Ewe reproduction and productivity were studied in the highlands of Ethiopia in Horro and Menz ewes mated to lamb in both the wet and dry seasons from June 1992 to May 1997. The data included a total of 4890 mating records of which 2516 were Menz ewes and 2374 Horro ewes, with 2360 matings in the ...

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 (...

A genome-wide scan for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting gastrointestinal nematode resistance in sheep was completed using a double backcross population derived from Red Maasai and Dorper ewes bred to F1 rams. This design provided an opportunity to map potentially unique genetic variation a...

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...

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...

Disease is one of the most important biological constraints to small ruminant production in the many different agroclimatic zones of Africa. Loss of production, high levels of mortality and the cost of drugs are some of the major concerns. Current control strategies include vaccination, medicatio...

Presents the Orma Boran field observations carried out under tsetse fly challenge on Galana ranch in Kenya since 1980. Their response to trypanosomiasis has been compared to that of the ranch bred Kenya (Galana) Boran. The mean monthly prevalence of trypanosomiasis observed in Orma steers over fi...

The purpose of this chapter is two-fold. First, the information available on breeds of sheep and goats that are resistant or resilient to helminthiasis (mainly the GI nematodes) infections are reviewed. This is important information for inclusion of appropriate breeds in integrated endoparasite c...

Studies the within-and between-breed differences in resistance to natural infection with gastro-intestinal parasites and identifies genetic markers to aid in the selection of animals. Data analysed include PCV (Packed Cell Volume), live weight from birth to 360 days and faecal egg counts.

The Menz and Horro highland sheep breeds are being evaluated at the ILCA Debre Birhan research station in Ethiopia for between-and within-breed genetic variation for resistance to internal parasites. The experimental design involves mating, for each breed, 150 ewes with 10 rams to lamb at the beg...
