Morphometric characterization and growth performance of Jamunapari goat under semi-intensive production system
Abstract
The goal of this study was to describe and measure how Jamunapari goats grew when they were raised in a semi-intensive production system. A total of 116 Jamunapari goats were used as experimental animals; among them kids (0-6m), growers (6-10m) and adults (12m-above) were 37, 45 and 34, respectively. The concentrate mixture (17% CP, 11 MJ ME/kg DM) was given twice daily at rates of 250, 200 and 100 g per head per day for adults, growers and kids, respectively. Kid's live weights were taken at 15-day intervals up to three months, followed by measurements of their morphological characteristics using a measuring tape in accordance with FAO (2012) guidelines. Morphometric measurements (body length, head length, rump height, wither height, heart girth, tail length, ear length and horn length) differed significantly (p<0.05) among the age groups and were found higher in males than female Jamunapari goats. The birth weight of Jamunapari male (2.67±0.21 kg) and female (2.43±0.13 kg) did not differ significantly (p<0.05), but body weights differed significantly (p<0.05) between males and females at different stages where male attained 21.12±1.15 kg and female 15.65±2.20 kg at 12 months of age. The average daily body weight gain of Jamunapari male and female goats also differs significantly (p<0.05) at 3 and 6 months of age and is found to be 73.87±1.76, 68.18±2.61 and 61.62±3.34, 63.54±4.38 (g/d), respectively. The variation in morphometric and growth performance among the age groups of Jamunapari goats was found to be significant and it can be concluded that there is a scope for further improvement of Jamunapari goats through good nutrition and other management practices.

Farmers’ switching behavior from crop to fish production: causes and consequences
Abstract
The major purposes of this research study were to: determine the extent of switching behavior of the farmers from crop to fish production, determine the causes and consequences of farmers’ switching behavior and also to explore the relationships between each of fifteen selected characteristics of the farmers and their extent of switching from crop to fish production. Data were collected from randomly selected 74 farmers of 12 villages of Shyamnagar and Kaligonj upazila under Satkhira district by using an interview schedule during the period from August 20 to November 25, 2021. Finding revealed that majority proportion (78.4 percent) of the farmers’ switched crop production to fish production into a lower amount of land compared to 13.5 percent of them switched from crop to fish production into a medium amount of land and 8.1 percent of the farmers switched from crop to fish production into a high amount of land. In practical situation, all the potential area of a farmer was not switched from crop to fish production. According to cause index for switching from crop to fish production “higher profit in fish production ranked first cause” followed by “salinity problem for crop production”, “irrigation problem in kharip season”, “less production in crop cultivation”, “climatic hazard”, “less physical attachment in fish production” and “lower diversity in local cropping pattern”. For switching from crop to fish production farmer were facing some positive and negative consequences. According to consequences index in positive direction, “increasing economic return of the farmers” ranked first consequences followed by “increase pesticide free dyke vegetable cultivation” and “preservation of rainwater for future use”. Based on consequence index in negative direction, “decreasing crop production” ranked first consequences followed by “increasing soil salinity after shrimp cultivation” and “high risk of return from fish production”. Out of fifteen selected characteristics of the farmers, BCR from fish production, extension contact, fish production knowledge, fish production practices of the farmers had significant positive relationship with their switching behavior from crop to fish production, while age of the farmers had significant negative relationship with their switching behavior. Rest ten characteristics i.e. education, farm size, family size, BCR from crop production, crop production knowledge, organizational participation, cosmopolitanism, training exposure, problem faced in crop cultivation, problem faced in fish production, had non-significant relationship with their switching behavior from crop to fish cultivation. Advisory service providers of crop and fisheries sector should take necessary actions to increase crop and fisheries productivity logically in the study area for the betterment of the farmers and the country.

Quantitative composition of two economically important fish species in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State
Abstract
Fish farming which is an aspect of aquaculture, is one of the fast-growing enterprises in Nigeria’s economy so as to satisfy the continuously growing need for a relatively cheap source of protein in which fish fits in. Fish is commonly recognized to be an outstanding source of protein which is quite nourishing and as a result, forms a greater percentage of the diet of the world population due to its availability and palatability; it is also known to perform a crucial function in humans diet because of its essential nutritional components which is present in different proportion. In order to ensure consumption of healthy meals, people have become particular about the nutritional composition of their food intake hence the need to evaluate the nutritional content of two fish species which are of great economic importance due to their high demand in Nigeria. The proximate analysis of wet and dry Clarias garipinus (catfish) and Oreochromis niloticus (Tilapia fish) was determined by analyzing the moisture, fibre, carbohydrate, protein, fat and ash content. The results of the analysis for (wet) and (smoked) samples of the fish showed that the moisture content was the highest in wet catfish (62.453±0.011), while protein content had the highest value of 47.309±0.002 in the smoked sample of catfish. Ash contents of all the analyzed fish samples were significantly low, with the lowest value (0.191±0.001) and the highest value (2.217±0.002) in smoked catfish and wet tilapia, respectively. This study observed a considerably high amount of fat, with mean values ranging from 12.642±0.008 to 16.556±0.019 in all the processed fish samples. Generally, the smoked samples had higher protein values and lower fat contents than the wet samples. This suggests that smoked fish, either catfish or tilapia will be preferable as good sources of animal protein in meeting the nutritional demand of the populace.
