The paper reviews the evidence of genetic resistance to endoparasites both within and between breeds of sheep and goats and assesses the possibilities of breeding for increased resistance. In light of this evidence, ILCA has developed a Pan-African research programme to investigate and characteri...

Slaughter data from 304 Menz and 153 Horro rams were analysed to determine between breeds differences in yields of carcass and edible non-carcass components, with the primary aim of creating awareness in the way animal evaluations for meat production may be modified to incorporate local cultures....

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...

Research in Kenya has confirmed that Red Maasai sheep are more resistant to gastrointestinal parasites than Dorper sheep and has shown that Small East African goats are more resistant than Galla goats. There is no difference in resistance between the Menz and Horro sheep breeds in Ethiopia. Herit...

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to an estimated 147 million goats representing about 80 indigenous breeds or strains distributed across all agro-ecological zones and ruminant livestock production systems. Goats are particularly important in marginal agricultural land, especially in arid and semi-arid ...

Formulation of cost-effective preventive control programmes for helminth infection in small ruminants should be based on sound epidemiological knowledge of the time relationship between contamination of pastures and the seasonal availability of infective larvae in a given geographic area. Epidemi...
