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
Studies the health and performance of two strains trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle, susceptible Nguni cattle and their crosses over a three-year period, 1983-1985, at OGAPROV ranch in Gabon; presents the influences of breed and animal age on the prevolence, species and intensity of trypanosome paras...

Practical possibilities of blood grouping for parentage information: A pilot study in Zaire
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.
The prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemia in different livestock species, breeds, age groups and management systems are reported from Togo for trypanosotolerant sheep and goats in the Sokode area. The effects of these trypanosome parasitaemias on health and production trai...

Effect of trypanosome infection on livestock health and production in Togo
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
The evaluation of the interactions between trypanosome risk, disease control methods and the productivity require high consideration so that sustainable strategies that are best adaptable to the specific needs, constraints and opportunities of the production systems are worked out. There is no un...

A N'Dama cattle resource population for research on trypanotolerance
Emphasises the importance of trypanotolerance by indicating that trypanotolerant breeds were at least as productive as other indigenous African breeds in areas of zero to low tsetse challenge and that in areas where tsetse challenge was substantial, only trypanotolerant breeds could survive. It w...
