A field experiment was carried out at Arab Elawamr Research Station<br />Farm, Oil Crops Department, Assiut Governorate, Agriculture Research Center<br />(ARC), Egypt, during the summer of 2013 and 2014 seasons. This work aimd to<br />study the evaluation of some peanut genotypes under two planting methods and<br />different fertilization levels cultivated in sandy calcareous soil. The experiment<br />was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) using split-split-plot<br />arrangement with three replicates. The two planting methods (Farming on the<br />furrows 60 cm apart and Farming on the terraces each terrace contain two rows<br />60 cm apart) were assigned to the main plots. The sub – plots were allocated to<br />three peanut genotypes (Giza 6, Sohag 104 and Sohag 110), while the three fertilization<br />combination (20 m3 organic/ fed, 10 m3 organic / fed with 50% of the<br />recommended NPK and 100% recommended NPK ) were placed on sub-subplots.<br />The results show that the studied planting methods had a significant effect<br />on most studied traits. Here too, studied genotypes varied significantly in all<br />studied traits except seed and oil yields in the second season. Moreover, all studied<br />traits reacted significantly to studied fertilization levels in the two growing<br />seasons. Also, cultivated Giza 6 genotype by terraces method (M2) received F2<br />fertilization treatment gained the highest mean values (640.0 and 313.7 kg fed-1)<br />of seed and oil yields, respectively, in the first season while in the second season<br />the highest mean values (818.0 and 396.7 kg fed-1) for seed and oil yields, respectively,<br />were obtained from cultivated Sohage 110 genotype using furrow(<br />M1) planting methods subjected to F2 fertilization treatment.

This study was conducted at Agronomy Department Experimental Farm, Agriculture Faculty, Assiut University during 2012 / 2013 and 2013/2014 seasons to study the response of two durum wheat cultivars to irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilizer splitting. Three experiments each season were done. Each experiment was subjected to one irrigation level (100, 75 and 50 % of irrigation requirement). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in split - plot arrangement with three replicates. Nitrogen fertilizer splitting (2 and 4 times) were arranged in main - plots and the wheat cultivars (Beni-suef 1 and Agaseed 3) were assigned in sub–plots. The obtained results showed that studied irrigation levels, nitrogen fertilizer splitting and cultivars had a significant effect on all studied traits in the two growing seasons. Here too, the first and second order interactions had a significant influence on the most studied traits in both seasons. Moreover, the highest mean values of grain yield (29.07 ardab fed<sup>-1</sup>) and NUE (58.13 kg grain/kg N) applied in both seasons were obtained from Beni-suef1 cultivar subjected to I<sub>1</sub> irrigation level and received nitrogen fertilizer at four splits.

A field experiment was conducted in the Agricultural Research Station at Arab El-Awamer, Assiut Governorate, during the two growing seasons of 2014 and 2015 to investigate the effect of NPK fertilization in newly reclaimed soil on grain sorghum productivity. The randomized complete block design using split-split-plot with four replications was arrangement, where nitrogen fertilizer rates (100, 120 and 140 kg N/fed. i.e. N<strong><sub>1</sub></strong>, N<strong><sub>2</sub></strong> and N<strong><sub>3</sub></strong>, respectively) were allocated in the main plots, while phosphorus fertilizer rates (22.5 and 30 kg P<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>O<strong><sub>5</sub></strong>/fed. i.e. P<strong><sub>1</sub></strong> and P<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>, respectively) were assigned in the sub-plots and potassium fertilizer rates (24 and 36 kg K<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>O/fed. i.e. K<strong><sub>1</sub></strong> and K<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>, respectively) were fixed in the sub-sub-plots. The grains of sorghum Hybrid 305 was sown on 13<sup>th</sup> and 17<sup>th</sup> June in the first and second seasons, respectively. The plot area was 12 m<strong><sup>2</sup></strong> including 4 ridges of 60 cm apart with 4 m length. The results could be summarized as the following:
- The plant height in both seasons and the panicle length, 1000 grain weight and grain yield/fed. in the second season only, were increased with increasing N fertilizer rates up to 120 kg N/fed., as well as the highest mean values for panicle width, grains weight/panicle in both season and panicle length, 1000 grain weight and grain yield/fed. in the first season were recorded by 100 kg N/fed.
- Also, the mean values for all the studied traits were increased by increasing P fertilizer rates in both seasons.
- Here too, the lowest K fertilizer rate (24 kg K<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>O/fed.) gave the highest mean values of grains weight/panicle, 1000-grain weight and grain yield/fed. in the first season, while the highest K fertilizer rate (36 kg K<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>O/fed.) gave the highest mean values for the same traits in the 2<sup>nd</sup> season.
- In general, the first order interaction either N<strong><sub>3</sub></strong>xP<strong><sub>1</sub></strong> or N<strong><sub>3</sub></strong>xP<strong><sub>2</sub></strong> and N<strong><sub>3</sub></strong>xK<strong><sub>1</sub></strong> or N<strong><sub>3</sub></strong>xK<strong><sub>2</sub></strong> as well as P1xK1 or P1xK2 interaction treatments gave the lowest mean values for all the studied traits.
- Also, the maximum grain yield/fed. (21.46 and 22.78 ard.) were recorded by N<strong><sub>1</sub></strong>xP<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>xK<strong><sub>1</sub></strong> and N<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>xP<strong><sub>2</sub></strong>xK<strong><sub>1</sub></strong> interaction treatments in the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> seasons, respectively.

