LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
It
is necessary to mention some of the limitations of this research work.
The chief limitation is the difficulty in obtaining relevant information
in that a few of our values were missing but these missing values were
not statistical significant enough to be noticed.
Notwithstanding,
in the highlighted limitation above, it is hoped that this research will
be useful to dog breeders, veterinary clinics and other similar
organization that may want to know the general response of local dogs to
vaccination.
1.7. DEFINITION OF TERMS
Vaccine: a sub-substance that is put into the blood and that protects the body from a disease.
Vaccination:
Injection of a killed microbe in order to stimulate the immune system
against the microbe, thereby preventing disease.
MLV: Modified live vaccine.
1.7. RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
The research hypotheses are as follows:
HYPOTHESIS 1
H0: there is no significant relationship between the antibody titre and the sex of the local dog.
H1: there is a significant relationship between the antibody titre and the sex of the local dog.
Level of significance: 0.05
Decision rule: reject H0 if p-value is less than the level of significance. Accept H0 if otherwise.
HYPOTHESIS 2
H0 : there is no significant difference in the performance of the de-worming drugs on the local drugs.
H1 : there is significant difference in the performance of the de-worming drugs on the local dogs.
Level of significance (α): 0.05
Decision rule: reject H0 if the p-value is less than the level of significance (α) accept H0 if otherwise.
HYPOTHESIS 3
H0 : there is no significant relationship between the age of the local dog and the rate of vaccination
H1 : there is a significant relationship between the age of the local dog and the rate of vaccination
Level of significance (α): 0.05
Decision rule: reject H0 if the p-value is less than the level of significance (α) accept H0 if otherwise.
HYPOTHESIS 4
H0
: there is no significant difference in the effects of MLV and KILLED
vaccines when used with de-worming drugs on the local dogs.
H1 : there is significant difference in the effects of MLV and KILLED vaccines when used with de-worming drugs on local dogs.
Level of significance (α): 0.05
Decision rule: reject H0 if the p-value is less than the level of significance (α) accept H0 if otherwise.
