Traditionally, most smallholder farmers in Goma and elsewhere in Ethiopia engage in sheep and
goat fattening to generate sufficient income to meet household requirements and other social
obligations. A rapid assessment with IPMS project partners in Goma found that traditional sheep
fattening is c...

The productivity performance of 34 traditional sheep and goat flocks in south-east Cote d'Ivoire were investigated. Average litter size was 1.19 lambs and 1.52 kids. Average annual lambing and kidding rate were 1.74 and 2.34, respectively. In both species, litter size was significantly influenced...

Small ruminants in general and sheep in particular are important investments in the highlands of
Ethiopia. Genetic and environmental improvements offer an opportunity to increase production
from existing animal resources. Development of effective genetic evaluation and improvement
programs requir...

The study compares the growth performance of Watish lambs in the Sudan under traditional production systems with those of lambs kept in feedlots and on irrigated pastures by a series of trials designed to investigate the components of more intensive systems of lamb production. It investigates som...

The reproductive performance, growth, slaughter traits, and several conformation characteristics in Dorper sheep (hair and wool types) were evaluated under extensive conditions in the north-western Karoo region of South Africa. From 1993 to 2000, lambs of hair (n=1070) and wool (n=1044) type Dorp...

A study carried out to determine the chemical composition of Crotalaria ochroleuca ("marejea") at three stages of growth pre-anthesis, anthesis and post-anthesis. Feeding trials were conducted to study the effect of "marejea" supplementation of low quality Chloris gayana hay on the growth rate an...
