Characterization of the Boran and Sahiwal breeds of cattle for economic characters
Compares two series of breed groups of cows for maternal traits from a three-year study in Kenya to identify breed crosses that are superior to the Boran purebreds; considers age at first calving, calving interval, calf weight at weaning, cow weight at weaning, calf mortality to weaning and cow p...

Crossbreeding cattle in beef production programmes in Kenya. II. Comparison of purebred Boran and Boran crossed with the Red Poll and Santa Gertrudis breeds
This article attempts to evaluate the current state of knowledge on questions such as, to what extent is inheritance important and how is it influenced by environmental factors; what are the mechanisms underlying increased resistance; and how productive are these breeds under various levels of ch...
Reports the results of an 18-month study on the prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemias in East African Zebu cattle managed in ten village herds in four areas around Ghibe, S.W. Ethiopia. Gives an estimation of tsetse related density and trypanosome infection rates in tsets...

Health and performance of zebu cattle exposed to trypanosomiasis risk in S.W. Ethiopia
The significance of Glossina fusca group tsetse flies as vectors of cattle trypanosomiasis was examined using biconical traps to survey tsetse populations at one site in Gabon and two sites in Zaire. Mean trypanosome infection rates in G. tabaniformis Westwood over the study period ranged from 8....
