Data collected at the livestock research centres, Malya and West Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, to determine the effects of genotype and environment on birth weight, weaning weight and weight at 24, 48, and 72 weeks of age were analysed. Records on the birth weight (n = 6207), weaning weight (n = 4444), ...

Growth and reproduction performance of Blackhead Persian sheep in Tanzania
Analysis of fifteen years (1970- 1984) data on Mpwapwa cattle (12% B. taurus) and their crosses, Backcross (34% B. taurus) and Crossline (56% B. taurus) was carried out. Data pooled over the first five lactations showed that for Mpwapwa, backcross and crossline cows, lactation milk yield averaged...

Weight of lambs weaned (at 150 days) per ewe per year (Index D, per kg liveweight of ewe per year (Index II), per kg metabolic body weight (W0.73) of ewe per year (Index III), and per lifetime of ewe regardless of ewe weight (Index IV), were computed for 3022 ewes at Malya and West Kilimanjaro re...
Data on blended goats (a three-way cross of Kamorai (55%), Boer (30%) and indigenous Tanzanian (15%) goats) were collected over a period of four years (1987-1990) at Malya and Kongwa Research Stations. These records were analysed to assess the production potential of Blended goats. Birth weights,...

Blended goats are a 3-way cross of meat goats, between Boer x Kamorai x Small East African goats; they constitute less than 5% or the 6 million goat population in Tanzania. Goats in the project were raised mainly on pastures with similar supplementation or concentrates at Kongwa and Malya station...
Records on liveweight, growth and reproductive performance of Blended (BLD), Blended x Galla (BG) and Kamorai x indigenous (KI) goats for a period of over 10 years (1970-1980) in Malya, Tanzania were analysed. For BLD, BG and KI goat kids, birth weight and live weight averages were determined. Se...

Annual estimates of production traits over a 22 year period (1965-1987) for Black Head Persian sheep (BHP) from Malya and West Kilimanjaro research centers in Tanzania were utilized to analyse variation of flock productivity over time. Principal component analysis was used to anlyse the variation...
