Livestock production in central Mali: The "Mouton de Case" system of smallholder sheep fattening
Discusses factors affecting morbidity and mortality of the Ethiopian highland sheep both on-farm and on-station at Debre Berhan between 1989 and 1990. Primary causes of infections origin resulted in high proportional morbidity (88.4 percent on-farm) and mortality (72.9 percent on-farm and 71.8 pe...
