Nigerian Journal of Physiological Sciences vol. 27 no. 2 was posted on Bioline in early September. This is the first time we are featuring NJPS on our blog!

Vol.26 no.2 includes "Variations in Haematological Parameters and Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility of Pigs during Hot-Dry and Harmattan Season in Northern Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria" by Adenkola et al., which looks at the effect of seasons on the haematological patterns of pigs. The seasons compared were the hot-dry season, and the harmattan season, characterized by dry, dusty winds. The results showed that pigs were more stressed during the harmattan season that the hot-dry season.
