Potential of trypanotolerance as a contribution to sustainable livestock production in tsetse affected Africa
From biological data collected between January 1986 and December 1989, and economic data collected during 1988, 10-year projections of herd structure, production, and economic and financial returns were calculated for 13 village cattle herds at two village sites in the Gambia. The analyses indica...

The experiments took place in the villages of Pirang (low trypanosomiasis risk), Keneba and Nioro Jattaba (low-to-medium trypanosomiasis risk). In Nioro Jattaba, cows milked once a day while in the other two villages cows milked twice a day. In Pirang and Keneba, 45 calves taken from each village...

Four experiments were carried out in which supplements of locally available proteinaceous by-products were given to young, mainly pre-weaned calves that ranged in initial weight from 30 to 90 kg. The experiments were part of a programme designed to establish practical and economical nutrition int...

Health and production aspects of village based N'Dama cattle in The Gambia
This paper summarises the productivities of N'Dama cattle in traditional production systems inthe Gambia and describes the responses in productivity achieved when nutritional interventions were applied. The studies were carried out at six sites where herd management patterns are similar. Cattle a...
