The productive performances of Tswana and Boer goats, and Dorper sheep were investigated. Comparative performance on productivity per ewe/doe and young mortality in pure Tswana and Boer goats and Dorper sheep in Botswana were examined. The local breeds were superior for use in communal areas prac...

Discusses the results of a study on goat production under indigenous management conditions in southern Darfur, Sudan. Seven flocks of indigenous goats were studied over a period of 15 months. Birth rates in the region approached 2.1 kids per doe per year. A high total offtake of 28 percent and a ...

Describes generally the parameters of pastoralist milk production w. partic. ref. to cattle. Discusses briefly methods of determining milk yield and milk offtake and the effect of milk production on reproductive rate. Gives a brief description of lactation curve, lactation length, calf growth and...

The paper reviews the evidence of genetic resistance to endoparasites both within and between breeds of sheep and goats and assesses the possibilities of breeding for increased resistance. In light of this evidence, ILCA has developed a Pan-African research programme to investigate and characteri...

In risk prone farming areas like Marara District, goats are a profitable and resilient source of income. A goat restocking and pass-on approach – providing goats to extremely poor farmers who would then pass on the goats’ first offspring to other farmers – was developed, thus enabling the farme...
