Comparing satellite-based indices for insuring pastoralists against drought]Does the design matter? Comparing satellite-based indices for insuring pastoralists against drought

Goats and sheep are versatile domesticates that have been integrated into diverse environments and production systems. Natural and artificial selection have shaped the variation in the two species, but natural selection has played the major role among indigenous flocks. To investigate signals of ...

Looks at morbidity and mortality levels of domestic ruminants as influenced by environmental and pathological factors in a traditional agropastoral production system in the Niono area in central Mali. Examines causes and rates of morbidity and mortality and percentage and levels of gastro-intesti...

Deforestation in African dry forests is widespread and its drivers are complex and vary in space and time. In this paper, we assessed impacts of immigration on dry forests and options for improved management in a resettlement district in north-western Ethiopia. Key informants interviews, focus gr...

The Kuri is a rare, little known breed of cattle of the Hamitic Longhorn (Bos taurus longifrons) type which is found on the islands and shores of Lake Chad Basin in the area covering the common borders of Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria. It is taller and more massive than its longhorn counterpa...

Data collected on 3256 lambs born to Horro and Menz breed ewes single-sire mated to 71 rams at the International Livestock research Institute (ILRI) Debre Berhan station between September 1992 and June 1996 were analysed for rates of survival and growth from birth to weaning. A significantly lowe...

In 1988 and 1989, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive performance of on-farm sheep were studied at 5 sites in the Ethiopian highlands using nematode eggs per gram (EPG) counts, treamatode EPG and packed-cell volume (PCV). Mean litter size, lambing interval, annual reproductive rate and a...

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) of humans and domestic animals are a significant component of the global burden of disease and a key driver of poverty. The transmission cycles of VBDs are often strongly mediated by the ecological requirements of the vectors, resulting in complex transmission dynamic...
