Chemical composition and insecticidal efficacy of two animals’ horn and hoof crude extracts against lesser grains borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) [Coleoptera: Bostrichidae]
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: by extract of cow horn and goat hoof after 24 h exposure was 0.57 ml and 0.48 ml, respectively. Proximate compositions of the animal hoofs and horns showed that the samples contained fat, crude protein and ash. The number of bioactive compounds detected in cow hoof was 44 and goat horn was 21. The study has shown the insecticidal potential of the understudied animal materials. The use of extracts from the horns of goats should be looked into and explored as an eco-friendly measure in the control of
