Examines the growth performance up to 3 years of calves raised under different treatments including calves with a background of simulated pastoral management and received half of their dams milk, calves received supplements of medium quality lucerne hay, calves given water as nightly supplement, ...


Coppock, D.L.[Ces veaux gras qui ne tiennent pas (toujours) leurs promesses]Ces veaux gras qui ne tiennent pas (toujours) leurs promesses

Presents energy budgets and estimates of forage intake requirements developed for adult camels, cattle, sheep and goats managed by nomads of the arid Turkana district of north - western Kenya. Includes data on livestock activity patterns, diet quality, weight changes and milk yields with literatu...


Coppock, D.L.Swift, D.M.Ellis, J.E.Galvin, K.A.[Seasonal patterns of energy allocation to basal metabolism, activity and production for livestock in a nomadic pastoral ecosystem]Seasonal patterns of energy allocation to basal metabolism, activity and production for livestock in a nomadic pastoral ecosystem

This paper uses detailed, transactions-level data and an innovative, structural-heteroskedasticity-in-mean estimation method to identify the determinants of livestock producer prices for pastoralists in the drylands of northern Kenya. The empirical results confirm the importance of animal charact...

Dry, dehiscent fruits of Acacia tortilis provide important fodder for pastoral livestock in dry seasons on the central Borana Plateau, fruits of A. nilotica may also be useful during drought. Information was needed on fruit yield to assess what these species could contribute to improved calf feed...

Browse is an important forage in pastoral systems, especially during dry seasons, because it is high in nitrogen and digestibility. However, browse palatability may be reduced by possible plant defenses such as tannins and physical attributes. Chemical and physical properties of 20 browse species...


Woodward, A.Coppock, D.L.[Role of plant defense in the utilization of native browse in southern Ethiopia]Role of plant defense in the utilization of native browse in southern Ethiopia

Investigates the nutritive value of three important native forages in southern Ethiopia (two browses and one cultivated legume) for possible inclusion in improved feeding systems for calves managed by seminomadic pastoralists. Fruits (pods & seeds) of Acacia tortilis (Forsk.) Hayne subsspirocarpa...
