Red Maasai and Dorper sheep were evaluated for their resistance to gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasites (predominantly Haemonchus contortus), productivity and productive efficiency (assessed on a metabolizable energy basis) in experiments undertaken at the Kenyan coast (sub-humid environment...

Genotype by environment interactions for productivity and resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites in Red Maasai and Dorper sheep
This study is evaluating the resistance of Red Maasai sheep to endoparasite infections relative to Dorper sheep and a range of Red Maasai x Dorper crosses. The results confirm previous reports that both Red Maasai ewes and lambs are more resistant to endoparasites (predominantly Haemonchus contor...

Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in Red Maasai sheep in Kenya
A study was carried out from 1992 to 1996 to compare the resistance to naturally acquired gastro intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) of Galla and Small East African goats in the sub humid coastal region of Kenya. A total of 204 Galla and 349 Small Eas...
