Bioactivity of Synadenium glaucescens (pax) extracts on helminth eggs and larvae from wastewater stabilization ponds in Morogoro municipality,Tanzania

Hassan, S. (Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2015)

The increased use of wastewater and sludge from wastewater stabilization ponds in agriculture predisposes the consumers to the health risks. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bioactivity of Synadenium glaucescens ...
Polymorphisms of Kappa-casein and Beta-lactoglobulin genes and their association with milk fat and protein contents in Tanzanian goats

Kuwi, Salum Omari (Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2015)

This study was conducted to assess the polymorphisms of beta-lactoglobulin (-Lg) and kappa-casein (-Cn) genes and determine the effects of -Lg polymorphism on percentage of milk fat and protein contents in indigenous ...
Diversity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes in avian pathogenic Escherichia Coliin scavenging local chicken in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania

Armah, Emmanuel Odartei (Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2016)

The poultry industry, especially chicken production has in recent times faced a major set-back due to devastating effects of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactases (ESBL) producing organisms.This research aimed at investigating ...
