ABSTRACT: The present experiment was conducted to study variations in milk Somatic Cell Count( SCC), pH and activity of whey enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in relation to different udder health status of sheep. The average values of milk SCC, pH, and LDH differed significantly (P<0.01) among various udder health status of sheep. The mean difference for SCC of milk showed significant (P<0.01) differences varying from 2.89 to 35.45 x 105. The average milk pH values ranged from 6.44 ± 0.006 to 7.22 ± 0.03. Also, LDH showed significant (P<0.01) differences among various udder health status of sheep.

Keywords: Lactate dehydrogenase, pH, Sheep, Somatic Cell Count.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the impact of agriculture output volatility on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data from 1970 – 2013. It employed the ordinary least square technique and Exponential generalized Autoregressive conditional hetroscedasticity (EQARCH) analysis. Generalized Autoregressive conditional Hetroscedasticity (GARCH) model has been applied in this study to calculate volatility of agriculture output. Augmented dickey fuller is applied for unit root test while the Eigen value test are used to capture the long term effect of there variables on economic performance..........

Keywords: Output volatility, Economic growth, GARCH, & EGARCH.

ABSTRACT: Pig livestock is one of the superior livestock among people in Papua, thus it is expected that this livestock could become one alternative to alleviate poverty and improve domestic food security where pig livestock has important value in social, cultural, religious and economy manner. Lembaga Pengem bangan MasyarakatAmugmedanKamoro (LPMAK) is community institution in Mimika Papua that has social responsibility to improve their people well-being, particularly for pig farmer in seven ethnics in Mimika, that are in Dani, Damal, Amungme, Moni, Nduga, Kamoro and Mee. Objectives of this study is to found out contribution of pig livestock for well-being improvement among pig farmer in Mimika through............
