A preliminary study on statistical modelling of a process for depolymerisation of cassava non-starch carbohydrate using halide salt assisted phosphoric and pyruvic acids were accomplished. The effects of three independent variables namely; acid concentration, potassium iodide salt and duration were studied using the central composite rotatable design on hydrolysis of the cassava non-starch carbohydrate. Hydrolysate marker, reducing sugar was evaluated as a measure of depolymerisation, consequently used as response in the study. Equations for predicting the response were developed and adequacy confirmed using analysis of variance and residual assessment. The predictive model provides the potentials of using phosphoric acid and pyruvic acid as depolymerisation agent for cassava non-starch carbohydrate in the presence of potassium iodide salt. This would open a new opportunity for depolymerisation of cassava non-starch carbohydrate that is usually used for low premium animal feed or left as dung resulting to environmental pollution. تفاصيل المقالة

This study assessed the effects of cassava fiber meal (CFM) and Roxazyme® G2 supplementation on performance and haemato-biochemical indices of broiler chickens in a feeding trial that lasted for 56 days. A batch of 360 day-old male Arbor Acres chicks of mean weight 390±8.04 g was allotted to 12 dietary treatments of 5 replications of 6 birds to a replicate in a completely randomized design of 4 × 3 factorial treatments. The CFM was substituted for maize at 0, 20, 40, and 60% levels. Each level was supplemented with Roxazyme® G2 at 0, 100, and 200 mg kg-1. The growth performance, carcass traits, relative organ weights, and haemato-biochemical profile of the broiler chickens were analyzed using General Linear Model (GLM) procedures. Results showed that CFM up to 40% did not decrease weight gain but at 60% substitution level, weight gain decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the starter and finisher period. Broiler chickens fed diets containing 60% CFM had lower eviscerated weight but higher liver and kidney weights compared with those fed the control and up to 40% CFM in place of maize. Eosinophil and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are the haemato-biochemical parameters that were influenced (P<0.05) at higher CFM substitution with or without enzyme supplementation. The non-significant interaction in the performance and haemato-biochemical parameters of the birds showed the independency of the two factors (CFM and Roxazyme® G2 supplementation) under consideration. CFM up to 40% substitution for maize with or without Roxazyme® G2 is safe as an energy source in broiler chicken diet. تفاصيل المقالة

This study was conducted in Abia state, Nigeria with specific objectives to: describe socio economic characteristics of ADP and non-ADP contact farmers; estimate profitability level of the two farmer groups; compare profitability of cassava production among the two farmer groups; determine factors that influence profitability of ADP and non-ADP contact cassava farmers and identify problems constraining the cassava farmers. Multistage sampling technique was used to select respondents. Data collected using structured questionnaire and interview schedule were analysed using descriptive statistics, cost and returns analysis, paired t-test and ordinary least square regression technique. The paired-t-test result showed that ADP contact cassava farmers had a statistically significant higher net return (N93, 638.6) per hectare of cassava production than non-ADP contact farmers (N65, 715.58). Factors that influenced profitability of cassava production among ADP contact farmers were age, variable costs, education and selling price while factors that influenced profitability of cassava production among non-ADP contact farmers were age, farming experience and selling price. Main constraint to cassava production among the ADP and non-ADP cassava farmers was inadequate access to credit. It was recommended that the scope of Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) in the state should be enlarged to accommodate more cassava farmers as evidence showed that ADP impacted positively on profitability of cassava production. To this end, additional skilled manpower should be employed and encouraged to visit more farmers on regular basis to teach them modern agricultural technologies. تفاصيل المقالة

