Dark And Yellow Rapeseed Hulls, Soybean Hulls And A Purified Fiber Source: Their Effects On Dry Matter, Energy, Protein And Amino Acid Digestibilities In Cannulated Pigs
(1984)
Hulls from Tower rapeseed (dark colored
cultivar), R500 rapeseed (yellow colored
cultivar) and soybean were included in semipurified
diets for growing pigs at 10%, to
investigate the effects of these fiber sources ...
Aquatic and Aerial Respiration Rates, Muscle Capillary Supply and Mitochondrial Volume Density in the Airbreathing Catfish (Clarias Mossambigus) Acclimated to Either Aerated or Hypoxic Water
(1983)
Specimens of the African air-breathing catfish Clarias mossambicus were acclimated to either aerated (PwO2 15.3 KPa) or hypoxic (PwO2 2.4KPa) water for up to 27 days at 20 °C. Routine respiration rate for fish acclimated ...
Digestive secretions in camels
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
The digestive secretions of both old world and new world camels are considered
The salivary glands closely resemble those of cattle and sheep both morphologically andphysiologically. Evidently, as in the Ruminantia, ...
The Morphometry of the Lung of the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus): Its Structural--Functional Correlations
(1985)
The lung of the African lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus has been investigated by morphometric techniques. The volume of the lung was strongly correlated with body mass. The exchange tissue made up about 50% of the lung. ...
The structural functional correlation in the design of the bat lung. A morphometric study
(1984)
The lungs of five species of bat Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Miniopterus minor (Peters), Tadarida mops (De Blainville), Cynopterus brachyotis (Muller) and Cheiromeles torquatus (Horstield) have been analysed by morphometric ...

(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1985)
Species identified include Amaranthus hybridus [cruentus], Crotalaria brevidens, Solanum nigrum, Gynandropsis gynandra and Erucastrum arabicum. They normally grow wild in most parts of Kenya and the leaves are used as ...
Contents of nitrate-N and thiocyanate ions in kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala DC) leaves from kale-growing areas in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1988)
The leaves were sampled in Nov. 1984 and Mar. 1985 from the Kisii, Kericho, Nakuru, Nyahururu, Naivasha, Limuru, Karatina and Kibwezi areas. The results indicated significant differences in nitrate-N contents and thiocyanate ...
Epidemiological aspects of important diseases of camels in selected areas of Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1982)
Periodic laboratory tests and clinical examinations were carried out in 4 herds of dromedaries between August 1979 and January 1981. Trypanosomiasis (probably due to Trypanosoma evansi) was endemic in all herds; T. congolense ...
Shade management in subtropical environment for milk yield and composition in Holstein and Jersey cows
(University of Nairobi, 1981)
Forty-eight cows were assigned randomly to shade (15 Holsteins, 8 Jerseys) or no shade (16 Holsteins, 9 Jerseys) for 102 days beginning 12 June 1977 to examine effects of solar heat load on milk yield and composition. ...
Sulfur supplementation of Hereford X Boran steers grazing Sorghum almum
(University of Nairobi, 1983)
Two groups of Hereford X Boran castrated cattle grazed on fertilized grass (Sorghum almum) with sulphur 0.11 to 0.18% for 10 months. Weight gain by those given a salt lick with 8% sulphur did not differ significantly from ...
