A study of the reproductive performance of West African Dwarf goats was undertaken at Fashola (7°31'N, 4°00'E) in southwestern Nigeria from 1982 to 1984. Kidding interval was 261 ± 75 days and litter size 1.6 ± 0.5. Annual reproductive rate was 2.3 kids per doe. Age of dam, month and year of part...
Describes the situation in sub-Saharan Africa's livestock industries over the last two decades, reviewing the most important trends in Africa's livestock industries, with particular reference to meat & milk output from ruminant livestock, & the external trade in these commodities; & considering t...
Presents a sheep and goat production study carried out in the Kajiado district of Kenya at Elangata Wuas group ranch from July 1978 to February 1981. Discusses productivity (age at first parturition, parturition interval, weight gain), mortality (preweaning death) among different age & sex groups.
Data collected monthly over a period of two years were live weight, packed cell volume (PCV), nematode faecal egg counts (FECs) and coccidial oocyst counts from faecal analyses for 100 mixed age (3-7 years) indigenous Tswana does. The aims of this experiment were to determine seasonal FECs and co...
We described the effects of two East African browses, Acacia brevispica and Sesbania sesban, on nitrogen metabolism of sheep and goats. The A. brevispica had a substantial amount of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins); S. sesban did not. The browses were fed at three levels in combination with ...
A study on the econmic characters and productivity indices of traditionally managed goats and sheep undertaken in a semi-arid, agropastoral system in central Mali. Discusses reproductive characters including litter size and parturition interval, and weight characters.
This review encompasses five chapters which, apart from the introduction, successively covers reproductive performance, prenatal losses, post-natal losses, general conclusions and recommendations. The review intends to determine the magnitude and causes of reproductive losses in sheep and goats i...
