Draft genome assemblies of 12 strains isolated from the North West province of South Africa.

We present draft genome sequences of 12 strains from feces isolated from cow rectums in the North West province, South Africa. The genome sizes ranged from 4.43 to 5.

Optimum inclusion levels of Leucaena leucocephala pasture leaf-meal on growth, haematology and physiological performance of growing pigs.

This study was conducted to evaluate the optimum inclusion levels of Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal on growth, haematology, and physiological performance of pigs. A total of 16 grower pigs comprising of 12 females and 4 castrated males weighing an average of 13.5 kg were assigned into a completely randomized experimental layout, subjected to 4 inclusion levels of leaf meal (0, 50, 100, and 150 g/kg DM).

Effects of brooding periods on performance of poults and grow-out small bronze turkeys in hot humid tropical environment.

A study was conducted to determine the effects of varied brooding regimes on the performance of small bronze turkey poults and their grow-outs. One hundred and twenty (n = 120) poults were subjected to four brooding regimes of 0-5, 0-6, 0-7, and 0-8 weeks, designated as T, T, T, and T. Each brooding regime (treatment) was applied to 3 replicates of 10 poults/replicate in a completely randomized design.
