Slaughter data from 304 Menz and 153 Horro rams were analysed to determine between breeds differences in yields of carcass and edible non-carcass components, with the primary aim of creating awareness in the way animal evaluations for meat production may be modified to incorporate local cultures....

Milk yield, milk composition and growth rates of offspring from goats (local-LL, Boer-BB and their crosses-Be) and of sheep (local-LL, Dorper-DD and their crosses-De) were estimated over two kidding/lambing seasons for 12 weeks of lactation using three techniques of milk-yield estimation, namely ...

Complete cereal-based diets, containing either 50, 33, 22, or 10 veld hay (9. 7, 10.3, 11.6, and 12.1 MJ ME/kg DM, respectively) were fed to 40 wethers, to achieve a target body mass gain of 10 kg by 230 days. Ten animals were slaughtered at the start of the experiment to determine initial carcas...

Some Malawi local goats were mated to Saanen bucks and others to local bucks under the same management at the Bunda College farm. Gestation length, birthweights, weaning weight, weight gain per day and weights at one year were observed and compared.The average gestation length of local dams sired...

In 1980, very little was known about any aspect of communal area small ruminant production and productivity, even though small ruminants were an integral component of communal area farming systems. The Departement of Animal Science, in line with the government policy of prioritizing communal area...

The total and additional biological productivity of local (LL) and Boer (BB) goats and their crosses (BL) and of the local (LL) and Dorper (DD) sheep and their crosses (DL) were estimated over two kidding seasons at the Lifidzi Goat Breeding Centre, Salima, Central Malawi.The average 12-weeks mil...

The Small Ruminant Collaborative Research Support Program (SR-CRSP) in Kenya is engaged in a multidisciplinary research programme with a farming-system perspective. Its overall objective is to carry out research on dual-purpose goat production systems, to enhance production of food protein throug...

The performance of randomly selected Malawian local goats and their Saanen crosses was compared. The average litter size at kidding was 1.35 and 1.52, respectively. Birth weights, 12-week weights and weaning weights at 17 weeks were respectively 2.2 kg (SE = 0.12 kg), 8.2 kg (SE=0.41 kg) and 10.7...

One hundred multiparous indigenous does were purchased from communal farmers for on-station trials. At the research site, the goats were confined and zero-grazed. During adaptation, six goats died, 28 aborted, 56 kidded and 10 had no reproduction records. The does lost weight and were afflicted b...

The potential use of diets based on maize stover and groundnut hay with either urea or sunflower seed as a supplement was investigated using indigenous Small East African goats. Four female goats fitted with permanent rumen cannulae were randomly assigned to a 2*2 changeover design to determine d...
