On the basis of an analysis of 2127 reports on animal feed research and development from seven national programmes in eastern and southern Africa, this paper intends to give a profile of animal feed research in the area since meaningful records have been available, to establish major trends in th...

Animal feed research in eastern and southern Africa; priorities and trends
A feeding system, draught cows, disease/work interactions and animal power introduction in a farming system are reviewed. A new feeding system for draught animals is described which enables feed requirements and the effects of work on liveweight and milk yield to be calculated. Recent data on the...
Ownership of assets is important for poverty reduction, and women’s control of assets is associated with positive development outcomes at the household and individual levels. This research was undertaken to provide guidance for agricultural development programs on how to incorporate gender and as...

Men and women interact with water resources and landscapes in different ways, and there are frequent criticisms that little research is undertaken across disciplines to address this issue. Biophysical scientists in particular struggle with how to integrate “gendered” water uses into models that a...

A lambda gtll cDNA library was constructed using mRNA isolated from Theileria parva-infected bovine lymphocytes. Sequencing of random clones of this library resulted in the identification of a cDNA encoding bovine interleukin-16 (IL-16). The cDNA has an open reading frame of 1134 bp, and a 3? unt...

An investigation was carried out into the behavioural and physical signs of oestrus in 70 Fogera cows and heifers between December 1993 and May 1994 at Metekel Cattle Breeding and Improvement Ranch, Ethiopia. Retrospective information generated from records made between 1991 and 1994 was evaluate...

Malaria and trypanosomiasis are vector-borne protozoal diseases which disproportionately affect the poor. Both give rise to immense human suffering; malaria exerts its effect directly on human health, while trypanosomiasis causes damage largely though its effect on the health and productivity of ...

The nucleotide (nt) sequence encoding the bovine homologue of interleukin-5 (boIL-5) was determined. Total cDNA generated from stimulated bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes was used to amplify the boIL-5 gene using primers based on the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the ovine IL-5 cDNA sequen...

Soil compaction is often responsible for the poor establishment of trees on restored brownfield sites. This paper examines the root development, survival and growth of Alnus cordata, Larix kaempferi, Pinus nigra and Betula pendula after cultivation with complete cultivation, a standard industrial...

Leishmania minicircular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is arranged into different classes according to sequence. These classes differ substantially in sequence, despite species- and genus-specific regions, and are present in widely different copy numbers within and between Leishmania strains. Homolo...
