Foods produced from two cereal-legume cropping systems were evaluated in a 250-day growth trial using Friesian X Boran crossbred steers. Crops and crop combinations in cropping system 1 were oat-vetch (Avena sativa-Vicia dasycarpa; OV), wheat-trifolium (Triticum aestivum-Trifolium steudneri; WT),...

A population of West African Dwarf goats in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was monitored for general characteristics. Brown coat colour was dominant in the flock (about 43 percent). Birth type classification frequencies were 60, 39 and 1 percent single, twin and triplet, respectively. Kid birth wei...

Two studies were conducted between 1991 and 1993 to assess the impact of grazing improved natural pasture at different stocking densities on animal and vegetation responses. In the first grazing season, goats of the West African Dwarf (WAD) breed were grazed at four stocking densities. Wet-season...

The performance of 40 crossbred calves (Bos taurus, Friesian X Bos indicus, Boran) and 40 Zebu (Boran) calves, from live days after birth to 12 weeks of age, in two separate experiments, was evaluated regarding the effects of two levels of milk (2 or 3 L day-1) and two types of housing (barn (ind...
