Carcass characters for 365 male castrated cattle of the Africander, Angoni, Barotse and Boran breeds, and the reciprocal crossbreds of the latter three were reported. In each of the two year-of-birth groups, different slaughter-age/management regimes were used. For all carcass characters except t...

Live weights from birth to 3.5 years are reported for beef cattle reared under ranching conditions in Zambia. The 809 cattle were purebred Africanders, Angonis, Barotses and Improved Borans and the reciprocal crossbreds of the latter three breeds born in 2 years. All animals born in the 1st year ...

Dam reproductive performance of purebred Africander, Angoni, Barotse and Boran, and reciprocal crossbreds of the latter 3 breeds under ranching conditions were investigated. Mean performance based on a maximum of 1996 records collected over six parities were: calving rate, 65.6%; weaning weight r...

The prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemia in different livestock species, breeds, age groups and management systems are reported from Togo for trypanosotolerant sheep and goats in the Sokode area. The effects of these trypanosome parasitaemias on health and production trai...

Kenya has the largest dairy sub-sector in eastern and southern Africa making available annually an estimated 85-90 litres of liquid milk equivalent per capita based primarily upon well-established market-oriented smallholder dairy systems. As a result dairying (the production of milk for the mark...

Factors influencing reproductive performance of Angoni, Barotse, and Boran under ranching conditions are examined. Five years reproduction records of 675 Angoni, 731 Barotse and 815 Boran were analysed. Calving percentages were 82.5, 78.1 and 75.4 for Angoni, Barotse and Boran, respectively. Year...

Crossbreeding parameters and variance components were estimated for lactation and reproductive traits of crosses between the Sahiwal, Brown Swiss and Ayrshire breeds in a dairy herd in sub-humid coastal Kenya. An individual animal model was fitted to the data with a fixed effect for 20 distinct b...
