Abstract: In the world, the people develop more and more, increase according to geometrical series, while the provision, the foods increase according to arithmetical progression, foods are not enough supply the men, requirements of foods are high every day. Because of a producers want to have many profits, they use many insecticides, herbicides, a quantity is not exact or they use the excessive fertilizer. Therefore, an abeyance quantity is high, Nitrate is high, the heavy metal is presented and the health of the men are influenced. Ginger is a necessary food for the person, ginger has many utilities, especially, medicaments. Gingers can use the food such as: fragrant smell, cake, jam, ginger sweetmeat, licorice and ginger, kind of sweet used as dessert made of green peas and sugar, soya cake; the men adapt also, salted cabbage, pickled scallions, cook with brine, cook meats or fishes, bake, cook with water, cook with fowl, duck, oysters, helix; gingers can drink to tepid abdomen, assimilative, cure a belly ache; diminish a toxin of virus, cure the allergy, prevent to ferment fetidly, prevent the harmful virus. The gingers were used the medicament to cure many diseases such as: a cheat cold, a hot wind, the person was caught in a draft, a dumb, a nauseous; everyone uses the ginger to massage, cures to ache all over, makes the warm lung, strong heart. Therefore, the ginger has an important role in the life of men. Our object: we want to observe, analyze the heavy metals in ginger, study its use and the relative trees in order to improve the people.

Abstract: Chicken production is important for income generation, food, and nutritional aspects globally. The study aimed to explore husbandry practices and the marketing system of chicken production in Assosa town (district 1) and around. The study district was selected through a purposive sampling method. However, the kebeles of the study area were selected randomly. A multi-stage random sampling technique was applied to choose 156 Households. Data were generated by semi-structured questionnaires and field observations. The data was analysed using SPSS version 20 software. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The results indicate the aim of keeping chickens was income generation and home consumption in urban and peri-urban areas and rural areas, respectively. Chickens were reared intensively in urban areas, whereas they were reared extensively in rural areas. Industrial by-products were a major (65.4%) feed source in urban areas, whereas scavenging (65.4%) was practiced in rural areas. The most common disease outbreak in urban areas was reported to be coccidiosis (57.80%), whereas Newcastle disease (63.40%) was the dominant outbreak disease in rural areas. All respondents (100%) in urban areas had information about the marketing system of chicken and egg. Feed problems were the first chicken production problem in the study area. The attention given to chicken, particularly in husbandry practices like supplementary feeding, health care and housing practices, was very low in rural areas. Therefore, extension development should be implemented to increase the productivity of chickens. As most of the chicken and egg marketing activity of the study area was not information-based, training on chicken husbandry and marketing practices to households would be essential for chicken production and marketing.

Abstract: Lake Sélingué is one of the main fish production areas in Mali. The fish are concentrated at the Carrière landing stage, in the Prefecture of, before being transported to urban centers. The purpose of this contribution is to establish the list of fresh fish landed at this landing stage, coming from the waters of Lake Sélingué. The study was spread over a period of 10 months with one outing per month. Landed fish were identified on site and then counted by species to determine specific diversity, frequency and groups based on occurrence. The results showed the presence of 56 species of fish distributed in 17 families and 35 genera. The Mormyridae family with 10 species is the best represented in the landing stage, followed by the Alestidae, Cichlidae, Cyprinidae and Mochokidae with 6 species each. Eight (8) species represented 71.92% of the catches, the most frequent of which were Chrysichthys auratus, Sarotherodon galilaeus and Coptodon zillii. Mochokus niloticus and Marcusenius cyprinoïdes are added to the list of fish recorded in the area of Lake Sélingué. The fish consisted of 50% constant species, 17.86% incidental species and 32.14% accidental species. The specific diversity index is 4.19 with a maximum diversity of 5.80. Given the great diversity of species, the Carrière landing stage could serve as a reference site for research and conservation of ichthyological diversity.
