Iron toxicity is a major constraint for rice production, particularly in lowland ecosystems where reduced iron (Fe[II]) accumulates due to activities by iron-reducing bacteria (IRB). This study investigated the dominant cultivable IRB strains in three iron-rich rice-growing areas of Burkina Faso: Moussodougou, Tiefora, and Kou Valley. Soil Fe((...)

Effect of rice husk ash on physical, mechanical, and hydric properties of clay-based geopolymer
Soungalo Ouattara, Youssouf Sawadogo, Moustapha Sawadogo, Brahima Sorgho, Mohamed Seynou, Philippe Blanchart, Lamine Zerbo
This study explores the production of geopolymer using a mixture of rice husk ash (RHA), clay and a local alkaline activator. To emulate previous research, the bricks are formulated for thermal curing at 60 °C for 24 h. The formulation of geopolymers incorporates varying mass percentages (0 %, 5 %, 10 % and 15 %) of RHA. The results of physica(...)

Valorization of mango by‑products: fortification of mugudugu using mango peel and kernels
Wendkouni Marguerite Bamogo, Wendmintiri Jeanne d’Arc Kabré, Abel Tankoano* , Mah Alima Esther Traoré, Olivier Banhoro, Charles Parkouda and Aly Savadogo
This study investigates the fortification of mugudugu, a cereal by-product, with powdered mango peel flour (MPF),
mango kernel flour (MKF), and their mixtures, aiming to valorize mango by-products abundant in Burkina Faso.
Substitution of millet in mugudugu was performed at incremental levels of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% by MPF, MKF,
or a 1:1(...)

Availability and quality of raw materials used in intensive poultry farming in Burkina Faso: The case of the city of Ouagadougou
Zampou Yasmine Jessica Irène*1,2, Gnanda Bila Isidore2, Sanou Sita2, Zare Yacouba2, Traore Boureima1, Ky Inoussa3, Zongo Moussa1
Feed, especially quality feed, is one of the major challenges facing intensive peri-urban poultry farming in Burkina Faso. The aim of this study was to assess the availability and the quality of poultry feed in the city of Ouagadougou. Indeed, a survey was conducted at the main livestock markets in this city to inventory the raw materials (org(...)

L'orientation aux métiers de l'information et de la communication au Burkina Faso
Doumbo Gautier YÉ
Les métiers de l’information et de la communication remplissent une fonction sociale importante. Ils confèrent à l’individu une certaine identité communicationnelle qui, en notre sens, est une résultante de différents types d’identités : biologique, psychologique, sociale, professionnelle etc. En communication, l’identité n’est pas neutre.

Introduction: The bacterial etiology of meningitis in Burkina Faso is dominated by Neisseria meningitidis (Nm), Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) and Haemophilus influenzae (Hi), which are used epidemically. Low culture yields make it difficult to obtain data on the susceptibility profile of these pathogens. In the absence of such data, this stud(...)

Background
The World Health Organization recommends insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) as one of the main interventions to control malaria spread. The leading driver of this intervention is use of ITN; however, socio-demographic characteristics factors, access and possession of ITN could also influence its usage. Therefore, the present(...)