This study was undertaken to determine the effect of flaxseed powder and goat meat products fortified with flaxseed powder on the quantity of liver enzymes, lipid fraction and kidney function of rats suffering from hyperlipidemia. Two main experimental groups used in this experiment. The first group (6 rats) fed on basal diet as a control negative, while the second one (54 rats) was treated with cholesterol in cholic acid (2:1 2.1gm/group) to arise hyperlipidemia levels of experimental animals. Then, the second main group was divided into nine subgroups. Subgroup (1) (6 rats) fed on basal diet as positive control group. Subgroups (2 and 3) fed on diet containing 10% and 20% row goat meat, respectively. Subgroups (4 and 5) fed on diet containing 10% and 20% flaxseed powder, respectively. Subgroups (6 and 7) fed on diet containing 10% and 20% burger, respectively. Subgroups (8 and 9) fed on diet containing 10% and 20% meat loaves, respectively.
The positive control group induced defectiveness in all parameters. Feeding rats with diets containing the two levels from flaxseeds powder, row goat meat and goat meat products fortified with flaxseed powder led to significant decrease in serum cholesterol, triglycerides (p<0.001), low density lipoprotein (p<0.01), uric acid (p<0.001), urea nitrogen (p<0.001), creatinine (p<0.001) and liver enzymes ASAT (p<0.001) and ALAT (p<0.001), while high density lipoprotein increased significantly (p< 0.05) as compared to the positive control group

10.21608/ajas.2016.2756
This study was carried out to evaluate the chemical composition, functional properties and antioxidant activity of composite flours made from wheat flour and some legume flours. Legume flours were prepared from defatted soybean, soaked sweet lupine and roasted fenugreek. Composite flours were made from wheat flour (72% extraction rate) and legume flour. The ratio of wheat flour to soy or lupine flour were 90, 80, 70: 10, 20 30 while, that of wheat flour to fenugreek flour were 95, 90, 85: 5, 10, 15; respectively. Chemical composition of composite flours indicated higher protein, crude fiber and ash contents than that of wheat flour. These component were increased as the portion of legume flour was raise in composite flour. Protein, crude fiber and ash contents of the composite flours from 70% wheat and 30% soy or 30% lupine flour were increased by 61.89 and 57.56% for protein, 135.5, and 128.8% for crude fiber and 280.9 and 134.9% for ash comparing to their original contents in wheat flour; respectively. In addition, composite flour exhibited superiority functional properties, higher phenolics content and antioxidant activity than wheat flour. Slight increases were observed in phytic acid in composite flours from wheat-soy and wheat-fenugreek while the phytic acid decreased in wheat-lupine flour blend. The physical, nutritional and sensorial characterization of bread made from composite flours will be reporting in the next publication.

