The influence of 0, 60 or 120 minutes of access to a grove of either Ziziphus mauritiana (Ziziphus) or Combretum aculeatum (Combretum) on forage intake and digestibility, animal growth and nutrient excretion was determined using forty intact Oudah sheep grazing for 7 h day-1 on poor quality dry s...

A greenhouse experiment was carried out at the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), at Sadord (13°15' N, 2°18'E), Niger, in conjunction with a feeding trial. Eight types of compost were made with millet stover (refusals and faeces with or without urine from s...

There is a large and diverse range of sheep and goat breeds in the world and some of these, particularly the indigenous tropical breeds, appear to have some unique genetic ability to resist or tolerate diseases. This paper reviews the information available on between-breed genetic variation for r...

An experiment was conducted during the dry season in 1998 to determine the influence of supplementation with groundnut cake (GC) (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 g kg-1 LW) and phosphorus (P) (0 and 3 g day-1 animal) on diet and millet stover intake and digestibility, sheep growth rate and nutrient excretion. ...

The paper briefly reviews the epidemiology and control of helminth parasites of small ruminants of economic importance in the tropics. Epidemiological factors influencing seasonal availability and acquisition of nematiode larvae and metacercaria by sheep and goats on pasture are discussed. The pa...

Interpretation of results from this study is constrained by the low numbers of observations for each species-month-age-location subclass; by unequal numbers of observations per subclass; and by the confounding of treatment type with location. Nevertheless, it does contribute a considerable amount...

Trypanosoma vivax was diagnosed from 20 of 45 (44.4%) West African Dwarf sheep suspected of clinical trypanosomiasis on ILCA’s farm at Fasola in southwest Nigeria. The infection represented 11.8% of the total sheep on the station. Varying levels of parasitaemia and anaemia were observed among the...
