA), proximate and mineral composition of the yoghurt samples were determined using standard methods. A 30–member panel assessed the yoghurt samples for sensory attributes, using a 5-point Hedonic scale. The L* value showed that 100% cow milk was the lightest with a value of 101.78. The pH and TTA values ranged from 3.78-3.81 and 0.21-0.51% respectively. The moisture contents ranged from 77.28–84.92%, protein: 2.20 – 4.69%, ash: 0.44 – 1.02%, fat: 0.07 – 0.31%, carbohydrate: 11.06 – 16.52%., phosphorus: 26.55 – 84.7 mg/100g, potassium: 62.27 – 161.62 mg/100g, zinc: 0.15 – 0.73 mg/100g, iron: 39.38 – 91.59 mg/100g, magnesium: 6.34 – 20.69 mg/100g, calcium: 61.58 – 217.23 mg/100g and manganese: 7.07 – 220 mg/100g. The yoghurt blend with 40% coconut was the most preferred among the blends and next to the sample with 100% milk in terms of general acceptability. Coconut yoghurt could serve as substitute for yoghurt from cow milk.

Abstract
The quest to secure healthy consumption for both animals and man necessitated the interest of the authors to investigate the presence and the level of concentration of five heavy metals [Lead (Pb), Iron (Fe), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn)] in forages for the cows at a dairy farm in a Nigerian University. The studied forages were of three species namely; Brachiaria Gayana (also known as giant signal grass), Brachiaria Sabia, and Brachiaria Decumbens, which were collected from the research farm at Bowen University, Iwo, Nigeria. These samples were randomly collected in triplicate, labeled, stored and analyzed for the presence of five different heavy metals using PG990 atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed traces of Pb although at a minimal level in all the samples collected, while Cd was not detected in all the forage grasses. The result also showed that the mean concentration of Fe, an essential heavy metal was the highest among all the heavy metals in the forages studied. The result is expected to shed more light on understanding the physicochemical properties of the forages in the studied dairy community.

Abstract
The dairy sector performs a fundamental role in daily income, self-sufficiency, and food security among dairy farming households. Therefore, this study conducted a cost-benefit analysis of dairy production in South West Nigeria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 150 dairy farmers selected through a multistage sampling method. Descriptive statistics and budgetary techniques were the analytical tools employed. The majority (60.67%) of the farmers were within active and productive age. Most (58.67%) were male, and the majority (92.91%) were married. Most (45.45%) had primary education. The total revenue (TR) realized from dairy farming was ₦493,752.00 per annum. On the other hand, the total fixed cost (TFC) incurred was ₦ 44,799.00. The total variable cost (TVC), the total cost (TC), The gross margin (GM) and the net farm income (NFI) are; ₦229,142.00, ₦ 273,941.00, ₦264,610.43 and ₦219,811.43 respectively. Furthermore, the rate of return on investment (RORI) was ₦0.80, which implies that on every one naira invested, a return of ₦1.80 was realized with a profit of N0.80. Dairy farming is profitable, given the positive values of the indices. However, genetically improved breeds, proper orientation and support services for dairy farms are strongly advocated for better performance and yield.

Abstract
Dairy sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world with little global contributions from African countries and from Nigeria in particular. This study modelled and forecast diary milk production in Iwo and its environs using different variants of Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) models. Data used in this study comprised the daily milk production in Iwo and environs between 26th May, 2021 and 31st May, 2022 as obtained from Bowen University milk collection centre in Iwo, Nigeria. Sstationary was examined using the ADF test and p-value of. 0020 indicating the data is stationary at level (p<.05). Preliminary result indicates that milk production in the study area was as it peak in June, 2021 with 295 litres and the least value was obtained in September, 2021 with average of 63.95 litres in 2021 and 64.93 litres in 2022 respectively. There was no significant difference in litres of milk produced between these two years (p>.05). Four ARMA models, ARMA(1,1), ARMA(1,2), ARMA(2,1) and ARMA(2,2) were identified as tentative models with BIC values of 7.528, 7.550, 7.549 and 7.570 respectively. The four tentative models satisfied model diagnostic checking (p>0.05) and ARMA (1,1) gave the lowest value of Root Mean Square Error. Hence, ARMA(1,1) was adjudged as the best forecasting model among the competing models. Result of 30 days forecast shows that there will be a consistent steady increase in milk production within a range of 38 litres to 55 litres per day.

