The result of an intensive 15 months study of 10 flocks of indigenous sheep is recorded. Lambing rates approach 1.5 lambs per ewe per year, but a death rate of 23 percent and on off take of 27 per cent, means that flock numbers are probably slightly declining. Twins account for 14 per cent of all...

The effect of two levels of protein intake on age, body weight, chest girth, withers height and condition score at puberty in Bunaji and Bunaji x Friesian bulls were examined. Scrotal circumference, volume and motility of semen from the bulls were also evaluated to determine onset of puberty in B...

In a trial to evaluate the growth of crossbred calves under semi-arid ranch conditions in Botswana, pure Tswana and crossbred beef cows were inseminated with beefalo and Italian semen or mated naturally with Brahman, Simmental or Tswana bulls. The 424 calves produced were weighed at birth and at ...

Differences in susceptibility of the Small East African breed of goats to an experimental Trypanosoma congolense infection were investigated. The goats were obtained from different areas of East Africa, Morogoro and Arusha (Tanzania), Imbo and Lambwe Valley (Kenya). Morogoro goats were found to b...

Three breeds of cattle, the White Fulani (zebu breed), German Brown and Holstein (European breeds), of the same age, kept under identical conditions were studied to delineate differences in some body fluid charateristics. Data on comparative values of blood contituents, serum constituents and bod...

1. White leghorns at the Central Poultry Farm averaged egg production than 50% white Leghorn x Baladi crosses (148 to 132 eggs) under controlled test conditions for a 10 month period in the year 1958/59, but the latter survived slightly better (52% as compared to 65%). 2. White Leghorns lived and...

An experiment was carried out to compare the susceptibility to haemonchosis of three breeds of goats and to seek indications of genetic resistance. Twelve East African, nine Galla and 13 East African X Toggenburg crosses were artificially infected with 500 Haemonchus contortus larvae per kg liv...

Anassessment of the relationship between does’ weights at parturition, birth weight and weaning weight, in kids of Malawian local, Boer and their crosses was investigated. Birth and weaning weights for male kids were 3.8 and 20.2 (Boer), 2.6 and 16.3 (Malawian local), 2.9 and 16.0 (Malawian x Boe...

This study has indicated that differences in susceptiblity to Trypanosoma congolense infection exist among the 3 main breeds of goats in Uganda namely, Kigezi, Mubende and small East African (SEA). The Kigezi goats appeared to be the most susceptibe suffering more severe anaemia, greater retardat...
