Knowledge of composition of fat, protein and water in the body is indicative for the
determination of effects of changes in nutrition in terms of body reserves. Deuterium
oxide dilution technique has been proposed as easy, reliable and non-destructive method
of determining body composition using ...

Body composition of cows kept under tropical conditions: Carry-over effects of feed fluctuation
This paper investigates preferences for cattle traits among a pastoral community in a trypanosomosis prevalent area in Kenya. Choice experiments and mixed logit models are employed to estimate economic values of preferred traits which could be introduced through systematic breeding in breed impro...

Emphasises the importance of trypanotolerance by indicating that trypanotolerant breeds were at least as productive as other indigenous African breeds in areas of zero to low tsetse challenge and that in areas where tsetse challenge was substantial, only trypanotolerant breeds could survive. It w...

Characterisation of trypanotolerant cattle: a case study
Kenya’s smallholder dairy sector produces 85% of the total milk marketed in the country. A
major constraint to milk production and number of calves born from the cows is the long calving
intervals. Determining non-pregnant cows early by measuring progesterone levels by day 23
after insemination c...
