Evaluates the effects of trypanosome infection and other factors on parturition interval (1984-1986) at Network sites of Avetonou, Boundiali & Mushie. Presents data on litter size, lambing interval and calving interval.

Factors influencing reproductive performance in a range of network situations
In Mushie ranch, 157 N`Dama progeny of four sires, 95 males and 62 females, were used to estimate the habitability levels for aspects of parasitaemia, anemia control, immune response and animal performance. The males were exposed to a high natural trypanosome challenge, and body weight, trypanoso...
The effects of trypanosome infection and of other factors on parturition interval were evaluated using records for parturitions, which occurred between January 1984 and December 1986 at the Network sites of Avetonu, Boundiali and Mushie. For Mushie some intervals, calculated using parturitions oc...

Factors influencing reproductive performance in a range of network situations
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...
