Two groups of light N'Dama calves were fed different quantities of milk from birth to 10 months of age to compare efficiencies fo converting milk to live-weight gain, and to assess the economic efficiencies of the two feeding regimes. Group one receives an average of 347 kg per calf, with a daily...

Data on accumulated life performance of crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and Sahiwal (S) cattle collected over a 21- years period from a dairy ranch in the lowland tropics of Kenya were analysed to estimate additive and non-additive genetic effects of economic traits. These ...
