The production performance of indigenous goats under sedentary and transhumant management systems in Sudan, Mali and Kenya are investigated. Age at first parturition was 15.5 months in Mali but was delayed to 18 months in Kenya where management was better. Kidding intervals were 7.8, 10.6 and 9 m...