10.21608/ajas.2016.2758
The purpose of this work was to study the effect of different moisture contents (12, 14, 16 and 18%) of conditioned hulled and hull-less barley grains prior to milling on extraction rate, color and characteristics of flours. Flour extraction rate was decreased as the tempering moisture of grains prior to milling increased. In all conditioning treatments, the flour yield was lower in hulled than in hull-less variety. The flour color was significantly improved (become white) as the conditioning moisture of hull-less barley grains before milling increased, while the hulled barley showed slight improving. The chemical composition of flours including protein, fat, crude fiber, ash, pentosan, β-glucan, bond and total phenolic compound and phytic acid contents showed decreasing, whereas starch, reducing sugar and free phenolics contents were raised as the conditioning moisture of grains prior to milling in both varieties increased. A slight raise in solubility of protein and starch with substantially increasing in the solubility of pentosan and β-glucan was observed in all flours from both barley varieties as the tempering moisture of grains before milling increased. The solubility of β-glucan was higher in flours from hulled than that corresponding flours from hull-less variety and this reflected the higher values of relative viscosity of flour water extract from the former than the latter. The Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) measurements for the flours obtained from hull and hull-less barley indicated that the values for pasting temperature, time to gelatinization, time to peak, peak viscosity, trough viscosity and final viscosity were decreased as the moisture content of barley grains prior to milling increased.

10.21608/ajas.2016.2759
The purpose of this study was to increase the nutritional value and health benefits of mayonnaise made by using peanuts and sesame oils. In this study, samples of peanuts and sesame oils were analyzed to measure fatty acid compositions and to evaluate the effects of heating time at (180°C ± 5°C) up to 16 hours on the oxidative stability by UV-spectrum. The sensorial properties such as (general shape, smell, color, taste, texture, smoothness, overall acceptance) were studied for the mayonnaise made by different oils. Quantitatively, the percentage of fatty acids in peanuts and sesame oils were (9.94–12.11%) for palmitic acid, (32.88–47.60%) linoleic acid, (0.08–4.99%) linolenic acid, (3.97–5.77%) stearic acid, (30.60–41.07%) oleic acid, (ND–1.93%) arachidic acid, (0.09–0.22%) palmitoleic acid, (0.43–1.31%) gadoleic acid, (0.61–4.16%) behenic acid, (ND–1.95%) legnoceric acid, and (0.03–0.09%) for myristic acid. The UV spectrum at 200-400 nm showed obviously difference between peanut and sesame oils. The main difference of both oils spectrum was between 256 and 310 nm, while peanut oil had a small peak in this region (17 % of total peanut oil peaks area). The sesame oil had a high peak in such region (58 % of total sesame oil peaks area). According to the sensorial evaluation results, it could be demonstrated that mayonnaise made by using peanut oil was acceptable. These sensorial results could be considered in the manufacturing processes.

10.21608/ajas.2016.2762
During 2014 and 2015 seasons, Superior grapevines pruned to leave five vine loads namely 62, 72, 82, 92 and 102 eyes/vine and/ or spraying citric acid at 0.0 to 0.4% three times at growth start, just after berry setting and three weeks later.
The target was elucidating the effect of various vine loads and concentrations of citric acid on bud behavior, vine nutritional status, yield and berries quality.
Increasing vine loads from 62 to 102 eyes/vine caused a gradual promotion on fruiting buds%, leaf area, pruning wood weight, cane thickness, chlorophylls a & b, total chlorophylls, percentages of N, P, K and Mg, berry setting%, yield expressed in weight (kg.) and number of clusters/ vine, cluster compactness, cluster weight and dimensions, T.S.S.%, T.S.S/acid and reducing sugars% .Moreover, it caused a gradual reduction on bud burst%, bud fertility%, main shoot length, number of leaves/shoot, wood ripening coefficient, shot berries%, berry weight and dimensions, juice% and titratable acidity%. All the previous parameters except shot berries% and titratable acidity were gradually enhanced with the increasing concentrations of citric acid. Behavior of buds was unaffected by citric acid treatments.
The best results with regard to yield and berries quality of Superior grapevines grown under Minia region conditions were obtained by leaving 102 eyes per vine (on the basis of nine fruiting cane X ten eyes plus six renewal spurs X two eyes) during winter pruning plus spraying citric acid at 0.2% three times

