Promoting black soldier fly (BSF) rearing in Benin to replace fishmeal fish diet could reduce production costs. This study aims set up a breeding technique of BSF as protein source. reproduction has been carried out sunlight. Two densities (8500 individuals/m3 and 10,500 individuals/m3) associated with 2 attractants (soybean pineapple waste) were tested on imago egg-laying. A larvarium prepupae...

Aiming at finding cheaper and still efficient feed for aquaculture species 56 days feeding trial was conducted on African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) post fingerlings, fed five diets with a 40% crude protein target in which maize replaced offal meal 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% respectively. Ten fish each were stocked plastic aquarium tank containing 20 L of water. The 5% body weight divided into t...

Echinococcosis bears an important impact on public health, mainly because it has a chronic course progression that may lead to various degrees of handicap, and even death. Moreover, it has a negative impact on economy, since it causes losses because of the offal seized, it reduces the production of beef, milk and wool, and impairs livestock fecundity (Togerson, 2001). The populations primarily ...

Proper disposal of carcasses and offal after home slaughter is difficult in poor and remote communities and therefore dogs readily have access to hydatid cysts containing offal from livestock, thus completing the parasite cycle of Echinococcus granulosus and putting communities at risk of cystic echinococcosis. Boiling livers and lungs which contain hydatid cysts could be a simple, efficient an...

Few studies have examined the association between Asian dietary pattern and prediabetes, in particular, the Chinese diet. We conducted a cross-sectional study to identify dietary patterns associated with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) which considered a state of prediabetes in Chinese men. The study included 1495 Chinese men aged 20 to 75 years. Information about diet was obtained using an 81-i...
