Data on reproduction, liveweight and trypanosome infection of N'Dama cattle raised under traditional husbandry systems in The Gambia were analyzed to quantify the relative effects of postpartum liveweight change and infection with pathogenic trypanosomes on 2 parameters of reproductive efficiency...

Effects of trypanosome infection and liveweight change post-partum on resumption of reproductive activity in N'Dama cows
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...

The effect of dry-season supplementation of White Fulani cattle in northern Nigeria with legume standing hay (fodderbanks) was investigated. Over 430 cattle were recorded in 8 herds over 2-5 years. Fodder bank supplementation may have reduced weight losses in calves and breeding females during th...

An attempt was made to use anal skinfold thickness as a quantitative measurment to estimate body fatness in Boran cattle (Bos indicus). Using the normal single-operator technique the relationship between skinfold thickness and the other measurements was poor but was greatly improved by using two ...
