The Nyando Basin in Kenya, a rich agricultural flood plain around Lake Victoria with a population density exceeding 400 persons per square kilometre, has been adversely affected by extreme weather events that include droughts and floods. Literacy levels are low. Land sizes are small, generally le...

This study quantifies comprehensively both within and between breed differences in resistance to natural infection with gastrointestinal parasites. This research programme was developed from an earlier study in coastal Kenya involving Dorper and Red Maasai X Dorper sheep. It is now part of an ILC...


Baker, R.L.Reynolds, L.Mwamachi, D.M.Audho, James O.Magadi, M.Miller, J.E.[Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in Dorper and Red Maasai X Dorper lambs in coastal Kenya]Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in Dorper and Red Maasai X Dorper lambs in coastal Kenya

Disease resistance/tolerance, productivity and efficiency of Red Massai and Dorper sheep evaluated in experiments at the Kenya coast (humid environment) and the Kenya highlands (Semi-arid environment). There were important breed by location interactions for LWT, mortality rates and reproduction r...


Baker, R.L.Mugambi, J.M.M.Audho, James O.Carles, A.B.Thorpe, W.R.[Comparison of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep for resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites productivity and efficiency in a humid and a semi-arid environment in Kenya]Comparison of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep for resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites productivity and efficiency in a humid and a semi-arid environment in Kenya

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...

This Report compares the efficacies of three anthelmintics, each belonging to one of the broad spectrum groups. It also identifies the genera of resistant worms through larval culture. The study was conducted on a commercial farm where anthelmintics had been used intensively. The results show cle...

Baker, R.L.Audho, James O.Aduda, Eric O.Thorpe, W.R.[Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in some indigenous breeds of sheep and goats in Kenya]Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in some indigenous breeds of sheep and goats in Kenya

Red Maasai [Masai] and Dorper sheep were evaluated for their resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites (predominantly Haemonchus contortus), productivity and efficiency in experiments undertaken at the Kenyan coast (humid environment) and the Kenya highlands (semiarid environment). It was...

The Red Maasai sheep breed is under threat due to indiscriminate crossbreeding and strategies are needed to conserve and improve the breed. The aim of this study was to understand farmers’ preferences for important traits of flocks of Red Maasai, Dorper and crosses in two different areas, Ambosel...
