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...
Summarises the history and occurance of aflatoxins in groundnut meal. Looks into the clinico-pathologic features of aflatoxins and discusses its effects on ducks, poultry, swine and ruminants as well as the implications of using groundnut meal as a feed in Africa.
