Datasets of shotgun metagenomics evaluation of rumen microbiota of South African mutton merino sheep Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Van Marle-Koster, Este; Hassen, Abubeker; Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi (Elsevier, 2023-12)The rumen microbial consortium plays a crucial role in the production performance and health of the ruminant animal. They are responsible for breaking down complex plant materials such as cellulose and hemicellulose to ...

Leketa, Khabane; Donkin, Edward Francis; Hassen, Abubeker; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa (South African Society for Animal Science, 2019-04-14)This study examined the effects of diets with two protein sources (oilseed cake meal (OSCM) and Leucaena leucocephala hay) on the performance of lactating goats that were fed a total mixed ration (TMR). Thirty Saanen milk ...

Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi; Hassen, Abubeker; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa (MDPI, 2019-10-25)Tannins have become important phytochemicals in ruminant production, due to their wide range of biological activities. The use of a crude extract often comes with limitations, such as reduced feed intake and fibre ...

Du Preez, Danah A.; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi; Hassen, Abubeker (MDPI, 2023-11-14)Plant secondary compounds are potential rumen modifiers that can improve nutrient utilization in ruminant animals. This study evaluated the effect of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extracts ...

Mpanza, Thamsanqa Doctor Empire; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Hassen, Abubeker (MDPI, 2020-11)Feed shortage is the main cause of poor production performance in livestock under smallholder farmer’s in South Africa. Therefore, this study evaluated the growth performance, nutritive value and in vitro ruminal ...

Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Hassen, Abubeker; Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi (MDPI Publishing, 2020-01-16)Natural compounds such as plant secondary metabolites (PSM) can be used to replace antibiotic growth promoters as rumen modifiers. In this study, the effectiveness of stored and freshly extracted Aloe vera (AV), ...

Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Hassen, Abubeker; Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi (MDPI, 2020-09)Medicinal plants have been found to be effective in a wide range of applications in ruminant animals. However, some plant extracts may be toxic to animals, depending on their seconday metabolite composition and dose, and ...

Sanni, Toibudeen Adesegun; Jesuyon, Oluwatosin Mawunapn Adegoke; Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi; Baiyeri, Samuel Olorunfemi; Boluwaji, Oluwapelumi Victoria; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Hassen, Abubeker (Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2020)This study evaluated the potential utilisation of African yam bean (AYB) seed as a supplement to Guinea grass on in vitro gas and methane (CH4) production, as well as the effect of processing on AYB nutritive value. In ...

Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi; Hassen, Abubeker; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Morgavi, Diego P. (Elsevier, 2020-01)This study investigated the effect of urea or calcium nitrate with or without the inclusion of Acacia tannin extract on dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and methane emission in growing lambs. ...

Leketa, Khabane; Hassen, Abubeker; Donkin, Edward Francis; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa (Bureau for Scientific Publications, 2019-11)This study investigated the effects of incorporating different protein sources (oil seed cakes versus Leucaena leucocephala hay) in a total mixed ration (TMR) on intake, digestibility, growth and carcass meat quality of ...
-
Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Hassen, Abubeker (CSIRO, 2018)Some medicinal plants have the tendency to manipulate the rumen microbial ecosystem, which in turn might reduce methane (CH4) emissions. The anti-methanogenic activities of leaf fraction of Piper betle, Aloe vera, Carica ...

Nel, Tertio Christo; Hassen, Abubeker; Akanmu, Abiodun Mayowa; Adejoro, Festus Adeyemi (South African Society for Animal Science, 2020-10-26)Exogenous enzymes and essential oils (EOs) have both improved fibre digestion in ruminants, but the effect on ruminal fermentation and methane emission of combining these additives requires further evaluation. Various EOs ...
