The Strategic Use Of Closantel And Albendazole In Controlling Naturally Acquired Gastrointestinal Nematodes Of Sheep In The Kenya Highlands
(University of Nairobi., 1997)
The strategic use of closantel, a narrow-spectrum salicylanilide anthelmintic against bloodsucking
helminths, and of albendazole, a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic, in the control of
gastrointestinal nematodes ...
Surface specialization of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the chicken, and their overt roles in pectineal haemodynamics and nutrient transfer to the inner neural retina
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1997)
The structure of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the domestic fowl was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy results demonstrated the existence of a ...
Managing waterhyacinth invasion through integrated control and utilisation: perspectives for lake Victoria.
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Achieving control of the biological invasion of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in Lake Victoria has become a major priority in East Africa. Water hyacinth was first introduced to Egypt in about 1890, but its spread ...
Prediction of the useful energy in tropical feeds from proximate composition and in vivo derived energetic contents. 1. Metabolisable energy.
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Multiple regression models were used to predict ME from the proximate composition of 345 tropical forages and 37 concentrates. ME was derived from published digestibility experiments with sheep and cattle. Linear, quadratic ...
The preventive effect of the fungus Duddingtonia flagrans on trichostrongyle infections of lambs on pasture
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Four groups of 8 parasite-naive Dorset-crossbred lambs, 3–4 months old, were turned out on infected pasture on 2 May and allocated to 4 separate paddocks. From May to September, 2 groups received Duddingtonia flagrans (106 ...
Bacillus cereus may produce two or more diarrheal enterotoxins
(1997)
Bacillus cereus strains were tested for production of diarrheal enterotoxin by the reverse passive latex agglutination test and for presence of B. cereus enterotoxin gene (beeT) by polymerase chain reaction. About 50% of ...
Fuel Oil and Electricity Consumption in a- Kenyan Milk Powder Factory
(1997)
Fuel oil and electrical energy consumption in a milk processing plant was measured daily for a whole year. The plant has a processing capacity of 150 tons of milk per day. The plant primarily produced milk powder and ...
Game cropping and wildlife conservation in Kenya: A dynamic simulation model with adaptive control
(Elsevier, 1997-08)
We use a dynamic stochastic simulation model of forage, herbivores, predators and domestic livestock in the Machakos District of Kenya to address policies related to the multiple use of rangeland resources. The particular ...
Worm control practices on sheep farms in Nyandarua District of Kenya
(1997)
A questionnaire investigation was used to examine anthelmintic usage and practical worm control for sheep on 50 farms selected randomly in Nyandarua District of Central Kenya. Control of helminths was based primarily on ...
A stereological comparison of villous and microvillous surfaces in small intestines of frugivorous and entomophagous bats: species, inter-individual and craniocaudal differences
(1997)
The extents of functional surfaces (villi, microvilli) have
been estimated at different longitudinal sites, and in the
entire small intestine, for three species of bats belonging to
two feeding groups: insect- and ...
