The use of non-conventional feed resources (NCFR) either as replacement or as a supplement in the nutrition of livestock is discussed in this paper. The shortage of feed resources for livestock and poultry feeding diverted majority of research in the field of animal nutrition to look into possibilities to overcome this nutritional crisis. A possible and perhaps the most viable proposition could...

 The applicability of structural timber to construction is due its desirable qualities such as lightweight, aesthetics and eco-friendliness. However, continuous use for purposes comes with the challenge posed by anisotropic nature various species. Advanced societies have developed modified their sawn species in form glue-laminated members beams, columns, joist etc. Nigeria are yet be full...

This study was conducted to assess the species distributional range, structure, and regeneration status of G. copallifera Benn. A survey in over 30 villages communities where claims were made about presence this species. At four locations, pairs large plots measuring 500m x 20m laid out 400m apart each subdivided into ten (10) subplots (50m 20m). For studies (Seeds, seedlings saplings), ...

Foliage growth, mass- and area-based leaf nitrogen concentrations (Nm and N a) and specific leaf area (SLA) were surveyed during a complete vegetation cycle for two co-occurring savanna tree species: Crossopteryx febrifuga (Afzel. ex G. Don) Benth. and Cussonia arborea A. Rich. The study was conducted in the natural reserve of Lamto, Ivory Coast, on isolated and clumped trees. Leaf flush occurr...

Climate change, land degradation, and desertification lead to the loss of carbon present in soil plants. The dioxide (CO2) concentration atmosphere has reached 412 ppm. This is a rise 47% since start industrial period, when was close 280 Therefore, sequestration from earth need hour. Many scientists have suggested agroforestry as potent instrument for climate change mitigation well fetch lucrat...
