The coconut oil, coconut water and palm kernel oil was administered orally at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight to white albino rats to check for some effect on biochemical parameters. Twenty (20) rats divided into four (4) groups of five (5) rats each. One group was treated with distilled water and feed only serving as control, second group was treated with coconut water only while the third grou...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of coconut materials on ruminal methanogenesis and fermentation characteristics, in particular their effectiveness for mitigating ruminal methanogenesis. Fistulated Holstein cows were used as the donor of rumen fluid. Coconut materials were added to an in vitro fermentation incubated with rumen fluid-buffer mixture and timothy sub...

It?s definitely not a nutty idea to ask more about this oil! Unfortunately, though, the evidence on whether or not coconut oil is healthy is resoundingly? inconclusive. Despite its growing popularity (which may stem from excitement about its perceived health benefits), there is a lack of evidence to support a number of current health claims made about coconut oil (more on those in a bit). While...

Understanding the distribution of traits across the angiosperm phylogeny helps map the nested hierarchy of features that characterize key nodes. Finding that Amborella is sister to the rest of the angiosperms has raised the question of whether it shares certain key functional trait characteristics, and plastic responses apparently widespread within the angiosperms at large. With this in mind, w...

This study investigated the effect of sowing media on seed germination and subsequent seedling growth Senna fistula L. Treatments were T1 (Top soil), T2 (River sand), T3 (Grinded coconut husk) T4 (weathered sawdust), replicated two times for germination. The treatments arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) data generated was subjected to analysis variance (ANOVA) at 5% level signific...
