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...

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...

Africa is well endowed with a diversity of breeds and strains of livestock, which have proved remarkably suited to survive and produce under prevailing environmental rigours. Over 90 percent of the ruminant population in Africa is indigenous, although the numbers of distinct breeds of cattle, she...

Investigates environmental sources of variation influencing growth traits of the Dorper and Dorper X Red Maasai sheep with special reference to the relative performance of various geneotypes. Lamb traits studied were weights from birth to yearling and absolute growth rates between adjacent stages...

Ensuring that locally adopted breeds are a functional part of production systems is the most national and sustainable way to conserve animal genetic resources. This can only be possible if sustainable breeding strategies for such animals are developed which take into account their economically im...

Over the last two to three decades, West Africa has witnessed considerable changes in land use. Unprecedented increases in human population combined with changes in climatic patterns have reduced per capita arable land traditionally available for agricultural production. In the livestock sub-sect...

A study was conducted at the Asella Station in the Arsi Region of Ethiopia to investigate the dairy performance of purebred indigenous Arsi and Friesian x Arsi crosses under different pre- and post-partum supplementary feeding regimes. Lactational performance of both genotypes was not affected by...

Indigenous domestic animal diversity constitute a major valuable asset for Africa and for the world. In Africa, indigenous livestock breeds, support the majority of smallholder rural farmers for whom these genetic resources are essential for improved nutrition, income and as a secure form of inve...

The need for, potential benefits of, and possible problems with the establishment of a multi-country genetic evaluation scheme for Africa are discussed. The most compelling argument for such a scheme is the opportunity it may provide for the genetic improvement of indigenous livestock populations...
