Item Effects of feeding maize-soybean meal based diets with a tanniniferous additive (A. karroo leaf meal) to broiler chickens(University of Namibia, 2013) Shihepo, Sesilia; Mpofu, Irvin; Petrus, PatriciaThe objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of feeding maize-soybean meal based diets with a tanniferous additive (A. karroo leaf meal) mainly on the fat deposition of broiler chickens under Namibian environmental conditions.treatments were imposed on the finisher stage of maturity. Therefore, research is recommended to test the treatment from day old chickens. Repeated feeding trials on a larger scale is recommended before A. karroo can be safely used by feed manufacturers. The same research should be done with different broiler breeds (indigenous chickens)Item Growth and carcass performance of broiler chickens when maize is replaced with pearl millet under Namibian weather conditions(University of Namibia, 2013) Hafeni, Sesilia; Mpofu, Irvin; Patricia, PetrusThis study was conducted at the poultry units at Neudamm Agricultural Campus of the University of Namibia. Neudamm Agricultural Campus It determined that a successful broiler production is dependent upon supplying the birds with feed ofthe highest achievable quality, in terms of ingredients used, processing procedures applied as well as the form in which the diet is presented to broilers (Arbor Acres, 2009). There was no study done in Namibia to determine the value of the local PM grains as a commercial broiler feed, as compared to maize which is commonly used in broiler chicken diets by broiler commercial operations. The objective of this experiment was to study the performance of commercial broiler chickens fed pearl millet as a replacement of maizeItem Review of the Pattela lock mechanism in the equine passive stay apparatus(University of Namibia, 2019) Mushonga, Borden; Mbiri, Pricilla; Samkange, Alaster; Bishi, Alec S.; Chitate, Frank; Madzingira, Oscar; Kandiwa, ErickItem Preliminary findings of a three-year retrospective study of the dynamics in red-offal condemnation at a cattle abattoir Q in Namibia(University of Namibia, 2019) Kandiwa, Erick; Mbiri, Pricilla; Samkange, Alaster; Bishi, Alec S.; Chitate, Frank; Madzingira, Oscar; Kamwi, Jonathan M.; Mushonga, Borden
