Genetic diversity of sub-Saharan African goats was assessed using 19 microsatellite markers. Breeds were sampled from eastern Africa (Maasai, Kigezi, Mubende, North West Highland, Arsi Bale), southern Africa (Ndebele, Pafuri) and West Africa (West African Dwarf, Maure, Djallonke). European breeds...

Monthly collection of ticks in the period January through October, 2002 was conducted in the Ghibe Valley of Ethiopia from randomly selected cohort of 60 heifers belonging to four indigenous cattle breeds namely Abigar, Sheko, Horro and Guraghe. The most abundant tick species were Amblyomma varie...

A conceptual framework for evaluating cross-breeding programmes in sub-Saharan Africa is developed based on a Kenyan case study. It depicts livestock production as a system where farm animals, plants, land and water are interlinked in particular ways and are also interlinked with the environment....

A total of 146 Menz and Horro lambs of both sexes were serially slaughtered and dissected at 5 different stages of growth (i.e. at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age) to define the pattern of growth and partitioning of fat among body depots of indigenous Ethiopian Menz and Horro sheep breeds. The GL...

The relative performance of Mashona, Nkone, Tuli (indigenous breeds), Afrikaner, all these being Sanga type, Charolais, Sussex (Bos Taurus), Brahman (Zebu) and several resultant crosses reared on range in a semi arid environment was assessed. The results showed that indigenous cattle are consider...
