A genetic study of the grading-up of the East African zebu to the Indian Sahiwal has been undertaken on records, covering about 25 years, from three livestock Improvement Centres in Kenya. It appears from this study that the indigenous East African zebu cow has only about half the genetic potenti...
The productive performances of Tswana and Boer goats, and Dorper sheep were investigated. Comparative performance on productivity per ewe/doe and young mortality in pure Tswana and Boer goats and Dorper sheep in Botswana were examined. The local breeds were superior for use in communal areas prac...
A crossbreeding experiment was carried out between two local strains of Mandarah (MN) and Matrouh (MA) chicken. Thirty-four sires and 400 dams from each strain were used to produce four genetic groups. Body weights of 3067 chicks at hatch (BW0), 4 (BW4), 8 (BW8), 12 (BW12) and 16 (BW16) weeks of ...

Compares influence of various feeding systems on meat production from Brahman x Fulani crossbreeds and indigenous breeds of zebu cattle at the Wakwa research station, Cameroon. The response to intensive fattening was better for the crossbred steers (Brahman x Fulani) than for the local breed (Ful...

Embouche intensive des zebus de l'Adamoua. 1. Comparaison de differents systems d'alimentation (1970)
The accuracy of genetic prediction when pedigree ( P A ) or pedigree and marker-based ( PM A )
relationships were used in mixed model equations was assessed. Daughter yield deviations (DYD)
records for milk, fat and protein yields on Holstein sires (n = 1,811) with DNA marker information
were ana...

Les etudes sur les races et la productivite du betail en Afrique
In a trial whereby a large number of cows were needed to calve at approximately the same time, opportunity was taken to establish a crossbred cow population at the International Trypanotolerance (ITC). A slight improvement in the traditional husbandry system revealed a great productivity potentia...
