Welcome to the University of Jos Institutional Repository. The repository is organized into communities that represent the major academic and administrative units of the university. Each community houses collections of scholarly and research materials created by its departments, centers, or affiliated researchers. These communities provide structured access to publications, theses, datasets, reports, and other academic outputs. They reflect the diversity of research and innovation across the University of Jos, supporting open access, long-term preservation, and global visibility of the university’s intellectual contributions.

    Effect of Cooking Methods and Temperature on Proximate and Amino Acid Composition of Breakfast Sausage
    (2019-08-07) Oshibanjo D. O; Olusola O. O.; Ogunwole O. A.
    Aims: The effect of cooking method and temperature on amino acid composition of breakfast sausage (BS) was undertaken in this study. Methodology: Three batches of prepared BS from beef, were randomly allotted to three cooking methods (CM): (boiling, grilling and frying) each at cooking temperatures (CT) of 80, 90 and 100°C to attain internal temperature of 72°C in a completely randomized design. Samples from each treatment were oven-dried and assayed for amino acid and proximate composition using standard procedures. Data obtained was analysed using descriptive statistic and ANOVA at α0.05. Results: Results showed that grilled sausage at 80°C had highest total amino acid profile (3.2%). Grilled sausage at 80°C had highest crude protein (25.58%). Grilled BS at 80°C recorded least fat content (15.99%). Grilled sausage at 80°C had the higher ash (6.66%) and least (1.40%) in boiled sausage at 90°C. Conclusion: Therefore, breakfast sausage could be best grilled at 80°C due to maintain high amino acid profile, crude protein, ash and lower fat content. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    On-farm Fatality Rate of Cattle Transported to Lgboora Abattoir
    (2019-09-07) Oyinlola O. O; Oshibanjo D. O; Luka J. S.; Okapanachi U.; Okeke R. O
    Aims: The shortcomings in animal welfare during the transportation of cattle had led to increased mortality among animals. The aim of this study is to determine the fatality rate in cattle transported for slaughter in the Towobowo abattoir located in Igboora Ibarapa Central Local Government. Materials and Methods: The fatality of cattle transported to Igboora abattoir was evaluated for four months. The cattle were brought to the lairage at Towobowo before they were slaughtered and sold out. They were usually brought in from Budo Musa and Thursday kraal market in Igboora. 2,196 cattle were brought to the abattoir between January and April, 2019. 12 animals were lost top transportation stress and mishandling. Data were analysed using chi square. Results: There was not significant effect (p=0.4464) of the fatality rate across the months. Since, fatality is usually recorded mostly from the cattle brought from Budo Musa due to overcrowding in the trucks and under extreme atmospheric conditions with rough driving. ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Effects of Feeding Roasted Canarium schweinfurthii Seed Meal on Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Broiler Chicken
    (2019-08-19) Adelowo O. V; Oshibanjo D. O; Olaiya O. D.; Banjo A. A.; Machen M. J
    Aims: The study was conducted to determine the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed diet with roasted Canarium schweinfurthii (atili) seed meal. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty (120) two weeks old chicks were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments containing 0% (control) T1, 2.5% (T2), 5% (T3), and 7.5% (T4) of roasted Canarium seed meal (RCSM) respectively, in a completely randomized design. Thirty birds per treatment with three replicate of ten birds each for six weeks. The parameters measured were
