On 15 and 16 November 2011, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) held a workshop on Sharing Research Results on Trypanotolerance in Indigenous Cattle Breeds and Expe...
We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of concentration and astringency of extractable and bound condensed tannins (CT) in tropical legumes on intake, digestibility, and nitrogen (N) utilization by sheep. The test legumes (Desmodium ovalifolium and Flemingia macrophylla) had similar ...

Annual estimates of production traits over a 22 year period (1965-1987) for Black Head Persian sheep (BHP) from Malya and West Kilimanjaro research centers in Tanzania were utilized to analyse variation of flock productivity over time. Principal component analysis was used to anlyse the variation...
