- A study was conducted on 3031 cattle slaughtered in Ibadan over a period of three months to determine the prevalence of rumen impaction with indigestible garbage and evaluate breed, sex, age and some blood indices as risk factors. Thorough antemortem and postmortem examinations were carried out on each of the animals to determine the breed, health status, sex, age and presence of indigestible garbage in the rumen while blood samples were collected and analysed only for animals with indigestible garbage, to determine total serum protein and phosphorus levels. Results showed overall prevalence of rumen impaction was 10.77% and it differed significantly between breeds, but was highest in the Red Bororo (RB). Sex and age had significant influence on the prevalence of rumen impaction. It was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in females than in males and in older animals than in younger ones. Total serum protein and phosphorus levels were significantly lower than reference values in animals with rumen impaction. 2 results 2

- "Nigeria is a country endowed with cities and communities of great resources. Making these cities and communities sustainable in all ramifications, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) act 2004 is one of the legal instruments that has to be adhered to strictly. Initial moves of stakeholders on world concerns on the utilising environmental resources justly called for international conferences from World Summits from Stockholm to Nairobi to Rio and to Johannesburg. These international conferences have set paces for most nations of the world on the need to adopt and implement the concepts and policies of sustainable development. Nigeria was among States in the United Nations World submit where seventeen (17) sustainable development Goals were adopted in September, 2015 in New York, United States of America (USA). These goals are targeted towards eradicating unpleasant social, economic and environmental problems in all nations of the world by year 2030. Goal eleven (11) of the Sustainable Development Goals precisely provides for sustainable cities and communities. This article considers the essence of the Nigerian Environmental Impact Assessment Act to achieving goal eleven of among the seventeen SDGs. The articles considers the conceptual frameworks of both Environmental Impact Assessment and Sustainable development as well as the international frameworks on these concepts. This article further considers the development of EIA and SDGs in Nigeria together with peculiar nature of the country and its cities and community. The provisions of the EIA and other related legal frameworks are examined to harness their essence with achieving the sustainable cities and communities. Impediments to enforcing the provisions of the EIA towards achieving sustainable cities and communities are considered. The article also juxtapose EIA in three jurisdictions with Nigeria’s efforts to implement the EIA provisions with aims of achieving sustainable cities and communities. This articles concludes with observations and recommendations that will enhance enforcement of EIA towards achieving sustainable cities and communities in Nigeria" 1 results 1

- A study was conducted on 4,488 goals in Ibadan, southwest sub-tropic humid zone, over a 4-month period to determine the prevalence of rumen impaction with indigestible garbage and to evaluate breed, sex and age as risk factors. Ante-mortem and post-mortem examinations were carried out on each of the animals to determine the breed, health status, sex, age and presence of indigestible garbage in the rumen. Prevalence of rumen impaction with indigestible garbage was 9.61%. It was significantly (p<0.05) higher in Red Sokoto breed than other breeds. Sex and age were found to have significant influence on the prevalence of rumen impaction. It was significantly higher (p<0.05) in females and older goats than males and younger ones, respectively. 1 results 1

- A study was undertaken to estimate the magnitude of dynamic stresses (MDS) induced in some mature tropical hardwood species during felling operation and their effect on the harvested wood. Five areas in Shasha forest reserve, Osun State, Nigeria were selected as the study sites because of the prevalent high. Two hundred and eighty nine trees represented by nine different species were studied. The species are Afzelia africana, Nauclea diderrichii, Terminalia superba, Khaya ivorensis, and Triplochiton scleroxylon Entandrophragma angolensis, Cordia milleniii, Mansonia altissima and Milicia excelsa. Using a checklist, information were collected on tree factors, terrain of the sites and experience of the operators. During felling of each tree, the duration of impact was estimated. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis. The average content of the green wood ranged from 108% to 147% (dry basis) for all the species. The average impact force ranged from 1.498 X 106N to 7.588 X 106N, while the maximum dynamic stress ranged from 8.38 x 106 N/m2 for Triplochiton scleroxylon (Obeche) to 18.75 x 106N/m2 for Nauclea diderrichii (Opepe). The observed values of dynamic stress are very much higher than the ultimate static stress values for all the species and this will definitely affect the wood quality of the felled trees. 1 results 1
