N'Dama cattle production in relation to nutritional interventions in villages in The Gambia
A study undertaken to determine reproductive efficiency in the village herds of N'Dama cattle in The Gambia. Investigates the relationships among reproductive efficiency, environmental and disease factors and assesses the effect of nutrition on the onset of ovarian activity in the post-partum per...

Reproductive performance of N'Dama cattle kept under village management in The Gambia
Location performance of N’Dama cattle was recorded under village management conditions in four ecological variable villages in the Gambia. A total of 636 cows were recorded during the study. The highest daily milk offtake 1.7 kg/cow/day took place when cows were 4 – 6 weeks post-partum. Daily mil...

Milk extraction for human consumption from N'Dama cattle under village management conditions in The Gambia
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...

Anti-trypanosomal antibodies in sequentially collected sera of N'Dama cattle under natural trypanosomiasis risk in The Gambia
The Berenil provides a means of estimating the trypanosomiasis challenge presented to cattle independent of, and therefore complementary to, the collection of tsetse data and of prevalence rates of infection in cattle. In areas where trypanotolerant cattle predominate, the Berenil Index has seldo...
