The average household size in of goat was higher than that of other livestock species. A total of 40 woody plant species were identified in all study areas. Acacia karoo, Coddia rudis and Scutia myrtina were the most dominant woody species in all study areas. Most of the woody plant species had the highest abundance in the height class >0 - 1 m. The average total woody plant density in Thorn bush and Mixed bush were 3461 and 2416 number ha-1, respectively. In conclusion both study areas were highly encroached and it was also perceived by elder from both areas that bush encroachment is a problem in the rangelands.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 22:49:00 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39110 Wed 12 May 2021 16:22:53 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40665 Wed 12 May 2021 14:59:24 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40362 Wed 12 May 2021 14:39:19 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40361 Wed 12 May 2021 14:37:59 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40107 Wed 12 May 2021 14:31:12 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40106 Wed 12 May 2021 13:53:09 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43197 10 mg mL-1. The antioxidant and free-radical scavenging activity of the obtained oils and extracts were tested by means of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH+) assay, [(2,2ˊ-azino bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] (ABTS), nitric oxide and ferric reducing power assays. The oils and extracts showed DPPH radical scavenging ability, but not as high as the standard drugs. The base extract showed a higher reducing power than the standard drug, rutin. There were significant differences in the phytochemicals contents of the various leaf extracts. The acetone extract has the highest flavonol, proanthocyanidin, and alkaloid contents. The ethanol extract showed the highest amount of phenolic content with the acid extract, having the least. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography was employed to obtain different fractions of extracts using four eluent solvent systems of varying polarities: toluene, petroleum ether, hexane and ethyl acetate and sprayed with anisaldehyde. A single, visible spot of B-fraction was developed, collected and analyzed as 1-methyl-2,4,5- trinitroimidazole with renown valuable properties.]]> Tue 15 Jun 2021 15:58:29 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39616 Tue 07 May 2024 11:15:41 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39095 Tue 07 May 2024 10:47:22 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43139 Tue 07 May 2024 08:41:04 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39131 0.05), but there were significant differences in root biomass between grassland (HVU2) and thicket (HVU3) site (p<0.05). The mean for total root biomass found in the study was 2.66 kg m-2. In all the trenches most of the root biomass was found in depth 1 (0-30 cm) which was 2.43 kg m-2followed by 1.32 kg m-2 in depth 2 (30-60 cm) and 0.49 kg m-2 in depth 3 (60-90 cm). According to the results on species composition, herbaceous biomass, basal cover, soil moisture content and the root biomass, Kwezana communal rangeland has a potential of running a sustainable livestock production enterprise if proper management practices can be implemented. To improve the rangelands of Kwezana communal rangelands management such as proper resting, burning, proper stocking rates and physically clearing of bushes should be considered.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 06:42:05 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39174 0.05), but there were significant differences in root biomass between grassland (HVU2) and thicket (HVU3) site (p<0.05).