This study assessed the input and output relationship in cassava production in Kogi State, Nigeria. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select 120 cassava farmers for the study. The survey instrument was a structured questionnaire. Data were collected on farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics, inputs used in cassava production, and other relevant data. The data were analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics and Cobb- Douglas stochastic frontier production function. The result of the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents showed that most of the farmers were female (64.2%). This study found an average age of 39.8 years among cassava farmers with a mean family size of 8 members and an average farm size of 3.7ha. Inputs identified in cassava production are; herbicide (65%), hired labour (50.8%), pesticide (21.7%), organic manure (38.3%), fertilizer (29.2%) and improved cassava cuttings (22.5%). The parameters of the production function were estimated by the maximum likelihood method using the computer program frontier. Results indicated that farm size (β = 75862.79), cassava cuttings (β = 63.4853), and labour (β = 409.4048) significantly influenced the output of cassava farmers at 5% level of significance. Furthermore, age (β = -.9921587), household size (β = -10.52704) and farming experience (β = 1.634783) significantly influenced inefficiency among cassava farmers in the area. Recommendations made to enhance the input-output relationship in cassava production include; provision of improved cassava cuttings to boost cassava production and there should be adequate farmland for cassava framers. تفاصيل المقالة

The study analysed women’s participation in processing cassava to gari in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Primary data were obtained from 120 respondents with the use of a well-structured interviw schedule in the study area. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The mean age of the reespondents was 48 years and had the mean household size of 5 persons. The mean processing experience, annual income and quantity of processed tubers were 15 years, ₦472,200.00 and 7 bags respectively. Women’s participation was high (3.1) in gari processing activities. Participation of women in cassava processing was significantly influenced by household size, annual income, processing experience and quantity of cassava roots processed. The major constraints to gari processing were inadequate storage facilities, poor transportation network, government policies on agricultural marketing, low capital, inadequate processing facilities, low returns from product sales and poor marketing channels. The study therefore, recommends that the government should encourage participation in packing activities by women gari processors to add value to processed products, ensure increased production of cassava roots by cassava producers, provide good transportation network, storage, credit and processing facilities, and formulate good agricultural marketing policies for these women for increased income and enhanced food security. تفاصيل المقالة

The study was designed to investigate the comparative analysis of agricultural credit users and non-users among cassava farmers in Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State. A sample of 50 credit users and 50 non-credit user cassava-based farmers were selected by multistage random sampling technique. Data were collected with a well structured questionnaire administered to a total of 100 randomly selected cassava farmers. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and ordinary least square multiple regression technique. The socio-economic characteristic of the farmers revealed that majority of the credit users were educated. Besides, majority of them also had appreciable experience in cassava farming which makes them better cassava farmers. Marital status, level of education, farming experience and household size are important factors that determine farm revenue for both group of farmers. Age was found to be significant and negative. It becomes imperative therefore to enhance farmers’ income and living standard by encouraging them to use agricultural credit in cassava production. [Henri-Ukoha, A et al.

The study on gender and net farm income of cassava-based farmers under individual land tenure system was done in Abia State of Nigeria. The main objective was to determine the Net Farm Income (NFI) and the Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of the cassava farmers by gender vis-aviz their income levels as well as food security in the state. A multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted while data were adopted through the use of structured questionnaire along with interview schedule. Secondary data were collected from relevant journals, internet and current literature on the study. Descriptive statistics, gross margin as well as net return analytical techniques were tools employed for analysing the field data. Results showed that, the mean farm size of the male headed farming households was 1.22ha while that of their female headed counterparts was 1ha. While only 29 members of the female headed households obtained their farmlands through inheritance, 94 of their male counterparts got their own from the same source. The Net Farm Income (NFI) results showed that the female headed households had a mean of ₦124,171 that of the male was ₦184,815 with Benefit-Cost-Ratio (BCR) of ₦1.77 and ₦1.90 respectively. Furthermore, the result also indicate that, women in this area are limited in their access to productive farm resources such as land, credit as well as modern farm implements among others etc. It is therefore recommended that, there is a need for the farmers in this area to have more access to farm productive inputs to enable them increase the scale of their farm operation thus increasing their farm profit as already shown by their BCR and hence, enhancing their farm income as well as achieving food security objective in the long run.

