This study is evaluating the resistance of Red Maasai sheep to endoparasite infections relative to Dorper sheep and a range of Red Maasai x Dorper crosses. The results confirm previous reports that both Red Maasai ewes and lambs are more resistant to endoparasites (predominantly Haemonchus contor...

Data on Black Head Persian (BHP) sheep, collected at Livestock Research Centres, Malya and West-Kilimanjaro, Tanzania for the period 1964-1988, were analysed. Overall age at first lambing, lambing interval, twinning rate, litter size and annual reproductive rate averaged 784.2± 6.16, 350.9± 3.54 ...

A total of 587 kidding records of the West African Dwarf (WAD) goats over a period of 10 years (1982-91) were used for this study. The mean kidding interval and litter size at birth were 275.68±6.08 days and 1.79±0.05 kids, respectively. Effect of parity, season and year of birth were significant...

An analysis has been of the reproductive rates and milk yield of Kenana cattle in a closed dairy herd in Sudan. The average age at first calving was 38.4 months and calving were most frequent between September and December. The average length of productive herd life of cows was 5.42 lactations. T...

Genetic parameters for growth traits in Sabi sheep were estimated using from data records of 4123 lambs from 130 sires and 1131 dams collected between 1984 and 1994. Reproduction traits and lamb survival to weaning were analysed fitting a sire threshold model. The direct additive contribution t...
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of season on, and to estimate heritabilities of, and genetic correlations among, semen and spermatozoa characteristics and the relationship of these characteristics with measures of testicular or scrotal size in 6-, 9- and 12-month old ram lambs of ...
