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.
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...
Presents results of a study undertaken firstly to measure the relative effects in N'Dama cattle of length of time detected parasitaemic; intensity of parasitaemia; and control of development of anaemia; on reproductive performance (calving interval), maternal ability (calf weaning weight) and cow...

Effect of trypanosome infection, control of parasitaemia and control of anaemia development on productivity of N'Dama cattle
Matching animal health and performance data were recorded over the 2 year period from weaning at 10 months of age on 225 N'Dama cattle in a high natural tsetse challenge situation in Zaire. Four parameters that are regarded as possible indicators of trypanotolerance, species of trypanosomes detec...
