Land- Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Adama Zoungrana, Joseph Issaka Boussim
Land-use intensification alters vegetation structure and composition, with potential consequences for pollinator-dependent ecosystems in tropical regions. However, the distribution and availability of melliferous woody flora across contrasting land use types in West Africa remain poorly studied. This study evaluated melliferous floristic compo(...)

Substitution of Fish Meal with Poultry Intestine Meal and Domestic Fly Larvae (Musca domestica) in the Diet of Juvenile Clarias gariepinus
Badioula Coulibaly1, Halidou Komi2, Armel Djerma3, Nessan Désiré Coulibaly4 & Moussa Zongo5
The use of fishmeal and fish oil as ingredients in fish feed increases production costs and has long-term environmental impacts. This study aims to investigate alternative protein sources to fishmeal in fish feed to reduce production costs. To achieve this, maggot meal and poultry intestine meal were incorporated into feed and administered to(...)

Production and Evaluation of a Forest Litter and Jatropha curcas Cake-Based Biofertilizer Developed through Anaerobic Fermentation
Dagoro Pale, Delwendé Innocent Kiba, Souleymane Bissiri, Cheik Omar Tidiane Compaore, Mahamadi Nikiema, Pierre Christen, Ynoussa Maiga
The excessive use of chemical fertilizers leads to soil degradation and water pollution. Microbial biofertilizers have gained attention for promoting sustainable agriculture while protecting the environment. Fermented Forest Litter (FFL) is an organic fertilizer made by fermenting solid agricultural residues under anaerobiosis. It cont(...)

Acute and subchronic toxicity of aqueous extracts of Combretum micranthum (G. Don) and Gardenia sokotensis (Hutch) having ethnobotanical uses in Burkina Faso
OUEDRAOGO Elisabeth,*, ZABRE Genevieve, TINDANO Basile, YOUGBARE Wendyam Jöelle Raymonde, OWONA Pascal Emmanuel, BAYALA Balé
Medicinal plants are the major sources of drugs used to treat diseases. Scientific studies were performed on some plants, but few data are available on the medicinal plants used to manage bone diseases in Burkina Faso. This study was conducted to identify medicinal plants used in the treatment of osteoporosis and investigate the acute and subc(...)
