Discusses factors influencing liveweight in a range of trypanotolerance network situations. Analyses liveweight traits, viz, dam liveweights at parturition and weaning, dam liveweight change between parturition and weaning, progeny liveweights at birth and weaning and progeny pre-weaning daily gain.

Factors influencing liveweight in a range of network situations
Discusses the productivity of N;Dama cattle at Kolo and Mushie ranches (Zaire). Includes data on productivity under zero (Kolo) and high (Mushie) trypanosomiasis risk (1984-86). Compares the productivity of Boran and N'Dama cattle under ranch management at five sites in Africa.
Discusses the genetic aspects of criteria of trypanotolerance including parasitaemia, anaemia control and immune response. Includes data on heritability estimates for daily liveweight change, for PCV under low & high trypanosome prevalence, and for number of treatments required in four periods af...
