Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: The used of synthetic chemicals in water treatment is expensive and raises fears on health implications and environmental safety, the need to find alternatives that are safe health-wise and environmentally friendly gave rise to this study. Methods: A preliminary bacteriological evaluation of abattoir waste water treated with powder obtained from M. oleifera was carried out. Isolation and biochemical techniques were employed to identify pathogenic organisms. The M. oleifera seeds were dried in the oven at 40â°C to constant weight. They were winnowed, shelled and grounded using sterile mortar and pestle. A sufficient powderwas obtained using a 400mm size sieve. Before treatment a 1ml aliquot of the waste water sample was serially diluted, the 10â· and 10â¸ were cultured on Nutrient agar, MacConkey agar and Eosin Methylene Blue agar and the plates were incubated at 37Â±2â°C for 24 hours. Plates containing colonies ranging from 30 â€“ 150 were counted and recorded at 24 hours interval for 3 days to obtain the Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Total Coliform Count (TCC), Escherichia coli Count (ECC) before and after treatment.