This study was carried out during 2014 and 2015 seasons to examine the effect of three levels of fruiting spur length (two, three or four eyes/ spur) and four concentrations of seaweed extract (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4%) on the percentages of bud burst and fruiting buds, growth, vine nutritional status, yield and berries quality of Early sweet grapevines grown under Minia region conditions.
Increasing fruiting spur length from two to four eyes resulted in a gradual reduction on bud burst%, leaf area, berry setting%, yield, cluster weight and dimensions, shot berries% and total acidity%, while fruiting buds%, shoot length, number of leaves / shoot, percentages of N, P, K, Mg and Ca, berry weight and dimensions, T.S.S%, total sugars % and T.S.S./acid ratio were progressively enhanced. Foliar application of seaweed extract at 0.05% to 0.4% resulted in stimulating all the investigated characteristics except shot berries% and total acidity% over the check treatment. The effect was in proportional to the increase in concentrations of seaweed extract. All the studied parameters were unaffected by increasing concentrations of seaweed extract from 0.2 to 0.4%.
For promoting the yield of Early Sweet grapevines quantitatively, it is suggested to prune the vines leaving 30 fruiting spurs x two eyes/ each besides spraying seaweed extract three times at 0.2%. Pruning to leave15 fruiting spurs x four eyes/ each plus spraying seaweed extract three times at 0.2% gave the best results with regard to quality of the berries

10.21608/ajas.2017.2766
There is a lack of information about the causes leading to misshapen navel formation which obviously flourishes in young bearing navel oranges whether under arid or moderate conditions. Thirty “Washington” navel oranges at the age of 4 years old were treated on May 1<sup>st</sup> with 3 different deprivation regimes of Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K) and 2 ringing positions at the bearing branches to investigate the role of the increase of N and K leaf content, and carbohydrate availability on the incidence of misshapen navel disorder (MND). Either nutrient deprivation treatments or ringing processes remarkably reduced such disorder during two seasons 2013 and 2014. N leaf content increase was found to have a strong positive coefficient correlation with MND. Moreover, N deprivation for one month was the only treatment that didn’t cause consistent change in any fruit characteristic. Thus, the present study revealed that N deprivationwas the most effective treatment on mitigating incidence of MND.

This study was carried out to assess the effect of raw benne seeds (RBS) (<em>Sesamum indicum)</em> basal diets with or without lysine supplementation on carcass and meat characteristics of broiler chickens in an 8-week feeding trial. Raw benne seeds was incorporated into the diets at 15% and 30% while lysine was incorporated at 0.25% and 0.5% thus 7 diets were formulated as: T0 = Control; (No raw benne seeds and lysine); T1 = 15% RBS + 0% lysine, T2 = 15% RBS + 0.25% lysine; T3 = 15% RBS = 0.5% lysine; T4 = 30% RBS + 0% lysine, T5 = 30% RBS + 0.25 lysine; T6 = 30% RBS + 0.5 lysine. Total of 140 unsexed broiler chicks of Marshall strain were randomly allotted into 7 dietary groups, each group replicated 4 times at 5 birds per replicate. Fasted live, dressed carcass, and primal cuts weights as well as their percentages with exception of the back at T6 all reduced significantly (P<0.05) in carcasses of birds fed 30% RBS than those fed 15% RBS with or without lysine supplementation up to 0.5%. There was significant (p<0.05) increase in cooking loss, thermal shortening and shear force values, while water holding capacity and cooking yield decreased (p<0.05) in meat of birds fed 30% RBS with or without lysine. Sensory characteristics were significantly (p<0.05) higher in meat of birds fed 15% RBS with or without lysine supplementation than birds fed 30% RBS. Overall acceptability was higher (p<0.05) in meat from birds fed 15% RBS with T2 having the highest (p<0.05) acceptability score. The best significant improvements in the carcass and meat was in birds fed 15% RBS supplemented with 0.5% lysine, while meat acceptability was higher in those fed 15% RBS with 0.25 lysine supplementation.

The present study was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Grmat Ali, College of Agriculture, University of Basra, Iraq, during the agricultural season of 2013-2014. The aim was to study the effect of covering soil surface by black plastic and two levels of irrigation either adding water at 60% or 100% of field capacity. As well as the effect of three levels of nitrogen ( 0, 30, and 60 mg N kg<sup>-1</sup> ) and three levels of phosphorus (0, 40 , and 80 mg p kg<sup>-1</sup>). Pots divided into two groups, with and without soil coverage. Pots were planted with ten corn grains with maintain soil moisture at field capacity till germination and seedling coloring, number of seedling thinned to five. Plants harvested after 60 days from planting, and were dried and weighted. Plant samples were analyzed for nitrogen and phosphorus.
Results showed that coverage treatments had increased dry matter of corn shoots and the uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus. The results also showed the superiority of irrigation at 100% field capacity in comparison with 60% of field capacity. Increasing levels of nitrogen and phosphorus caused significant increase in dry weight, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and their uptake.

