Trypanotolerant livestock in West and Central Africa. Volume 3. A decade's results
World agriculture is based on a small number of animal species and a decreasing number of breeds within each species. Several breeds of West African shorthorn cattle (Bos taurus brachyceros) are now at high risk of extinction due to interbreeding. The West African shorthorn breeds are particularl...

Farmer preferences and market vaues of cattle breeds of west and central Africa
Decreasing efficacy of the trypanocidal drugs and difficulties of sustaining tsetse fly control, strengthen the importance of trypanotolerant livestock and the enhancement of disease resistance as options for livestock production. Continued increase in urban demand for meat and milk in West Afric...
Studies the influence of livestock species, breed, age and lactational status on the prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome infection in livestock at eight sites of the African Trypanotolerant livestock network in west, Central, and East Africa. Estimates the effect of trypanosome infec...

Effect of trypanosome infection on livestock health and production traits in northern Ivory Coast
There is a broad land of territory comprising the subhumid zone and the non-forested areas of the humid zone of West Africa in which a mixture of trypanotolerant, trypano-susceptible, and crossbred cattle are found. Availability of a variety of breeds allows farmers to choose the breeds they judg...

Farmers' preferences of cattle breeds, their market values and prospects for improvement in West Africa: A summary review
The reviewed case studies were conducted between 1994 and 1997 by ILRI research teams in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. The objectives were to evaluate farmers' preferences for cattle traits; to assess constraints and opportunities for in situ conservation of endangered cattle breeds, ...
