Research aimed at developing appropriate interventions to assist smallholder dairy producers requires a clear understanding of the overall systems environment. Smallholder dairy systems are shaped by production characteristics and technologies, but also by farm/household resource endowments and t...

Across sub-Saharan Africa increasing urban demand for milk is offering an income generating opportunity that in the context of increasing pressure on land is exacerbating cattle keepers' age-old problem of adequately feeding their cattle. In response to this situation, research and Development ag...

Presents results of a study carried out in three locations in the Mombasa region along the Kenyan coast on haemonchosis in lambs. In the study, purebred Dorper and Maasai-Dorper F1 cross lambs were observed for their reaction to helminth infestation and the effects of anthelmintic treatment and s...

The health and performance records of cattle and sheep used were collected over a three-year period, 1984-1986, at four network sites. Three of the sites, Avetonou (Togo), Boundiali (Cote d’Ivoire) and Mushie (Zaire) were chosen because of their high mean trypanosome of the live weight performanc...

In Mushie ranch, 157 N`Dama progeny of four sires, 95 males and 62 females, were used to estimate the habitability levels for aspects of parasitaemia, anemia control, immune response and animal performance. The males were exposed to a high natural trypanosome challenge, and body weight, trypanoso...
The effects of trypanosome infection and of other factors on parturition interval were evaluated using records for parturitions, which occurred between January 1984 and December 1986 at the Network sites of Avetonu, Boundiali and Mushie. For Mushie some intervals, calculated using parturitions oc...
