Morphometric Characterization of West African Dwarf Sheep in Remo Zone of Ogun State Nigerian J. Anim. Sci. 2018, 20 (2): 6-15 Morphometric characterization of West African Dwarf Sheep in Remo zone of Ogun State Awobajo, O. K. Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, P. M. B 2118, Ogun State, Nigeria [email protected] Target Audience: Researchers, Livestock producers, Development officers Abstract The study attempted application of morphometric parameters in the assessment of phenotypic variation among West African Dwarf sheep in Three (3) Local Government Area (LGA) of Remo province in Ogun State using phenotypic traits namely, Horn Length (HL), Head Width (HW), Head Length (HDL), Shoulder Width (SW), `Foreleg Length (FL), Hearth Girth (HG), Rump Length (RL), Pauch Girth (PG), Wither Heart (WH), Tail Length (TL), Ear Length (EL), Thorax Depth (TD) and Body Length (BL). Data were collected from 150 sheep comprising of male and female animals. Analysis was done using SPSS (2001) statistical package to obtain the means, standard deviations, standard error and coefficient of variation from the data collected which was subsequently used for classification. The result showed no significant different (P < 0.05) for all the phenotypic traits measured across all the LGA except EL, HDL and HG that were significantly different (p < 0.05) in Ikenne and Sagamu LGA. The mean for EL, HDL and HG ranged between 9.88 cm in Ikenne LGA and 10.64 cm in Remo LGA, from 23.28 cm in Ikenne LGA to 24.62 cm in Remo LGA and from 26.88 cm in Ikenne LGA to 29.00 cm in Sagamu LGA respectively showing the variation in the population studied. Key words: Morphometric parameters, Ogun State, Remo, West African Dwarf Sheep Description of Problem practiced in developed countries specifically West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep is a for its products of meat, wool and other fibers trypanotolarent species of small ruminants (6). The economic importance of sheep in reared by small holder farmers in south developing nation cannot be over emphasized, Western Nigeria (10). The National population sheep with their small body size have high commission (12) puts the population of sheep productive capacity and rapid growth rates that in Nigeria at 29.0million. The WAD sheep are are ideally suited production by poor small the predominant breed of sheep in the humid holder. According to (1), in sub-Sahara Africa tropics. Adult males weigh approximately sheep provide almost 30% of meat consumed 37kg and are horned. Ewes are polled and have and around 16% of the milk produced. Sheep mature weigh of 25kg. They can breed at age contributes about 50% of the domestically of 7-8 months, (17). They tend to have a short produced meat. Nigeria possesses about 22.1 lambing interval with prolificacy of adult ewes million sheep and they thrive in a wide variety ranging from 1.15 to 1.50 lambs per lambing of environments in the tropics and sub-topics. season (10, 17).

Email: [email protected] Accepted 3 May 2019 Ilisan Remo is a town in Remo land of Ogun State. There are different versions of the tradition of origin of the Remo people, most of those stories are linked to Ijebu-Ode and Ile-Ife. Since 1959, Ilisan Remo has witnessed a gradual migration Igbo and Ibibio people who migrated and eventually settled in Ilisan Remo. Among these settlers, the Igbo are more in number and have lived cordially with their Youruba host. The Igbo have contributed to the economic development of Ilisan. Conflicts are amicably resolved and no record of any major confrontation between the settlers and their host. Culture is not left out in their interaction as inter-marriages have occurred between the two groups. This paper examines issues on Igbo migration to Ilisan Remo, Ogun State since 1959, the causes of this migration and their contribution to the development of the community. In order to have a clearer understanding of the subject matter, the paper has been segmented into sub-headings, clearly stating the content analysis of the study. The objective of this paper is to carefully examine Igbo migration to Ilisan Remo and the reasons for this migration.

    International Journal on New Trends in Education and Their Implications April, May, June 2011 Volume: 2 Issue: 2 Article: 4 ISSN 1309-6249 UNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATION (UBE) POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN FACILITIES PROVISION: Ogun State as a Case Study Prof. Dr. Kayode AJAYI Dr. Muyiwa ADEYEMI Faculty of Education Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, NIGERIA ABSTRACT The Universal Basic Education Programme (UBE) which encompasses primary and junior secondary education for all children (covering the first nine years of schooling), nomadic education and literacy and non-formal education in Nigeria have adopted the “collaborative/partnership approach”. In Ogun State, the UBE Act was passed into law in 2005 after that of the Federal government in 2004, hence, the demonstration of the intention to make the UBE free, compulsory and universal. The aspects of the policy which is capital intensive require the government to provide adequately for basic education in the area of organization, funding, staff development, facilities, among others. With the commencement of the scheme in 1999/2000 until-date, Ogun State, especially in the area of facility provision, has joined in the collaborative effort with the Federal government through counter-part funding to provide some facilities to schools in the State, especially at the Primary level. These facilities include textbooks (in core subjects’ areas- Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Primary Science), blocks of classrooms, furniture, laboratories/library, teachers, etc. This study attempts to assess the level of articulation by the Ogun State Government of its UBE policy within the general framework of the scheme in providing facilities to schools at the primary level.

Received 06 February, 2016; Accepted 16 March, 2016 © The author(s) 2015. Published with open access at www.questjournals.org ABSTRACT:- Soil conservation is a set of management strategies for prevention of soil being eroded from the earth’s surface or becoming chemically altered by overuse, salinization acidification, or other chemical soil contamination. Soil conservation technique is the application of processes to the solution of soil management problems. This research assessed the level of crop farmers’ awareness of soil conservation, described the socio- economic characteristics of the crop farmers, and evaluated factors that determine or influence their adoption of soil conservation techniques in Ikenne local government area of Ogun State. One hundred (100) crop farmers were selected randomly for the research study but out of all the 100 questionnaires administered, only 97 were found useful for analysis. The demographic data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, while the logit regression model was used to evaluate the factors determining crop farmers’ adoption of soil conservation techniques. The descriptive analysis result showed that 61.9% of the respondents had farming as their major occupation, 87.6% had farmlands of their own, 38.1% belonged to farmers’ groups/associations, and 71.1% were aware of soil conservation techniques.

Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract Background Ascariasis, Trichuriasis and Hookworm infections poses a considerable public health burden in Sub-Saharan Africa, and a sound understanding of their spatial distribution facilitates to better target control interventions. This study, therefore, assessed the prevalence of the trio, and mapped their spatial distribution in the 20 administrative regions of Ogun State, Nigeria. Methods Parasitological surveys were carried out in 1,499 households across 33 spatially selected communities. Fresh stool samples were collected from 1,027 consenting participants and processed using ether concentration method. Households were georeferenced using a GPS device while demographic data were obtained using a standardized form. Data were analysed using SPSS software and visualizations and plotting maps were made in ArcGIS software. Results Findings showed that 19 of the 20 regions were endemic for one or more kind of the three infections, with an aggregated prevalence of 17.2%.
