The trypanosome surface coat is composed almost entirely of a homogeneous array of molecules known as variable surface glycoproteins (VSG). These molecules are highly immunogenic and elicit a strong antibody response in the infected host. Antibodies against the surface-exposed epitopes of a parti...
Food production systems in Africa depend heavily on the use of locally adapted animals. Goats are critical to small-holder farmers being easier to acquire, maintain, and act as scavengers in sparse pasture. Indigenous goats have undergone generations of adaptation and genetic isolation that have ...
The objectives were to determine browse species preference of goats using dry matter intake (DMI) as a proxy, to compare preference when offered in combination with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and to establish relationships between browse species intake and chemical compositional data. Air-dried le...
In a series of experiments the interaction between nutrition and energy- and nitrogen metabolism of West African Dwarf goats, infected with trypanosomes was studied. Animals were injected with trypanosomes, and feed intake, energy and nitrogen balance and blood metabolites and hormones were measu...
Seasonal effect of bush canopy on dietary selection and nutrition of goats was evaluated at Kiboko, south-central Kenya from June through November, 1982. Three mature esophageally fistulated East-African goats were used in the study on a one day graze, 28-30 day rest cycle. Treatment paddocks (2....
The overall objectives of this dissertation were to improve access to improved/selected bucks by farmers of the research sites and to contribute to their food security and income improvements. The specific objectives were: 1) to present reliable genetic parameter estimates based on meta-analysis ...