The study assessed the entrepreneurial behaviour of smallholder cassava farmers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was employed in the selection of 108 cassava farmers across the agricultural zones in Ebonyi state using pretested and structured questionnaire from which data and information were elicited. Analytically, the study employed entrepreneurial behavioural index (EBI) in the assessment of entrepreneurial behaviour of the cassava farmers. The result showed that the overall entrepreneurial behaviour of the cassava farmers posted a mean value of 0.4529 on a range of 0.17 – 0.70. This implies that their minimum entrepreneurial behaviour indicates gross underutilization of entrepreneurial attributes by the farmers while the maximum shows reasonable utilization of entrepreneurial capacity. The study concluded that aggressive agricultural transformation to enhance food security in Nigeria is feasible with effective management of human as well as material resources by promoting entrepreneurial behaviour of farmers. The study therefore recommends amongst others that government at all levels needs to deepen its educational and policy support to farmers through total overhauling of activities/programmes to activate their creativity. تفاصيل المقالة

A research was conducted to evaluate cassava production by women farmers in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. One hundred and twenty smallholder female cassava farmers were selected using multi-stage sampling. Data were collected from the respondents using questionnaire and interview schedule. Then descriptive statistics (mean, frequency and percentage) were used in analyzing the data obtained. Result showed that 60% of the respondents were in the age range of 30-60 years. Seventy three percent of them had one form of formal education or another. Majority (78%) of them cultivated 0.5-2.5ha of land with cassava per annum indicating that they were mainly small-scale producers. The use of manual implements such as hoes and cutlasses was pronounced in cassava production by the women farmers. Furthermore, the dominant source of finance for cassava production was personal saving (82%) with only 8% of them obtaining micro-credit from banks. Then 94%, 10%, 3% and 1% of the farmers processed their cassava into garri, fufu, chips and starch respectively. Result also revealed a number of constraints militating against cassava production by the women farmers in the study area. These include among others; lack of finance (93%), high cost of fertilizer (88%) and sex discrimination (81%) in relation to access to land and decision making. Climate change was also found to be a significant factor constraining cassava production in the study area. It was suggested that the women farmers should constitute themselves into cooperative societies to enable them access loans from banks for cassava production. [O. C, Odii.

This study analyzed the effectiveness of cassava women processors in value addition technologies in Abia State, Nigeria. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select ninety (90) women. Data for the study were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics such as: frequency, mean scores and percentages and inferential statistics (Tobit regression analysis). The socio-economic characteristics of the women revealed that a 63.33% of the women were married, with mean age of 49.5 years, mean processing experience of 4.5 years and mean annual processing N226,500 (4,190.25 USD). The result also revealed that the processors effectively utilized ( =2.65) cassava value added technologies in the study area. The Tobit regression estimates of the determinants of effectiveness of women in cassava value addition indicate that coefficients for processing experience, level of education and access to credit were positive and significant at 1%, 5% and 5% levels of probability respectively, while coefficients for marital status and age were negative and significant at different levels of probability. The study therefore recommends sustainability in training and re-training of women in cassava value addition technologies, group formation and access to credit by women in order to promote effectiveness in cassava value addition technologies in the study area. تفاصيل المقالة

This study examined the influence of socioeconomic variables of farmers on their choice of cassava varieties in Kogi State of Nigeria. A total of 360 cassava farmers were selected through multi-stage random sampling procedure. Data collected through structured questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics, customer-buying behavioral model and dynamic programming model. The results showed that TMS cassava variety (variety A) is more popular among the college-graduate farmers, farm experience of above 20years, farm size of 3–5hectares and farm income of N50,000-100,000. Similarly, the educational status of farmers, farm size, farming experience and farm income also influenced the choice NS variety (variety B) and local variety (variety C). The small scale farmers, illiterates and farmers with small farm income dominated the use of local variety. The study then recommends special credit scheme for small scale farmers and education of illiterate farmers on the advantages of using improved cassava variety. [S. J. Ibitoye.