Sugarcane (cv. C 9) cultivated in three governorates of upper Egypt (El- Menia, Assiut, Quena) were sampled to assess the occurrence and characteristic of the endophytic <em>G. diazotrophicus</em> isolated from tissues of plants, as well as to determine its abundance in tissues and rhizosphere soil. The 14 endophytic isolates obtained from tissues (roots and stem buds) showed phenotypic and biochemical characteristics identical to those internationally reported in Bergey’s Manual of Systemic Bacteriology (2005). No variation were recorded in cell morphology of isolates, or colony characteristic and pigmentation, or physiological traits due to area of plantation or to N - fertilization scheme practiced. The N<sub>2 </sub>- fixing activity of the isolated strains ranged from 12.2:17.6 mg N/ g sucrose consumed from culture media (LGI). The enumeration, by the MPN technique on LGI semisolid medium, for the endophytic cells in tissues of sugarcane grown in Assiut Exptl. Farm of faculty of agriculture, recorded mean numbers of 2.0 – 15.4 × 10<sup>5</sup>/ g tissues, whereas mean estimated rhizosphere cells ranged from 2.6 – 16 × 10<sup>4</sup>/ g of rhizosphere soil.

Egypt is one of the countries facing serious shortage of water resources, so it is advised to evaluate new possible approaches to minimize the plant water consumption and hence to rationalize irrigation water use. Realizing the need of water use optimization in the context of water scarcity and increasing agricultural productivity, this can be achieved by choosing the proper water management and improving plant- soil properties. So that a study was carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Water Studies and Research Complex (WSRC) Station, National Water Research Center, Toshka – Abu simbel city, Egypt during the two growth seasons of 2015 and 2016. The experiment aimed to test suitability of new irrigation system approach (integral drip irrigation), influence of cobalt application and pulse technique on water use efficiency (WUE<strong>) </strong>andtomato yield grown in newly reclaimed soils.
In this study, results demonstrated that the individual influence of using the integral drip irrigation system (IDI) caused significant increases in tomato yield and water use efficiency more than individual influence of cobalt application and pulse technique. The results indicated also that using cobalt application and pulse technique under integral drip irrigation system caused increases in tomato yield by 641.9 % from the lowest average value which had been recorded in control treatment under subsurface irrigation system.
Thus, we can conclude that integral drip irrigation system is more suitable under Toshka climatic conditionto improve water consumption andcaused significant increases in tomato yield and water use efficiency especially when cobalt application and pulse technique are used. This treatment gives the highest net return and benefit-cost ratio to the farmers.

EN
10.21608/ajas.2017.2798
Ten different soil samples from Basrah and Messan governorates of southern Iraqi were used to study the mechanism of copper (Cu) adsorption. Copper was added at 0 , 4 , 8 , 16 and 32 mg Cu kg<sup>-1</sup> soil and two salts (0.01 M CaCl<sub>2</sub> and 0.01 M NaCl) with two temperature (25±1 C° and 45±1 C°). Copper adsorption was tested using isothermal equation parameters of Langmuir, Freundlich and D-R as well as thermodynamic parameters (K°, ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS°). The results showed that the isotherm equations that give the best description of copper adsorption were in the following order: Langmuir > D-R > Freundlich according to their (R<sup>2</sup>) values. The value of activity energy (E) which ranges from 8.006 – 15.823 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup> showed that the copper adsorption is an ionic exchange reaction. The value and sign of ΔG° of copper adsorption in the studied soils exhibit that it is a spontaneous process and increases with increasing the temperature. For the positive ΔH° values, Cu at sorption is considered an endothermic reaction and the positive ΔS° indicates the degree of randomness between the solid and liquid phases. There is not any clear effect of soil properties. But there is a general effect of whole soil properties on the calculated parameters. The results also showed that the amount of adsorbed Cu under using 0.01 M CaCl<sub>2</sub> on adsorption sites was lower compared to 0.01 M NaCl

