Discusses factors influencing liveweight in a range of trypanotolerance network situations. Analyses liveweight traits, viz, dam liveweights at parturition and weaning, dam liveweight change between parturition and weaning, progeny liveweights at birth and weaning and progeny pre-weaning daily gain.

Factors influencing liveweight in a range of network situations
Discusses the productivity of N;Dama cattle at Kolo and Mushie ranches (Zaire). Includes data on productivity under zero (Kolo) and high (Mushie) trypanosomiasis risk (1984-86). Compares the productivity of Boran and N'Dama cattle under ranch management at five sites in Africa.
Discusses trypanotolerant livestock, commonly accepted by livestock producers that trypanotolerance is the ability of an animal to survive, reproduce and be productive without the necessity for trypanocidal drugs in an environment with trypanosomiasis, risk. Discusses constraints in conducting re...

Trypanotolerant livestock, a sustainable option for increasing livestock production in tsetse-affected areas
N’Dama cow and calf viabilities, parturition intervals, cow parturition and weaning weights and calf weaning weights were recorded during a three year period, January 1984 to December 1986. The management system was the same at Mushie and Kolo ranches (Zaire) where trypanosomiasis risk was high a...

Demand for trypanotolerant cattle and their traits: Evidence from southern Burkina Faso. Poster
African animal trypanosomosis is a parasitic disease that afflicts livestock across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The disease, primarily transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.), causes morbidity and mortality in several species of livestock. It is particularly important in southern Burkina Fa...

Trypanotolerance is one of the best recognised examples of innate resistance to disease and one of the most thoroughly investigated. Experimental and field studies Reported in this paper are providing the basic tools with which the trypanotolerance trait can be identified and exploited. Evaluatio...
