There is a large and diverse range of sheep and goat breeds in the world and some of these, particularly the indigenous tropical breeds, appear to have some unique genetic ability to resist or tolerate diseases. This paper reviews the information available on between-breed genetic variation for r...

There is a broad land of territory comprising the subhumid zone and the non-forested areas of the humid zone of West Africa in which a mixture of trypanotolerant, trypano-susceptible, and crossbred cattle are found. Availability of a variety of breeds allows farmers to choose the breeds they judg...

Genetic resistance to artificially acquired gastrointestinal parasites was studied in 49 Horro and 103 Menz breeds of Ethiopia. The experimental design involved 2 breeds, 2 infection treatments (Infected vs Non infected) and 3 dietary protein treatments using 152 lambs assigned to the 12 treatmen...
