A short literature review and the personal experiences of the authors in the Sahelian zone of Mali are used as a basis for describing the epidemiology and ecopathology of small ruminant respiratory diseases. Prospects for control and future research priorities are outlined. Respiratory diseases o...

Discusses ways of collecting livestock data, mentioning the usefulness and techniques of low-level aerial surveys to gather information on animal numbers; and methods of recording weight changes and milk yields.
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...

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,...
