“…Table 2 depicts the mineral composition (mg/kg) of red soko and green soko. The most abundant mineral in both red soko and green soko was potassium followed by calcium, sodium and magnesium but low concentration of zinc, manganese, lead, copper and selenium were found in the two Celosia species [23,41]. This was in accordance with the report of Ayodele and Olajide [42] for Celosia argentea leaves.…”

Chemical profile of leafy vegetables enable researchers to affirm the constituents present in them as well as knowing their possible usefulness for consumption and medicinal applications. Red and green soko were obtained, rinsed in water and cut into smaller pieces, air dried, grounded and sieved to give 40mm mesh size powder. The powdered samples were analyzed for proximate composition and mineral contents using standard methods. The antioxidant properties such as reducing power, ferrous ion chelating activity 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and 2,2azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) of samples were determined. Red soko had the higher value of crude lipid (2.36 ± 0.06%), ash content (16.45 ±0.15%), protein (17.06 ±0.06%), and dry matter (89.74 ±0.24%) while green soko had higher value of moisture content (10.86±0.33%), crude fibre (13.66±0.20%), carbohydrate (54.81.81±0.21%) and energy value (297.38±0.89 Kcal/100g). Red soko had the higher values of Mg (25.16 ± 0.22 mg/kg), Fe (2.86±0.05 mg/kg), Zn (0.10 ± 0.02 mg/kg), Mn (0.56 ±0.08 mg/kg), and Cu (0.20 ±0.01 mg/kg) while green soko had higher value of Ca (180.16 ±1.00 mg/kg), Na (73.44 ±0.00 mg/kg), K (694.14 ± 0.96 mg/kg), Pb (0.23 ±0.00 mg/kg) and Se (0.20 ±0.03 mg/kg). Green soko had higher value of ferric reducing antioxidant power (0.36±0.04%), Fe 2+ Chelating Activity (4.46±0.09%), DPPH radical scavenging activity (11.75±0.74%) and ABTS +

To investigate the effects of claw lesion types and bone mineral density on lameness in boars, the data of claw lesion score, gait score, and bone mineral density, measured by a Miniomin ultrasound bone densitometer, were collected from a total of 739 Duroc boars. Firstly, we discovered that the prevalence of claw lesions was as high as 95.26% in boars. The percentage of lameness of boars with SWE was higher than those with other claw lesions. Meanwhile, the results showed that the probability of lameness was higher in boars with lower bone mineral density (p < 0.05). Logistic regression models, including variables of boar age, body weight, serum mineral level, and housing type, were used to identify the influencing factors of bone mineral density in this study. The results found that bone mineral density increases with age before reaching a maximum value at 43 months of age, and begins to decrease after 43 months of age. Elevated serum Ca levels were significantly associated with an increase in bone mineral density (p < 0.05). Aside from the above findings, we also made an interesting discovery that boars in the individual pen model significantly increased bone mineral density compared to those in the individual stall model. In conclusion, claw lesions and bone mineral density were significantly associated with lameness. Age, serum Ca, and housing type are the potential influencing factors for bone mineral density in boars.

“…Te nitrates, followed by the oxalates, had the highest decline when fermentation techniques were included in the processing. It is desirable that the two compounds are low in foods due to their negative efects on the bioavailability of micronutrients [38]. It is also desirable that the techniques retain the physical attributes, such as the colour of the products.…”

Seasonality in the availability of cowpea leaves has often limited their utilization and thus the promotion of preservation techniques that convert the vegetables into storable and stable forms. The recommendations for the use of highly mechanized techniques in preservation are brought into question due to limited affordability among resource-constrained households that prefer less costly approaches. Therefore, this study used statistical techniques of principal component analysis to comparatively evaluate the trends of physicochemical quality of the two diverse approaches of processing cowpea leaves. The study evaluated dehydrated cowpea leaves of different processing techniques from farmer groups and optimally processed using modern techniques for nutritional composition, phytochemical compounds, and colour changes. Sun drying techniques that excluded blanching had the least content of beta-carotene and ascorbic acid, 2.65 ± 0.95 and 21.80 ± 1.24 mg/100 g dry weight basis (dwb), respectively, accompanied by the most significant ( p < 0.001 ) deterioration of colour (7.74 ± 3.49) than techniques that included. Whereas the antinutrients declined, the difference did not significantly differ ( p > 0.05 ) based on preservation techniques. With factor analysis determining optimal nutritional quality for cowpea leaves at 8 weeks after emergence, sun drying had the highest loss of beta-carotene and ascorbic acid, 66.7–80.1% and 53.7%–58.3%, respectively ( p < 0.001 ), whereas mineral leaching, reduction of antinutrients, and colour changes were more pronounced in dehydration techniques incorporating fermentation as pretreatment. For the traditional preservation techniques, increasing retention of minerals resulted in aggravated losses of beta-carotene and ascorbic acid, whereas in the mechanized techniques, this was not the case. In concluding that the mechanized techniques have a better combination of attenuating losses of micronutrients, the study recommends that in promoting the utilization of traditional preservation techniques, low-cost processes like steam blanching can help improve the nutritional quality of the product.