T he study examined factors influencing the adoption of improved cassava processing technologies. Interview schedule was used to collect information from 100 rural women involved in cassava processing. The average age of the respondents was 51 years and majority (77%) had formal education. The women’s main source of information on the improved cassava processing technologies was through the WIA (extension) agents. Years spent on formal education, household size and credit accessibility had significant and positive influence on adoption of the improved technologies. Age had a significant but negative influence while membership of social organization and number of extension contact had no significant influence on the adoption. The WIA (extension) agents should intensity their contact with the women. The women should be engaged in more training programmes to learn more about the improved cassava processing technologies in order to improve their livelihood. تفاصيل المقالة

The study was carried out to assess the effects of the Root and Tuber Expansion Programe (RTEP) on the livelihood of project beneficiaries in Kwara State, Nigeria. A 3-stage sampling technique was adopted for the study, selecting a total of 80 cassava processors from two Agricultural Development Programe (ADP) zones in the State. Structured interview schedule was used as instrument to elicit primary data from processors. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the socio economic characteristics of the respondents. The t-test was used to test the hypotheses on the relationship between the income and livelihood of RTEP beneficiaries and non beneficiaries, while those on the socio economic characteristics was tested using the Mann-Whitney (U) test. The findings of the study showed that RTEP provided more than 73 percent of total cassava processing equipment in the study area. The study further revealed that there was no significant difference in the socio-economic characteristics and livelihood of RTEP and Non RTEP participants. There was however a significant difference in their income. Amongst others, the study recommended massive investment in subsidizing critical cassava processing equipment, and provision of micro-credit at low interest rates to cassava processors. تفاصيل المقالة

Seasonal variability impact on livestock production and management stems from poor pasture quality and quantity as well as shortage of water. During wet season, there is usually sufficient quantity of pasture in good quality for animal consumption; but during dry season, there is always insufficient pasture as well as shortage of water for livestock consumption. As a result of these, exploration of resilience livestock production and management practices capable of enhancing animal performance during dry season becomes highly necessary. Based on the above background, a 12 weeks trial was carried out during January, February and March in 2015 to determine the effects of cassava bran plus fish processing waste supplement on body weight gain, blood composition and meat quality of West African Dwarf sheep at a location within Nigeria Southern Guinea Savannah. Twelve growing lambs were randomly allotted to three Treatments; each fed dried cassava peel ad-libitum in addition to 0%, 1.5%, or 2.5% body weight equivalent quantity of the cassava bran-fish processing waste supplement throughout the feeding trial. Sheep fed control (0%) diet had negative body weight change (P<0.05). Sheep fed cassava bran-fish processing waste supplement at 2.5% body weight level had higher (P<0.05) body weight, nutrient composition and carcass yield. Treatment effects on sheep organoleptic properties and meat fatty-acids composition were significant (P<0.05). Our study established that cassava bran and fish processing waste are potential dry season feed resources suitable for growing lambs since it has no negative impact on the health of the animals and it promote growth and performance of the animals. We recommend further studies into full integration and improvement of diets prepare from cassava bran and fish processing waste for sheep feeding during dry season; also investigation into possibilities of incorporating fish processing waste into production of silage for growing lambs. تفاصيل المقالة

Fishis one of the main sources of protein and important nutrients which help promote health. This study was an attempt to determine the impacts of using different levels of cassava leaves on antioxidant features, nutritional health values, and the quality of fish floss. Cut cassava leaves in different percentage (5%, 10% and 15%) were added to chili paste and tuna fish to prepare fish floss. The proximate analysis, antioxidant activities, color, and total cyanide content of the fish floss were then examined. The present findings suggest that the antioxidant activity of fish floss was likely to increase as there was an increase in the percentage addition of cassava leave compared with the control fish floss. The fiber content of fish floss increased by adding cassava leaves because cassava leaves are rich in fiber. Furthermore, cyanide content dropped to a lower level during pounding and boiling in water. It could be implied that cassava leaves with a lot of advantageous components could be a great ingredient to enhance antioxidant features and nutritional values (protein and fiber) of fish floss. تفاصيل المقالة
