A comparative study of body dimensions of indigenous cattle, sheep and goats. One hundred and thirty-six multiparous cows, 63 goats and 71 sheep were measured in breeding flocks and herds in Nigeria. The humped cattle breeds are large-bodied; humpless Kuri are narrow-bodied and tall in relation t...
Blood samples were taken from 36 White Fulani cattle and 36 Kano Brown goats over a period of 12 weeks in the dry season and analyzed for haemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, packed cell volume (PCV), plasma ammonia-N (PAN) and plasma Urea-N (PUN). Rumen amm...

The performance of N'Dama and West African Shorthorn cattle in the humid forest zone of Ghana was evaluated using records (1969-1970) from UST livestock farm. The mean age at first calving for N'Dama was 32.07 months. Calving intervals of 501.92 and 462.83 days were obtained for N'Dama and West A...
