The vomeronasal organ (VNO) consists of paired, blind ending tubes on either side of the nasal septum. The VNO lumen connects to the nasopalatine canal and also to the oral and nasal cavities. The vomeronasal sensory epithelium is connected to the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). The AOB in turn has a direct link to the hypothalamus. If the VNO and the accessory olfactory system do play a role i...

A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the current status of Brucella antibodies in goats in Kaduna North Senatorial District of Kaduna State, Nigeria. A total of 442 serum samples (31 bucks and 411 does) were screened using Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT), serum agglutination test with ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (SAT-EDTA), and lateral flow assay (LFA). Results. The prevalenc...

Abstract Goats are important livestock for meat and milk production. Artificial insemination (AI) is an technique used to propagate genetic gain through spreading of selected male traits. Inadequate fertility rates in goats after AI mainly related the semen quality, which influenced, by breeds, cooling, freezing procedures. Here, we investigated effect goat breeds (Saanen versus Alpine) on qual...

Zinc (Zn) is a potent antioxidant and plays a key role in scavenging free radicals. We hypothesized that supplementation of Zn would reduce the oxidative damage, which is linked with poor sperm quality. Sixteen bucks of similar average age (2 years) and body weight (41 kg) were randomly divided into four groups viz., 1, 2, 3 and 4 supplemented with zinc sulphate into the diet at the rate of 0, ...
