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...

Comparative evaluation of some cattle breeds and their crosses were done to provide a basis for recommendations on the direction of breeding and management of cattle for enhanced productivity in semi-arid and arid areas of Kenya. Data from 1055 calves of Small East African Shorthorn Zebu (Z), Bor...

A comparison was made of the growth curves for early and late eruptors (steers whose eruption age of the first incisor pair was less than the mean, and greater than the mean respectively). From birth to 195 weeks early eruptors were consistently heavier than late eruptors (P

Relations of incisor eruption with body growth, body development, and carcass composition]Studies of the permanent incisor eruption and body development of the large East African Zebu (Boran): 2. Relations of incisor eruption with body growth, body development, and carcass composition

Observations were made of the ages at first appearance of each pair of permanent incisors (‘eruption age’), and the time from first appearance to full eruption of each pair (‘eruption’), for Large East African Zebu cattle (Boran). For females the eruption ages were found to be 108.5±9.9 weeks, 13...

A study was made of the levels of oestrous activity of two indigenous breeds of sheep (Somali and Nandi) and three exotic breeds of sheep (Merino, Karakul and New Zealand Romney Marsh) over a period of 3 years, in an equatorial environment. Breed was the only significant source of variation for t...
