In experiment 1, the influence of NSP on blood lipid metabolites, organ weights, growth performance, mucin production, and endogenous nitrogen and amino acid flows were evaluated in pigs. In experiment 2, the influence of NSP on ileal nitrogen digestibility and flow were determined in broiler chickens. In experiment I, different levels of purified maize arabinoxylan (AX) and barley �-glucan extract Glucagel™ (BG) were substituted fo r cellulose in enzymatically hydrolysed casein based (EHC) diets. Five experimental diets consisting of diffe rent levels (4% and 7.5%) of AX and BG and EHC, wheat starch, sugars and coconut oil were fo rmulated. These diets V My fo ndest gratitude is expressed to my wife, Anne Catherine, and son, Roy Angelo, fo r their love, inspiration, support and understanding and to whom this piece of work is humbly dedicated. To the Lord Almighty fo r making things possible, thank you.

These dugongs, 2.2 and 2.5m in length and 172 and 132.5kg in weight respectively, were necropsied in January and February 2011, and a parasitological examination was conducted on each. From one dugong, adult roundworms, Paradujardinia halicoris and trematodes, Solenorchis travassosi (syn. Indosolenorchis hirudinaceus) were recovered from the stomach or small intestine and caecum respectively. From the other, juvenile roundworms were found in the stomach and small intestine. Female adults were 104.7mm long and 3.1mm wide on average, whereas male adults were similarly 97.6mm long and 2.8mm wide. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of P. halicoris showed that this nematode had three well-defined lips, longer than the width, with small triangular interlabia between them, distinctly offset from the anterior end. A few trematodes, S. trav...
