The hatching of nauplii was in a concentration dependent fashion, with hatching success decreasing with increase in concentration of extracts. Lethality of extracts determined based on Meyerʼs index of toxicity, showed that the acetone and hexane extracts of V. karroo were moderately toxic. The results of this study indicated that aqueous and methanolic extracts of Vachellia karroo pods were not toxic, therefore supporting its traditional therapeutic usage. This implies that rather than discard x the pods as is waste as it being currently done, Vachellia karroo pods could be salvaged and processed along with the leaves, thus reducing environmental pollution. Proximate parameters (moisture, ash, crude fibre, crude fat, proteins, and carbohydrate) were evaluated using ALASA methods, and elemental analysis by ICP-OES technique. Nutritional analysis showed that V. karroo pods had low content of crude fat and high content of crude fibre, ash, crude protein, and carbohydrate sufficient to meet the recommended dietary allowances. The pods were rich in major minerals Ca, K, P and Mg, with sufficient amount of trace elements Na, Fe, Zn, and Cu. The outcome of this study suggests that Vachellia karroo pods have good nutritional potentials to support or complement the recommended dietary allowance and could be a cheap source of essential nutrients that could help in ameliorating most nutritional challenges as well as contribute remarkably to the amount of nutrient intake in human and animal diets.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 15:01:01 SAST ]]>

Furthermore, histopathological evaluation of organs revealed that no abnormalities were in heart and liver and kidney of rats fed on the control diet, while mild congestion in the liver and myocardium (heart) were observed in rats fed with protein deficient diet. No visible abnormalities were observed in the heart, kidney and liver of animals on the PD 10 diet, but myocardial fibres showing intense eosinophilia was detected in heart muscles of rats fed PD and PD3 diets. In this study, MOLM had a negative impact on feed intake and growth performance of animals and haematology. Blood biochemistry and histology suggest that MOLM has the potential of defending the body against infection with hematinic and blood enhancing qualities. Protein deficiency led to a significant elevation in the serum lipid profile of rats especially cholesterol even with increase in MOLM. PD10 had the highest triglycerides content when compared to the control but was lower (p>0.05) to that of PD. There was an increase in crude fat, ADF, NDF and protein in faecal samples of rats supplemented with MOLM diets while a decrease in moisture and ash was observed compared to the control.Vitamin and mineral deficiency resulted in significant decrease in serum cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL-C when compared to the control. There was a slight increase in excretion for all elements with increasing MOLM. Total removal of minerals and vitamins from the VMD experimental diets seemed not to have any visible negative impact on performance of the rats probably because of residual micronutrients present in other ingredients used in the feed formulation. MOLM could not replace protein in protein deficient diets.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 14:01:43 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40711 Wed 12 May 2021 13:59:47 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40703 Wed 12 May 2021 13:59:30 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40865 Wed 12 May 2021 13:57:56 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40870 Wed 12 May 2021 13:55:48 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40869 Wed 12 May 2021 13:55:38 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40871 Wed 12 May 2021 13:55:19 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40808 Wed 12 May 2021 13:54:50 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:41133 Wed 12 May 2021 13:54:12 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40724 Wed 12 May 2021 13:52:39 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40021 Wed 12 May 2021 13:51:48 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40873 0.05).

