- Economic development aims at improving the wellbeing and quality of life of a community by creating and/or retaining jobs, supporting or growing incomes and the tax base. Free trade policies which create a high level of competition in the open market are necessary aids for economic development. On its part, Antitrust is a statutory and jurisprudential provision, through which public authorities preserve general welfare by preventing firms from limiting competition, creating monopolies, and charging excessive prices for their products. It aims to ensure the existence of competitive markets and guarantees that firms operating in the free market economy do not restrict or distort competition in a way to prevent the market from functioning optimally. From the foregoing, this paper examined the Nigerian antitrust regime and its import in the economic advancement of the Nigerian economy. The paper found that in developing countries including Nigeria, there is a paucity of antitrust legislation designed to protect consumers, promote free trade and commerce, and prevent unwholesome and unethical trade practices. With a well operated antitrust framework, Nigeria s economic growth will accelerate and gain better stability as well as increase consumer protection. 2 results 2

- "Background: Reproductive health is a key foundation for strategies to address health security. It constitutes a vital element in the vision to achieve improved health, quality of life and well-being of individuals and families and the realisation of national economic goals. Developing a blue print for health security in reproductive health matters may contribute to closing the equity gaps in Nigeria by the year 2050. Methods: Gaps in reproductive health were identified through situation analysis of selected reproductive health indices. SWOT analysis was also conducted to outline areas of strengths and opportunities, in addition to weaknesses and threats. Key reproductive health indicators were forecasted for 2050. Results: Despite all efforts, gaps still exist in the country’s reproductive health indices including maternal, perinatal, contraceptive, abortion and gynaecological. Most pregnancy-related deaths are linked largely to preventable causes. If unaddressed, these challenges would undermine gains from previous interventions and responses from governmental and non-governmental organizations and pose serious threats to the nation’s health security. Conclusions: The country must be committed to reproductive health agenda that is focused on the International Conference on Population and Development goal in its bid to achieve health security by the year 2050. Due considerations must be accorded to emerging reproductive health issues like men’s reproductive health and their involvement intheir partners’ reproductive health, and the reproductive health needs of the aged, people with disabilities and those in humanitarian settings. Further in achieving health security for Nigerians by the year 2050, the principles underlying the reproductive health policy of the country must be upheld. These include equity, right based approach, gender and age responsiveness, cultural sensitivity and continuum of care amongst others. 1 results 1
- "Four diets were formulated to study the influence of varying crude protein levels on the performance, egg quality, serum and haematological characteristics at the first phase of laying cycle of sixty Bovan Nera laying birds that were randomly allotted to dietary treatments. The four experimental diets had five replicates each and three birds per replicate. Diet 1 contained 14% crude protein (CP), while diet 2 contained 15% CP, diets 3 and 4 contained 16% and 17% CP respectively. The experimental birds were fed for 10 weeks and the data collected were statistically analysed. Apparent variations recorded for all the performance characteristics such as Egg number, Hen-day production, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and weight gain were significantly different (p < 0.05). The best FCR value were recorded by birds fed 17% CP (3.45), while the highest weight gain mean value were also recorded by birds fed 17% CP value. Findings indicated a direct relationship between dietary crude protein values and performance. " 1 results 1
- "This study assessed three commonly-available commercial catfish feed brands on growth, survival and nutrient utilization of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings under controlled conditions; providing information on the integrity and quality of some of the feeds in the market. C. gariepinus fingerlings (3.83± 0.22g) were fed to satiation twice daily at 9.00hr and 18.00hr with 2mm pellet size of three commercial diets scripted TD, TT, and TV in concrete tanks. Growth performance and nutrients utilization parameters were measured and calculated; water quality parameters were controlled using a partial flow-through system. ANOV A showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the mean weight gain, specific growth rate, survival rate, food conversion rate, nitrogen metabolism and protein efficiency ratio. TV had the most significant value for mean weight gain (41.54 ± 4.09g), specific growth rate (1.65 ± 0.04g/day), feed conversion rate (0.7), nitrogen metabolism (951.91), and protein efficiency ratio (2.57) with 90.00 ± 5.0% survival rate; TD had significantly highest survival rate (92.50 ± 4.51%) with mean weight gain 36.77 ± 0.48g. Proximate analysis of TD, TT and TV revealed that macronutrients therein significantly different from the brands' claim, except TD. This study revealed that, for fast fish growth on less expensive feed desired by catfish farmers, commercial catfish feed brand tagged TV, was the best, giving a better growth performance and nutrient utilization, at 48.3% CP, 6.01% Fat, and 3.03% CF. 1 results 1
- A total of 76 animal experiments, involving young Nigerian Dwarf Sheep, were conducted to investigate the growth response to effects of varying levels of dietary energy. The studies also embraced digestibility trials and carcass evaluation. Results obtained appear to indicate that between the ages of 3 - 6 months, a daily intake of 107.1 kcal metabolizable energy was required for maintenance while from 6 - 9 months of age the requirement increased to 129.2 kcal per day. A growth requirement of 215 kca1 ME/day/W0.73kg and 1387 kcal ME/dayW0.73kg was obtained for animals between 3 - 6 months and 6 - 9 months respectively. An analysis of the pooled results seems to indicate that 134.04 kca1 ME per day and 647kca1/ME/day/W0.73kg was the requirement for maintenance and increase of 1 kg. live-weight respectively. Studies on digestibility of feeds revealed that the effects of variations in the type of ration on digestibility was less marked than the effects due to age of the animals. Crude fibre digestibility coefficient for the basal diet was about 68.04% for the older animals while the corresponding values for the younger animals ranged between 54.4% and 56.0%. values for the mixed diet and concentrate ration ranged from 68.3% to 77.45% and 71.3% to 79.5% respectively with the older animals while the corresponding values for the younger animals were in the range of 58:01% to 60.59% and 63:8% to 65.02%. Results of animal performance indicated that younger animals are capable of faster growth than older ones but the effect of low plane of nutrition as indicated by growth rates is more adversely felt by the younger animals. Thus the mean daily weight gains of the older animals were 79.6g, 83.8g, 82.2g, 55.7g for treatments A, B, C and D respectively while the corresponding values for the younger animals were 97.7g, 71.8g, 45.7g and 21.7g respectively. The carcass evaluation showed that dressing percentages and percentage flesh increase with age. At six months and in all treatments, the range was between 34.3% to 43.8% while at 9 months it rose to 49.7% to 60.8%. Percentage of flesh in the carcass has been shown to range from 62.6% to 66.2% at birth with a possible increase of about 0.7% to 0.9% per kg live-weight gain. The results of this study have shown that the younger animals are capable of faster growth and respond faster to high plane of nutrition but the effect of low plane of nutrition as indicated by growth rates of all animals on the lower energy level diets, is more adversely felt by the younger animals. It is to be noted that the early weaned lambs cannot survive on pasture alone. The results also were discussed in terms of the economics of production. 1 results 1

