Three dam breeds, the indigenous Ankole and zebu, and the Boran from Kenya were mated to Boran Angus and Red Poll sires to investigate the relationship between dam body weight and progeny performance. Under artificial insemination, at least 10% fewer cows were detected on heat than under natural ...

Dorset Horn rams were used on East African Blackhead sheep in western Uganda in mutton production through improved lamb growth. The crossbred lambs were significantly heavier than the indigenous at birth. From birth to weaning at five months, the growth rates of both types were identical, being 0...
