The survival rates of Dorper, Red Maasai and crossbred lambs born over a period of 6 years at Diani Estate, Coast Province, Kenya were compared using the Cox mixed proportional hazards model with a random (frailty) term for sire. Of the 1785 lambs born, proportionately 0.44 died before they were ...

Six first cross (F1) Red Maasai X Dorper rams were mated to both Red Maasai (R) and Dorper (D) ewes to produce 1342 double backcross progeny (672 3/4 D/1/4 R and 670 3/4 R/1/4 D lambs born alive). These six double backcross resource families are being used to identify quantitative trait loci con...


Mugambi, J.M.M.Audho, James O.Baker, R.L.[Evaluation of the phenotypic performance of a Red Maasai and Dorper double backcross resource population: Natural pasture challenge with gastro-intestinal nematode parasites]Evaluation of the phenotypic performance of a Red Maasai and Dorper double backcross resource population: Natural pasture challenge with gastro-intestinal nematode parasites

Six F1 Dorper (D) x Red Maasai (R) rams were mated to both D and R ewes to produce backcross lambs. These six double backcross resource families are being analysed to identify quantitative trait loci that may be controlling resistance to gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasites, mainly Haemonchu...


Mugambi, J.M.M.Audho, James O.Njomo, S.Baker, R.L.[Evaluation of the phenotypic performance of a Red Maasai and Dorper double backcross resource population: Indoor trickle challenge with Haemonchus contortus]Evaluation of the phenotypic performance of a Red Maasai and Dorper double backcross resource population: Indoor trickle challenge with Haemonchus contortus

Resistance to naturally acquired gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) was studied in 166 Red Maasai; 230 Dorper and 294 crossbred (Red Maasai X Dorper) ewes in the sub-humid coastal region of Kenya. Live weights (LWT), blood packed-cell volume (...


Baker, R.L.Mwamachi, D.M.Audho, James O.Aduda, Eric O.Thorpe, W.R.[Genetic resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites in red Maasai, Dorper and Red Maasai X Dorper ewes in the sub-humid tropics]Genetic resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites in red Maasai, Dorper and Red Maasai X Dorper ewes in the sub-humid tropics

Resistance and resilience to naturally acquired gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) were studied in 1785 lambs born over six lambings (1991 to 1996) consisting of 212 Red Maasai, 311 Dorper and 1262 crossbred (Red Maasai-Dorper) lambs in the su...
