Results of a 2-year study on goats and sheep in northern Burkina Faso are reported. In both goats and sheep, females comprised more than 75% of flock numbers. Intervals between parturitions in goats were 312 days overall but were significantly affected by the season of the previous birth: in shee...

The result of an intensive 15 months study of 10 flocks of indigenous sheep is recorded. Lambing rates approach 1.5 lambs per ewe per year, but a death rate of 23 percent and on off take of 27 per cent, means that flock numbers are probably slightly declining. Twins account for 14 per cent of all...

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...
