Presents results of a study undertaken at Magogo, Kenya, to analyse genetic and phenotypic correlations between adjacent weights, between weights and rates of growth, and among growth rates themselves, hence data on 969 lambs collected over a 10-year period (1978-1987) on Dorper sheep were used i...

An original data set of 31, 661 lactation records of Kenyan Friesian cows covering the period 1968 through 1987 was used to develop part-lactation extension factors for milk yield, and to estimate genetic parameters for production and reproductive traits. Effects of herds and year were significan...

The Kenya Livestock Recording Centre progeny testing data base covering the period 1968 through 1987 was used to estimate genetic and phenotypic trends in Friesian cattle for milk yield of all lactations, first lactation milk yield, age at first calving, and calving interval. Annual genetic and p...

Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits: birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), 6-month weight (6MWT) and yearling weight (YWT) in indigenous Ethiopian Horro sheep using the average information REML (AIREML). Four different models: sire model (Model 1), dire...

Analyses trends in genetic and environemntal components of performance, to estimate levels of inbreeding and to quantify its effects on performance in order to identify which of these factors is responsible for the decline in performance at the Stud. Presents an evaluation of long-term breeding p...

Data on 969 lambs collected over a 10-year period (1978 to 1987) on Dorper sheep at Ol'Magogo were used in this study. Lamb traits studied were weights from birth to yearling and absolute growth rates between adjacent stages of growth. Heritability estimates from paternal half-sib analysis were: ...

Twenty-five year (1965-89) data on the Blended goats from Malya Research Centre totalling 4799 records were analysed for live weights and growth traits from birth to 72 weeks of age. The Blended goat developed in Malya, Tanzania, is a stabilised three-way cross of the Kamorai (55%), Boer (30%) an...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of season on, and to estimate heritabilities of, and genetic correlations among, semen and spermatozoa characteristics and the relationship of these characteristics with measures of testicular or scrotal size in 6-, 9- and 12-month old ram lambs of ...

Calving date (CD) records of 68896 polled Hereford dams of 120 682 calves were coded within herd-year-season with date 1 being the date the first calf was born. Factors affecting CD and its relationship with production traits were investigated. Early calving was found to be associated with high p...

Phenotypeic and genetic trends of calving interval (CI), nine months corrected weaning weight (9MOWT) and calf weight, weaned/cow/year (cow index), were estimated on data from three ranches (Mogwooni, Galana and Oljorai) located in semi arid areas of Kenya. The number of records per herd varied b...
