Survey on pests, diseases and their control strategy has been carried out at Mwea-Tebere area, Kirinyaga District. There is the problem of excessive use and misuse of insecticides in the area. French beans are being grown ...
Effect of tempe and sodium metabisulphite on the microbiological quality, development of rancidity, and sensory quality of Nile perch (Lates niloticus) sausages
(University of Nairobi, 1999-06)
The conventional method of beef and pork sausage manufacture was adopted for processing fish sausage from Nile perch (Lates niloticus) fillets. Four types of sausage were made: sausages with 0.02% sodium metabisulphite ...
Recovery of different Listeria ribotypes from naturally contaminated, raw refrigerated meat and poultry products with two primary enrichment media.
(1996)
Isolation rates for Listeria monocytogenes and the other Listeria spp. typically improve when samples are enriched in more than one primary enrichment medium. This study evaluated the abilities of two primary enrichment ...
Development of thermoregulation in Hawaiian brown noddies (anous stolidus pileatus)
(1991)
-I. Oxygen consumption (V02) and body temperature (Tb) of Hawaiian brown noddies (Anous stolidus pileatus [Aves: LaridaeJ) during late incubation and in the first 24 h after hatching were measured at ambient temperatures ...

When the Kenyan Vertisols are classified following the Soil Survey Staff (1975) 'Soil Taxonomy', the only two subgroups (Typic Pellusterts and Typic Chromusterts) defined for areas with ustic moisture regime have been found ...
Heat transfer to particles in shear flow: application in aseptic processing
(University of Nairobi,, 1993)
Convective heat transfer coefficients at the fluid-particle interface were obtained for shear flow in a holding tube to simulate aseptic processing of particulate-containing liquid foods. The particles were made of polymethyl ...
Antibiotic resistance patterns of bacteria implicated in bovine mastitis and some canine infections.
(University of Nairobi,, 1990)
A total of 2080 bovine milk samples, and 775 canine wound and sputum samples were analysed to assess susceptibilities of bacterial isolates to 5 antibiotics commonly used in the area served by the Ambulatory Services of ...
Microbial enrichment and detoxification of coffee pulp for use as animal feed ingredient in Kenya.
(1990)
Culture derived from "ensiled" coffee pulp (CP) was most efficient in growth and acidification of CP. All the microorganisms tested grew in CP broth, but exhibited different degrees of autolysis during fermentation. ...
