The effect of fresh, photo-activated and distilled cow urine was examined on the hematological parameters of pathogen-induced albino rats using automated hematological analyzer. The albino rats were grouped into 3 (A, B and C) and 2 controls; with each group containing 5 rats. Each animal group was induced with 0.5mL of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi respectively. After 7 days of infection, each animal group was treated with fresh, photo-activated and distilled cow urine for the period of 5 days. The animal group infected with P. aeruginosa died after second day of treatment. The blood samples of the animal were collected for hematological analysis. The parameters taken are; Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Hemoglobin (Hb), White Blood Cell count (WBC), Neutrophil, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophil and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) and Red Blood Cell count (RBC). The result obtained from the analysis showed that all the samples of cow urine used were effective in the treatment of diseases caused by the bacterial pathogens.

Food stuffs such as maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa), and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) are important staple foods in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of storage on food samples in plastic, polythene bag, and refrigerator, putting into consideration the weight and microbial load of the food products before and after storage. The samples were obtain from Oba market and subjected to storage for 28 days, after which isolate of fungi and bacteria were obtained. The results revealed the isolation of Rhizopus spp., Fusarium spp., Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger. Also the total bacteria count ranges from 1 – 48 colony forming unit (CFU). Conclusively, storage condition is important for cereal foods in order to increase the shelf-life of such. This study revealed that refrigeration is preferable for storage of food stuff. It is important to preserve food samples in normal storage condition, therefore refrigeration is recommended for storage of food sample, in order to increase the shelf-life of food products.
