Animal’s Body adaptive heat as per their Environment
Abstract: The temperature environment is the most significant ecological element influencing domestic animal growth, development, and productivity. Body weight, fat deposition, hair-coat qualities, functional activity, sweat gland count, and the existence or absence of anatomical respiratory countercurrent are all factors to consider. All these factors have a substantial influence on the pathways of energy exchange (sensible heat and latent heat) between animals and their surroundings. Heat exchange has been specialized because …

Resilience Enhancement for Animal Breeding Programs
Abstract: Resilience is an animal's ability to be unaffected by disturbances or to quickly reverts to the condition it was in prior to the interruption. Furthermore, generic markers for response to various environmental disruptions are still to be developed, and so resilience may not yet be included within the breeding strategies. New resilience indicators based on data obtained have been implemented as a result of recent improvements in big data collection, …

Bioremediation of Oil-Spilled Sites through Seeding Naturally Adapted Pseudomonas putida
Abstract: In the present study, crude oil degradation was analyzed using isolated bacterial strains. These bacterial strains were isolated from the crude-oil-contaminated soil sample. All the isolates were identified as species of Pseudomonas, in which the Pseudomonas putida P11 and LP1 demonstrated a strong ability to degrade kerosene, gasoline, diesel, engine oil and crude oil. Bioremediation for oil spill cleanup was analyzed by the inoculation of P. putida with the addition …

REFLECTION ON INDUSTRIALIZATION STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
Abstract: This paper discusses Industrialization Strategy for Sustainable Economic Development In Nigeria. The means by which development has been conceptualized determines the message that is passed across. Depending on the situation, development can be seen as a state, a process and a characterization all encapsulated in a word. In the 1950s and 1960s, development was viewed by the United Nations Organization (UNO) as an economic phenomenon in which rapid gains in …