Effect of Plastic Mulch and Drought Periods on Growth and Yield of Potato (solanum tuberosum L). I- Vegetative Growth
EN
10.21608/ajas.1999.3830
The present experiment was carried out in the Experimental Farm of Vegetable Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Egypt, during the two fall seasons of 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. The soil texture of the experimental site was clay with a pH average of 7.65. Three irrigation periods and four different color of plastic mulch were used, irrigation periods and mulch treatments, will be investigated in the present study to estimate their effects on yield and quality of potato crop under Assiut conditions. The effect of the drought periods was not significant on the percentage of filed emergence, rate of field emergence, number of stems per hill and final plant stand in the two fall seasons. The lowest percentage of germinated tuber was recorded from plants grown over clear mulch; however, the lowest rate of field emergence was obtained from plots covered with black plastic mulch (BPE) in both seasons. The full irrigated treatments gave significantly the tallest plant in both seasons. Results indicated that average stem height values for the five mulch treatments followed the order BPM>RPM >WPM >CPM>C. Plots covered with white plastic (WPM) followed by (BPM) sheets significantly gave the highest number of stems per hill in both seasons. Full irrigated plots significantly gave the highest percentage of foliage dry matter of potato (20.7%) in the second season, however, in the first season opposite trend was recorded, the severe stress treatment (IS 30) significantly gave the highest percentage of foliage dry weight. Plots covered with black plastic sheets (BPM) gave significantly the highest percentage of foliage dry weight in both seasons.

This investigation was carried out during two successive summer seasons in 2015 and 2016, in the Experimental Vegetable Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University to examine the effect of yeast and royal jelly foliar applications on yield and its attributes as well as quality traits of cucumber (hybrid KUC-102). The experiment was laid out as split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results showed that using yeast and royal jelly spray gave significant differences in most studied traits compared to the control (untreated) in favor of 20 g/l yeast and 2.4 g/l royal jelly in both seasons. Concerning the interaction between yeast and royal jelly, there were significant effects in some studied traits in both seasons. The combination of 20 g/l yeast and 2.4 g/l royal jelly recorded the highest mean values of vegetative traits, yield components, total yield and fruit quality in both seasons. Use 20 g/l yeast plus 2.4 g/l royal jelly holding a great promise since it gave fruit yield increment of 109.40% and 145.22% in the first and second seasons, respectively compared to the control (untreated plants 9.150 and 7.653 ton/feddan in the first and second seasons, respectively). Also, the results demonstrated that cucumber respond to yeast and royal jelly with distinct changes in gene expression

10.21608/ajas.2017.3833
This study was conducted in Yewa zone of Ogun state to investigate the socio-economic characteristics, preference and consumption pattern of meat among the inhabitants who are rural dwellers. Primary data were collected through 300 structured questionnaires covering 12 selected rural towns. The variables measured included age, sex, educational and marital status, household size, religion, occupation, income, preference for meat, factors influencing meat preference, meat consumption pattern and constraints for meat consumption in the study area. Data collected were analysed with frequency percentages and Garrett’s ranking technique and validated for reliability. The results showed that (30.01%) of household consumed meat were mostly youth who were mostly (54.0%) females that attained secondary education (32.3%) while 67.7% of them had one form of education or the other. (30.7%) were married with highest (29.3%) household size, Christians (40.7%) and traders (28.3%) and earned monthly income (29.0%) between N10, 000-N30, 000. Also majority (95.0%) preferred beef (87.5%) and chicken while (56.7%) preferred pork. Majority with 64.6 scores consumed meat perhaps for its nutritional value and taste (63.5) score without minding the price 56.8 score while tenderness was not the hindering factor (50.2) score for consuming meat in the study area. High percentage of the respondents consumed meat of any type but consume more (25.0%) of beef than pork (57.7%) as low percentage (19.3%) of the total respondents would not consume meat. Majority of them strongly disagreed that no constraint associated with meat preference and consumption would deter them from consuming meat. It was recommended therefore, that household in the study area be encouraged by government extension agents to utilize part of their income to purchase meat to be included in their diets to improve the quality. Also there is need to conduct a research to investigate low percentage consumption meat by the inhabitants of Yewa zone, the study area.
