“…Animals that are subjected to internal stress such as pains due to endogenous production of cyclooxygenases, prostaglandins, thromboxane prostacyclins, substance P, serotonine, dopamine, kallikrein, bradykinin and other factors generated endogenously (Sandhu, 2014). These bring about alarm reaction if the stress factor those not persist for a long time (Biobaku et al, 2016b;Biobaku et al, 2017a).The neuroendocrine mechanism will triggers adjustment of the physiological distortion.The faster the body could adjust to homeostasis mechanisms to counteract the physiological upset, the less the predisposition to disease (Biobaku et al, 2017b).This is because glucocorticoids from the cortex of the adrenal medulla will produce cortisol endogenously. This affects the leucocytes count which will eventually decrease the cell mediated immunity.…”

“…The vegetative and non vegetative part of the ecosystem posses various sources of xenobiotics (NRC, 2001). Some biological and non biologic sources include phytotoxins, zootoxins, mycotoxins and marine toxins (Garg, 2008;Biobaku et al, 2016b). Non biologic sources include edaphic exposure to xenobiotics such as in extraction companies, refineries, drug companies, mining firms, insecticides production.…”

The factors predisposing to diseases in Nigeria, Sub-Saharan was classified basically as animal, environmental, cliental among others. This review was aimed at broadening the horizon of the Veterinarian. These factors were discussed in the light perspective of the peculiarity of Nigeria being a developing country. The write- up also proffered some solutions using organic botanicals agents which are relatively safe in food animals with little residual effect. Some of the plants suggested are: Allium sativm, Curcuma longa, Discorea japonica, Ziginber officinale, Jatropha gossipofolia, Datura spp and Boerhaavia diffusa. Supplements suggested are ascorbic acid, citric acid and Vitamin E. Immunomodulating supplements suggested are interferons, L-carnitine. The immunomodulating and immunostimulating agents suggested could be used in immunocompromised animals due to contemporary predisposing factors to diseases in this geographical region.

Abortifacient pathogens such as bacterial [Brucella spp., Listeria spp., Leptospira interrogans ser., Coxiella burnetii, Campylobacter spp., Anaplasma spp., Chlamydia spp.], mycotic [Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp.], protozoan [Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora spp.], and viral [Blue tongue virus (BTV), Schmallenberg virus (SBV), Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV)] pathogens are challenges for the productive and reproductive performance of ruminants (cattle, sheep, and goats) globally. No comprehensive report on epidemiology, associated risk factors, or economic burden of these infectious pathogens is available for Nigeria. This review estimated the distribution and burden of abortive pathogens in ruminants in Nigeria for the last twenty-two years (2000-2022). Research articles reporting the detection of any of the above-mentioned abortive pathogens in ready-to-slaughter ruminants (RTSR), sick ruminants (SR), and ruminants with abortive history (RWAH) in Nigeria were accessed using different repositories, including Google Scholar, Proquest, PubMed, ResearchGate and Scopus to determine the prevalence, spatial distribution, and associated risk factors. From a total of 140 articles selected for this review, eight bacterial, four viral, two parasitic, and two mycotic infectious agents were reported for Nigeria. This study reveals a prevalence of 28.2% viral agents, 14.43% bacterial pathogens, 14.24% protozoans, and 28.1% fungal agents in the reported tested samples. Brucellosis was the most often reported among bacterial diseases, followed by leptospirosis and listeriosis. PPRV infection was the most common viral disease, followed by BTV. Additionally, two parasitic diseases, neosporosis and toxoplasmosis, and two mycotic diseases, aspergillosis and candidiasis, were reported. In this study, stillbirth and abortion were recorded in 49.2% of sheep with PPRV, 58.95% in goats with Chlamydophila abortus and PPRV, and 6.4% in cattle with Brucella abortus and Histophilus somni infections. Lack of vaccines, open markets, and extensive husbandry systems were among the risk factors associated with different abortive pathogens. This study is a useful tool for researchers and government officers in risk assessment and management of livestock to improve livestock production in Nigeria
