Observational study was conducted to determine the genetic potential of the Tswana goats for milk production and to determine production parameters of the goats under traditional management in Tutume agricultural district in northeastern Botswana between January and December 1986. Results indicat...
Results of feeding trials conducted at Shika agricultural research station in Nigeria were reported. The study was carried out to assess the genetic potential of dairy cows and to determine feed costs for milk production under urban dairy conditions. Comparisons of production performance on zea m...
The report discusses how CIMMYT, CIP, and CIAT interact to develop agriculture, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), according to new research trends directed toward environmental conservation and management. Concrete examples are given of achievements so far attained. Five fund...

Assessments report on livestock management systems in Malawi. The traditional grazing system, stall-feeder schemes, feedlot systems, milk and dairy produce in Malawi are described with recommendations on possible means of increasing production output.
Location performance of N’Dama cattle was recorded under village management conditions in four ecological variable villages in the Gambia. A total of 636 cows were recorded during the study. The highest daily milk offtake 1.7 kg/cow/day took place when cows were 4 – 6 weeks post-partum. Daily mil...

A crossbreeding program between the Small East African goat and the Alpine goat has been implemented in Burundi (1980) to improve milk production from smallholder goats. In the breeding center purebred Alpines had lactation yields of 432.81 to 480.9l in 1st to 3rd lactations. R1-crossbreds (75% A...
