COMPARATIVE GROWTH AND FEED INTAKE ANALYSIS OF ALBINO AND NORMAL SKINNED GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL (GALS) Archachatina marginata.
COMPARATIVE GROWTH AND FEED INTAKE ANALYSIS OF ALBINO AND NORMAL SKINNED GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL (GALS) Archachatina marginata. by AKINNUSI et al ABSTRACT This experiment aimed at investigating the comparative growth and feed intake analysis of albino and normal skinned Giant African Land Snail (GALS) Archachatina marginata. A total number of 60 snails were used for this research. The snails were purchased from a reputable farm in Abeokuta. Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was used. The experimental diet was formulated using maize,…
HAEMOLYMPH BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL (ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA) FROM SOUTHWEST, NIGERIA
HAEMOLYMPH BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL (ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA) FROM SOUTHWEST, NIGERIA by Akinusi et al ABSTRACT The six southwest states of Nigeria are richly endowed with high population of giant African land snails (GALS), but also differ in their vegetation types and climatic factors. This study examines the haemolymph biochemical properties of the land snail, (Archachatina marginata) from the six southwest states (Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti). Organic (protein, lipids, glucose) and inorganic (Na, K, Ca,…
EVALUATING THE GENETIC DIVERSITY AND HEAVY METAL COMPOSITION OF PERIWINKLE (TYMPANOTONUS FUSCATUS VAR. RADULA) AT THE SHORELINE OF UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA
EVALUATING THE GENETIC DIVERSITY AND HEAVY METAL COMPOSITION OF PERIWINKLE (TYMPANOTONUS FUSCATUS VAR. RADULA) AT THE SHORELINE OF UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA By Akeredolu et al ABSTRACT Heavy metal pollution constitutes a threat to life in aquatic environment. Information on the effect of heavy metals on the genetic diversity of periwinkle remains scanty in literature .Thus a study was carried out in two sites along the heavy metal polluted shoreline of the University of Lagos, Nigeria to determine the effect of…
