The average flock size was 10 in 76 households. Flocks were established through purchase from fellow farmers. Sale for cash need was the farmers' main reason for keeping small ruminants. Periods of food deficit in the household were closely linked to the seasonality of cash need. producer househo...

Presents results of a study conducted to determine the intake and selectivity of sheep and cattle offered sorghum stover in varying quantities and form (either chopped or unchopped). Includes data on live-weight gain, stover offered, stover intake, sheath intake, stem intake and stover refusal of...

One of the alternative control strategies being advocated by scientists and goats raisers is the identification of breeds of goats that are resistant specifically to endoparasites that commonly affect existing breeds and exotic genotypes. Due to the Reported large genetic variation existing among...

Between and within-breed variations in feed intake and digestive efficiency, in terms of the percentage of feed dry matter (DM) retained in the body out of that consumed (ADMD), in 452 Menz and Horro sheep were estimated. Average daily concentrate DM was about 278 g/day in both breeds, whereas da...

The influence of 0, 60 or 120 minutes of access to a grove of either Ziziphus mauritiana (Ziziphus) or Combretum aculeatum (Combretum) on forage intake and digestibility, animal growth and nutrient excretion was determined using forty intact Oudah sheep grazing for 7 h day-1 on poor quality dry s...

There are four main breeds of sheep in Nigeria. The breeds are Balami, Uda, west African Dwarf sheep and Yankasa. Balami is most predominant in the North eastern part of Nigeria. The Balami is a predominantly white and hairy breed with a pronounced convex heat and a dull depression. It has a dewl...

The economic and biological efficiency of cotton seed cake (CSC) and molasses urea block (MUB) supplementation to control gastrointestinal nematode parasites was examined in artificially infected Horro and Menz lambs from 3 to 12 months of age. The factorial O.xperimental design involved 2 breeds...
