ABSTRACT: Comparative efficacy of different herbicides against weeds in transplanted kharif rice was studied at Agricultural Farm of Institute of Agriculture, Visva Bharati,Sriniketan, West Bengal. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The results revealed that the major weed flora associated with the transplanted rice during kharif season was mainly comprised of Echinochloa colona, Cyperus iria L., Sphenoclea zeylanica Gaertn. and Ludwigia parvifloraRoxb. Bispyribac sodium @30 g a.i ha-1applied at 25 days after transplanting was most effective to check all types of weed population and their growth. This treatment also gave the maximum grain yield (5549 kg ha-1)..............

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of helminths in cattle in Kirinyaga County in association with the agro-ecological zones, breed types and animal management styles. Epidemiological data was collected using a questionnaire survey administered to 244 respondents. Fecal samples from cattle were collected within a period of four months to determine helminths and protozoa egg counts. The study revealed that there was a significant association between the type of management style used and helminth infestation. The grazing style of management significantly related to helminths infection (P< 0.05). When considering the various cattle breeds, Arshyires and Friesians were significantly associated with helminth infection at 24 and 50 times higher than the crosses and zebu breeds............

ABSTRACT: Bovine mastitis has been known to cause considerable losses in the dairy industry. Knowledge of the occurrence and incidence of clinical mastitis in dairy cows is of great importance for monitoring the health status of the mammary glands, also in institution and implementation of control programs for the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of clinical mastitis in Friesian X Bunaji crossbred dairy cows in a Research farm in Zaria, Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study which involved the use of passive data (lactation records) generated from 2000 to 2015 in the Dairy Research Programme of a National Animal Production Research Institute, Shika-Zaria..............

ABSTRACT: A total of 72 fishes, belonging to three species of order perciform fish: Acanthopagrus bifasciatus (Sparidae), Platax orbicularis and P. teira (Ephipidae), which were collected from Iraqi marine waters, during period October 2013 till July 2014. The results showed tow species of monogenean: Sprostoniella multitestis and Lamellodiscus sp. The study included the prevalence and intensity of fish parasites, where there appeared clear differences in respect to fish species, and showed significant differences at p≤ 0.05. The present study revealed that the highest prevalence (92.85%) of infection in P..............

ABSTRACT: The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of animals harbor a variety of parasites particularly helminths, which causes clinical and sub-clinical parasitism. These parasites adversely affect the health status of animals and cause enormous economic losses to the livestock industry. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of helminths in cattle of Kirinyaga County. Epidemiological data was collected using a questionnaire survey administered to 244 respondents while rectal faecal samples from 261 cattle were collected within a period of four months to determine helminths egg counts.............
