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...

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...

The role of livestock in nitrogen cycling in mixed crop-livestock farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa was explored. Cattle were fed a range of diets to investigate the effects on partitioning of nitrogen between urine and faeces and on the chemical composition of the manures produced. The trade...
