Tegegne, AzageMukasa-Mugerwa, E.Franceschini, R.Sovani, S.[Nutritional influence on Corpora lutea function and fertility in Boran (Bos indicus) heifers bred at first oestrus or after three oestrous cycles]Nutritional influence on Corpora lutea function and fertility in Boran (Bos indicus) heifers bred at first oestrus or after three oestrous cycles

Small ruminants contribute significantly to meat (and sometimes milk) production in Africa and hence in meeting the current shortfall created by the fast rising human population. Flock productivity may, however, be affected by a wide range of disease problems and reproductive wastage. The impact ...


Mukasa-Mugerwa, E.[Possible impact of disease and reproductive wastage on the productivity of tropical small ruminants: An overview]Possible impact of disease and reproductive wastage on the productivity of tropical small ruminants: An overview

The paper reviews the evidence of genetic resistance to endoparasites both within and between breeds of sheep and goats and assesses the possibilities of breeding for increased resistance. In light of this evidence, ILCA has developed a Pan-African research programme to investigate and characteri...


Baker, R.L.Lahlou-Kassi, A.Rege, J.E.O.Reynolds, L.Tekelye BekeleMukasa-Mugerwa, E.Rey, B.[A review of genetic resistance to endoparasites in small ruminants and an outline of ILCA's research programme in this area]A review of genetic resistance to endoparasites in small ruminants and an outline of ILCA's research programme in this area

Research in Kenya has confirmed that Red Maasai sheep are more resistant to gastrointestinal parasites than Dorper sheep and has shown that Small East African goats are more resistant than Galla goats. There is no difference in resistance between the Menz and Horro sheep breeds in Ethiopia. Herit...

Twenty-seven Boran and 37 Boran x Friesian bulls, weaned at six months of age, were allocated to either receive supplementary diet (16 percent crude protein and 10.8 MJ/kg DM energy) during the dry season or to serve as unsupplemented controls until 21 months of age. Body weight measurements were...

Baker, R.L.Reynolds, L.Lahlou-Kassi, A.Rege, J.E.O.Bekele, T.Mukasa-Mugerwa, E.Rey, B.[Prospects for breeding for resistance to endoparasites in small ruminants in Africa a new ILCA research programme]Prospects for breeding for resistance to endoparasites in small ruminants in Africa a new ILCA research programme

This paper presents the results of a comparative study conducted to characterize the oestrous phenonenon in Zebu and crossbred cattle and to determine oestrus detection using both androgenized cows and entire bulls. The study was conducted at ILRI Debre Zeit Research Station during the dry season...


Tegegne, AzageWitru, G.Mukasa-Mugerwa, E.Kassa, T.[Oestrus phenomenon and oestrus detection efficiency using androgenized cows and entire bulls in Boran and Boran x Friesian crossbred cows]Oestrus phenomenon and oestrus detection efficiency using androgenized cows and entire bulls in Boran and Boran x Friesian crossbred cows

Many efforts to increase milk and meat production by importing temperate breeds into the tropics are constrained by the breeds' lack of adaptation to tropical diseases, biologic and present management stresses. Moreover, feeding regimes developed for temperate breeds also do not suit animals indi...


Mukasa-Mugerwa, E.[Production function responses in post-partum Bos indicus (Zebu) cattle to nutrition supplementation]Production function responses in post-partum Bos indicus (Zebu) cattle to nutrition supplementation

The milk and meat productivity of Ethiopia's 27 million cattle is still low for the human population of 53 million, which grows at 2.9 percent yr and is expected to surpass 65 million at the end of this century. The present cattle population includes 40 percent (10.8 million) cows of breeding age...

This work was conducted to assist the large cattle multiplication centres to produce more animals of the genotype being demanded to improve peasant farm income, to generate an alternative way of introducing the same genotype to farmers with limited income by using artificial insemination, to assi...
