Evaluates the productivity of transhumant Fulani cattle in the inner Niger delta of Mali. Summarises the results of the animal productivity study extending from December 1978 - March 1983, which indicated high calf mortality, low reproductive performance and moderate milk production. Identifies c...

In an examination of the productivity of goats and sheep on a Maasai group ranch in Kenya, estimated least-squares means for pre-weaning mortality were 28.6% for goats and 32.1% for sheep. Three productivity indices based on total live weight of young produced per female per year, per kg female p...
