Data on 1199 lambs collected over a 10 year period (1978 to 1987) on Dorper and Dorper X Red Maasai sheep at Ol'Magogo were used in this study. Lamb traits studied were weights from birth to yearling and absolute growth rates between adjacent stages of growth. In general, crossbred lambs performe...

This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between date of birth and growth performance of calves born to seasonally-bred range cows. Late born calves exhibited an apparent superiority in preweaning growth over that of their early-born counterparts. This was attributed to a positiv...

An original data set of 31, 661 lactation records of Kenyan Friesian cows covering the period 1968 through 1987 was used to develop part-lactation extension factors for milk yield, and to estimate genetic parameters for production and reproductive traits. Effects of herds and year were significan...

The Kenya Livestock Recording Centre progeny testing data base covering the period 1968 through 1987 was used to estimate genetic and phenotypic trends in Friesian cattle for milk yield of all lactations, first lactation milk yield, age at first calving, and calving interval. Annual genetic and p...

The pattern of growth and carcass composition of indigenous Ethiopian fat tailed Menz and Horro lambs were assessed through serial slaughter and carcass dissection of 147 lambs at five different growth phases. The GLM procedure of Statistical Analysis Systems Institute and allometric growth equat...

Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits: birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), 6-month weight (6MWT) and yearling weight (YWT) in indigenous Ethiopian Horro sheep using the average information REML (AIREML). Four different models: sire model (Model 1), dire...

Twenty-five year (1965-89) data on the Blended goats from Malya Research Centre totalling 4799 records were analysed for live weights and growth traits from birth to 72 weeks of age. The Blended goat developed in Malya, Tanzania, is a stabilised three-way cross of the Kamorai (55%), Boer (30%) an...