Ultimate pH was negatively correlated with thawing loss and some colorimetric attributes of lamb such as lightness, yellowness and hue angle. Moreover, tenderness was positively correlated with cooking and thawing losses. Significant differences were not (P>0.05) observed in sarcomere length, myofibrilar diameter and shear force between A and AB classes. Both sarcomere length and myofibrilar diameter were not correlated (P>0.05) with meat tenderness. These results suggest that A and AB classes are the same in nanostructure and that muscle nanostructure of these two classes is not related to meat tenderness. It was concluded that meat from sheep carcasses falling under the A and AB classes in the South African classification system vary greatly in physicochemical quality. Moreover, sheep carcasses from A and AB classes have the same sarcomere lengths and hence, they do not differ in meat tenderness (WBSF). However, when these classes were observed under a microscope, slight differences were noted in sarcomere lengths and myofibrilar diameters, which led to a conclusion that the two should remain as separated classes because their combination would result in the expansion of the non-uniformity of red meat tenderness. Therefore, A and AB classes should not be combined in the South African classification system. Further research is, however, recommended to evaluate the influence of other factors that were not examined in the current study.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 02:40:47 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39039 Thu 13 May 2021 02:14:20 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40785 Thu 13 May 2021 01:46:32 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39673 Thu 13 May 2021 01:35:09 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39264 Thu 13 May 2021 01:26:21 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39267 Thu 13 May 2021 01:03:20 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39879 Thu 13 May 2021 00:48:02 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39688 Thu 13 May 2021 00:18:35 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39121 0.05) difference in forage dry matter (DM) among the herbicide treatments in both years at Kubedlana. Results further showed that all five herbicides did not significantly (p > 0.05) increase the DM yield over control treatment. At Sinqumeni, results displayed no significant (p > 0.05) difference in forage DM among treatments during year 1, whereas in year 2, but all herbicide treatments except Haloxyfop-R methyl & Bendioxide (HBE) yielded greater (p < 0.05) DM yield than the control treatment. Comparing years, forage DM yield only under Bendioxide (BEN) and Paraquat (PAR) treatments had greater DM yield in year 2 than years 1. In Kubedlana, Bendioxide (BEN) and Haloxyfop-R methyl (HAL) treatments showed an IV increase in total density (TD), whereas Glyphosate (GLY) produced the lowest total density (TD) and Paraquat (PAR) and Haloxyfop-R methyl (HAL) resulted in an increased in density of total legumes (TL) relative to control treatment. There was a decline (p < 0.05) in the densities of total plants and forbs from year 1 to year 2. In Sinqumeni, herbicide applications resulted in higher density of total legumes than the control treatment, but results varied among herbicide treatments, greatest density being obtained at Haloxyfop-R methyl & Bendioxide (HBE) and Haloxyfop-R methyl (HAL) treatments. On phosphorus study, result showed a significant (p < 0.05) differences in dry matter (DM) yield among Phosphorus (P) treatments during year 2 of the study at Kubedlana site. All P treatments showed significantly greater dry matter (DM) yield in forage harvested in year 2 compared to year 1. At Sinqumeni, results showed Phosphorus (P) application did not have significance (p > 0.05) effect on forage dry matter (DM) yield on both years. In Kubedlana, there were indications of increased densities of total grasses, legumes and total plants in response to some levels of phosphorus (P) treatments. Treatment Phosphorus at 20 kg ha-1 (P20) yielded the highest total density (TD) and total legumes (TL) numbers and P10 had the lowest total density (TD). Both treatment and year interacted significantly (p < 0.05) to influence the mean density of some plant variables. At Sinqumeni, there were no significant differences due to phosphorus (P) treatments in the densities of total plants, grasses and forbs. Both years interacted significantly (p < 0.05) with treatments to influence the plant density mean, with Lespedeza cuneate (LESP) producing the highest plant density during year 1 and year 2, whereas BSERRL produced the lowest plant density during year 1 and year 2 periods. Therefore, findings of this study suggest that application of both Bendioxide (BEN) & Haloxyfop-R methyl & Bendioxide (HBE) treatments result in a decrease in dry matter (DM) yield, whereas Glyphosate (GLY) herbicide resulted in a decrease in both total density (TD) and total legumes (TL) and Haloxyfop-R methyl (HAL) herbicide application resulted in an increase of total density (TD) and total legumes (TL) V relative to control plot. On phosphorus study, results suggest that at Phosphorus at 40 kg ha-1 (P40) fertilization dry matter (DM) yield will be increased and at both Phosphorus at 20 kg ha1 (P20) and Phosphorus at 40 kg ha-1 (P40) high total density (TD) will be recorded where’s Phosphorus at 20 kg ha-1 (P20) fertilization result in high total legumes (TL).]]> Thu 13 May 2021 00:11:40 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40768 Thu 07 Mar 2024 09:53:15 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40704 Mon 06 May 2024 15:05:59 SAST ]]>
