This study was carried out in Central Tanzania and aimed at evaluating the effect of Baobab seed cake (BSC) on growth performance and carcass quality of pigs. Twenty-four (24) weaners of both sexes were involved in the ...
Evidences of declining rabies: A retrospective study of cumulative clinical data at Sokoine University Animal Hospital, Tanzania

Matondo, A. B. (Tanzania Veterinary Journal, 2019)

Rabies remains one of the public health threats with annual deaths approximated to be up to 1500 in Tanzania and 59000 globally. Despite of its importance, there is a significant gap in surveillance especially for Canine ...
Immunohistochemical detection of Mycoplasma mucoid mucoid small colony type in lungs of slaughtered cattle at Morogoro slaughterhouse, Tanzania

Malago, J. J.; Mlay, J. D. (Tanzania Veterinary Journal, 2015)