Abstract
Gills are respiratory organs and bioindicators of environmental pollution since they are directly related to the environment. This study aims to examine anatomical differences in the gills of Tor tambra, Tor soro, and Hampala macrolepidota. This study used 5 fish with an average weight of 2-5 kg collected from the Tangse River area, Pidie Regency, Aceh and the Bahorok River area, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The research step comprised sampling, transportation, dissection, photo shooting and editing, morphological analysis and data analysis. Morphological studies were observed from the shape, location, and the number of each gill. Data were analyzed descriptively in the form of tables and figures. Results of morphological comparison showed that the fish’s gill apparatus consisted of arcus branchialis, filamen branchialis and branchiospinalis. In T. tambra and T. soro, the shape of the arcus branchialis resembled inverted L-like curve, compared to H. macrolepidota which resembled a crescent moon. Each filamen branchialis sheet of T. tambra was sparse, while T. Soro was denser and H. macrolepidota had shorter filament. T. tambra and T. soro had a sharp and dense branchiospinalis compared to H. macrolepidota which was pointed and sparse. The ceratobranchialis raker of H. macrolepidota fish was not developed compared to that of T. tambra and T. soro which were more developed.

Abstract
Walking catfish Clarias batrachus is a freshwaterr fish that has high economic value. Currently, the culture of this local catfish has been initiated in Indonesia, but the breeding technology has not been well developed. Therefore, this study aims to explore the type of natural extender for sperm preservation of local catfish C. batrachus so that it can support the development of its breeding technology, especially in remote areas. The research was conducted at the Hatchery Laboratory of the Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Universitas Syiahh Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.. Four types of natural extenders were tested in this study, namely young coconut water, nira water, sugarcane water, and old coconut water. Completely randomized design method consisting of five treatments and three replications were used in this study. Sperm were diluted with each tested extender with a sperm dilution rate of 1:20 (sperm: extender, v/v), then stored at 4 °C. The motility and viability were monitored every 24 h interval for 6 days. The results showed that the natural extender significantly affected the motility, viability, and sperm fertility of walking catfish (P<0.05). Young coconut water produced higher motility and viability on all observation days. The higher sperm motility, viability, and egg fertility on the last day of the experiment were also found in sperm diluted in young coconut water, with values of 45.83%, 43.83%, and 41.50%, respectively. These values were significantly different from other types of extenders. Therefore, it is concluded that young coconut water is the most suitable natural extender for sperm preservation of local catfish at 4 °C.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The highly dynamic nature of marine waters can create unique characteristics for bacterial communities. The purpose of this study was to quantify the number of bacteria present in the beach sand and coastal waters of three marine aquaculture centers in Bali, Indonesia. Two locations that have developed were selected (Patas Village and Candikusuma Village). While an advance centre was located in Sumberkima Village Bay. Sampling was done in March-April 2021. Seawater and beach sand from the three locations were collected and analyzed for total plate count bacteria, Vibrio sp., halotolerant bacteria, rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria and anaerobic facultative bacteria. Sampling of sea water was carried out at 4-5 points around floating net cages and beach sand around the location. The sampling results showed that the total plate count bacteria and halotolerant bacteria in coastal waters from the three locations were less varied. While number of Vibrio sp. in Candikusuma Village lower than the Vibrio sp. in two centre. Rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria were found in advance centre (Sumberkima Village). Sand beach bacteria from Sumberkima Village and Patas Village have similar number of total plate count bacteria, Vibrio sp., halotolerant bacteria and rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria. However, the number of these bacteria were significant different with the same bacterial on the beach sand of Candikusuma Village, except anaerobic facultative bacteria. These results indicate that the bacterial population is influenced by development of aquaculture activities in coastal waters.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The implementation of infrastructure development in the marine and fisheries sector is faced with the challenge of realizing the integration between national policies through the potential, problems, or needs in the regions as outlined in society-based plans. The interest of the Indonesian government to develop Natuna Regency as a fishery industrial zone is related to potential resources that can still be optimized and has a strategic water as a border area, making it prone to illegal fishing cases by neighboring countries. Based on that, the purpose of this study is to examine the development of Natuna Regency as a fishery industrial zone. The analysis was carried out qualitatively with a case study approach and discussed descriptively. The parameters used to measure the readiness of Natuna Regency as a fishery industrial zone are: 1) government policy and governance; 2) fish resources utilization and spatial planning; 3) infrastructure; 4) community empowerment and business; 5) institutional; 6) technology. The result showed: 1) aspects of the development pillars that have been assessed as supporting Natuna Regency to become a fishery industrial zone; 2) the impact of fishery industrial development policies can increase economic activity in Natuna Regency; 3) the Natuna’s Regency appointment as a fishery industrial zone by the Indonesian government is the right policy.
