Discusses factors influencing liveweight in a range of trypanotolerance network situations. Analyses liveweight traits, viz, dam liveweights at parturition and weaning, dam liveweight change between parturition and weaning, progeny liveweights at birth and weaning and progeny pre-weaning daily gain.

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...

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...

A cross-sectional stratified random sample survey of 1755 households in the Kenya highlands was conducted between June 1996 and April 1998 to quantify cattle population dynamics in smallholder herds. The free-, semi-zero- and zero-grazing systems practised represented increasing levels of intensi...
