The increasing interest in crop-livestock integration in sub-Saharan Africa has emphasised the beneficial uses of forage legumes in cereal-based cropping systems. Forage legume-cereal cropping systems were evaluated in 1989 and 1990 at the ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the S...
The effects of birth weight, sex, twinning, parity of dam and dry season on mortality rates of lambs were studied between births and weaning at 20 weeks in a flock of East African Blackhead sheep. The mean birth weight of non-surviving lambs was lower than those of surviving lambs. Singles from g...
Nearly half of the small ruminants of the humid zone of Africa are found in Nigeria. As aggregate demand for small ruminant meat in the zone exceeds supply from local sources, the gap is met by supplies from the subhumid and semi-arid zones in the north of the country and beyond. In the past, onl...
Presents and discusses ILCA's research on smallholder farming in the highlands, village sheep and goat production in the humid zone, cattle production in the subhumid zone, pastoral production in the arid zones of West Africa, range livestock production in eastern and southern Africa, and breed e...
Presents results of a study undertaken at Magogo, Kenya, to analyse genetic and phenotypic correlations between adjacent weights, between weights and rates of growth, and among growth rates themselves, hence data on 969 lambs collected over a 10-year period (1978-1987) on Dorper sheep were used i...
The prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemia in different livestock species, breeds, age groups and management systems are reported from Togo for trypanosotolerant sheep and goats in the Sokode area. The effects of these trypanosome parasitaemias on health and production trai...
The aims of the thesis were to select small cost effective set of SNP markers for estimation of admixture level and to identify optimal levels of Awassi admixture for the on-going crossbreeding program that has been run in farmer’s villages in the highlands of Ethiopia since 1997. Improved Awassi...
