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...

Quantifies some of the benefits to range resource use and human food supply from multiple species stocking in African livestock systems. Gives examples of the use of range resources by camels, cattle, goats and sheep in terms of the percentages of total time spent on feeding. Presents productivit...

Data on weight and weight gain of East African long-fat-tailed sheep, starting in 1974, are analysed. Birth weights averaged 2.59 kg. Weights were 11.6 kg at 90 d, 28.0 kg at 12 mo, 29.3 kg at 18 mo and 35.4 kg at 5 yr. Preweaning daily gains varied from 94 g to 157 g in the period 1974 to 1984 a...

Shugor, Dubasi and Watish sub-types of Sudan Desert sheep were evaluated on the basis of 3 productivity indices (weight of lamb weaned/ ewe/yr, weight weaned/kg ewe/yr and weight weaned/kg 0.75/ewe/yr). Components used to construct the indices were litter weight at 120 d, parturition interval, su...
