Inadequate nutrition and helminthiasis were among the important constraints to smallscale dairy production identified in a 4-country survey among traditional dairy producers. Consequently, multi-locational trials to study helminth control and supplementary feeding to grazing cattle are being impl...

Dairy response to feed supplementation and helminth control in indigenous cattle in traditional systems in West Africa: A case study from Nigeria
Two experiments were conducted using dried leaves of Alchornea cordifolia, Ficus capensis, Manniophytum fulvum and Albizza niopoides. In Experiment 1, dry matter (DM) degradation characteristics were investigated using the in sacco nylon bag technique in West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep, WAD goats ...

A study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of a progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (PRID) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2a) in synchronizing oestrus in N'dama and Bunaji cows and heifers and the fertility following artificial insemination at the synchronized oestrus. A total o...

Growth of exotic dairy calves in the tropics and subtropics has been investigated (Kabuga and Agyemang, 1984; Adeneye, 1985). Several non-genetic factors like season and year of birth, sex of calf, age and parity of dam, gestation length and management have been reported to influence preweaning p...