- Ammonium sulphate (AS) is widely used as a feed additive for animals. It is generally used to provide supplemental sulphur to the diet, particularly in diets containing non-protein nitrogen sources. This study assessed the growth and reproductive performance of Yankasa rams fed diets supplemented with different levels of ammonium sulphate. Ammonium sulphate was added at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5g/kg of the concentrate diet as T0, T0.5, T1.0 and T1.5 respectively. Each treatment had four replicates while semen was collected once from all replicates in the treatments. Rams were fed experimental diets for 70 days. The parameters determined were: feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, mass activity, motility, livability, sperm volume, sperm concentration, scrotal circumference and length. There were significant differences in the feed intake, body weight gain and the feed conversion ratio of the West African dwarf rams fed the supplemented diets. The rams fed diet T1.0 had the highest feed intake and body weight gain of 403.75g/day and 195.83g/day respectively above other treatments. The FCR in T1.0 was the lowest at 2.11 below 6.68 (T0) There was significant difference in the sperm concentration (x10(6)spz/ml) with T1.5 (160.25) having the highest while T0 (136.00) had the lowest. The total sperm ejaculate follow the same trend as sperm concentration with the lowest value recorded in T0 (98.95) while T1.5 (151.65) had the highest value. There were no significant differences in the values recorded for the scrotal circumference and length, however, scrotal weight, total testicular weight, scrotal length and scrotal circumference values in T1.5 was numerically higher than other treatments. It can be concluded that inclusion of ammonium sulphate in the feed of rams at 1.0g/kg enhanced the efficiency of feed utilization and improved the semen quality positively. 1 results 1

- Background: Breastfeeding is known to be the biological norm. Despite this, many women wean their babies because of perceived insufficient breast milk production. Mothers are sometimes advised to increase their fluid intake in the hope that this could improve breast milk production. The effect of extra fluid on human breast milk production is not well established, however. Objectives: To assess the effect of extra fluid for breastfeeding mothers on milk production/supply and infant growth. Search methods We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group’s Trials Register (27 April 2014), MEDLINE (1966 to 27 April 2014), African Journals Online (27 April 2014) and reference lists of retrieved studies. Selection criteria: Randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised controlled trials on extra fluids for breastfeeding mothers. Data collection and analysis Two review authors independently assessed the potential studies for inclusion and assessed trial quality. Main results: Five trial reports were retrieved using the search strategies. Four trials were excluded. We did not identify any randomised controlled trials for inclusion but we included one quasi-randomised study (involving 210 women) that evaluated the effect of extra fluid for breastfeeding mothers on breastfeeding outcomes. The study was considered to be at a high risk of bias. Only one of this review’s primary outcomes was reported (breast milk production (as defined by the trialist)) but data were not in a suitable format for analysis (no standard deviations or standard errors were reported). The trialist reported that advising women to drink extra fluids did not improve breast milk production. No data were reported for the review’s other primary outcomes: satisfactory weight gain in the infant (as defined by the trialists) and duration of exclusive breastfeeding (months). Similarly, no data were reported for any of this review’s secondary outcomes: duration of any breastfeeding; mother’s satisfaction with breastfeeding; hydration in mother; dehydration in the infant; or episodes of gastrointestinal illness. 1 results 1
