Determines fascioliasis incidence in domestic ruminants and ways of controlling the disease around Niono, central Mali. Includes data on liver fluke infestation rate, proportions of animals infested with liver flukes and having ruptured livers, and mortality due to acute fascioliasis.

Early mortality of lambs in African traditional livestock production systems
Reports results of a seven-year field trial and a three year slaughterhouse study on reproductive performance of domestic ruminants in the Niono area of Central Mali. Examines age at first parturition, parturition interval, litter size, seasonality, life-time production of young, embryo migration...

Livestock production in central Mali: Reproductive performance and reproductive wastage in ruminants in the agro-pastoral system
The paper examines levels of mortality and morbidity from birth to maturity of African small ruminants in a range of traditional (Pastoral, agropastoral, mixed smallholder and modern (research station, ranch) systems. Goat mortality is ususally heavier than that of sheep prior to weaning where tw...

Mortality and morbidity of African small ruminants under various management systems
Discusses pre-weaning mortality in kids, ages at death and causes of death in the traditionally managed African small ruminant farms. Presents data on pre-weaning death rates of lambs for different variables (system, sex, birth type, birth season, parity & flock) at six sites (Sudan, Mali, Kenya,...

Pre-weaning kid and lamb losses in traditional African management systems
Looks at morbidity and mortality levels of domestic ruminants as influenced by environmental and pathological factors in a traditional agropastoral production system in the Niono area in central Mali. Examines causes and rates of morbidity and mortality and percentage and levels of gastro-intesti...
