Location performance of N’Dama cattle was recorded under village management conditions in four ecological variable villages in the Gambia. A total of 636 cows were recorded during the study. The highest daily milk offtake 1.7 kg/cow/day took place when cows were 4 – 6 weeks post-partum. Daily mil...

The experiments took place in the villages of Pirang (low trypanosomiasis risk), Keneba and Nioro Jattaba (low-to-medium trypanosomiasis risk). In Nioro Jattaba, cows milked once a day while in the other two villages cows milked twice a day. In Pirang and Keneba, 45 calves taken from each village...

Rapid population growth (from 498 million in 1990 to 1.2 billion by 2025) and urbanization (from 2.7:1 to 5.1 rural to urban) in sub-Saharan Africa will profoundly influence the demand for food including milk and other dairy products. Since West Africa accounts for over 42 percent of SSA populati...
