Comparative data on population structures, reproduction, growth rates, and live weights of indigenous breeds of sheep and goats in Sudan and Ethiopia.
Data on Dajllonke sheep collected from 1983 through 1992 on 29 participating farms of an open nucleus improvement programme and from the nucleus were analysed. Initial on-farm records on 14342 lambs and on-station records on 2551 ram lambs were edited down to 6605 for birth weight (BWT), 5857 for...
Data on 1199 lambs collected over a 10 year period (1978 to 1987) on Dorper and Dorper X Red Maasai sheep at Ol'Magogo were used in this study. Lamb traits studied were weights from birth to yearling and absolute growth rates between adjacent stages of growth. In general, crossbred lambs performe...
Sweet sorghum bagasse with leaf residue (SSBLR) based complete diets with high or low protein and high- or low-energy levels were evaluated in a 60-day growth trial using growing sheep. Twenty-eight Deccani ram lambs were divided into four groups (16.0 ± 0.59 kg) of seven each and fed low-protein...
The prevalence of ticks in cattle, sheep and goats in three group ranches in the arid area of Kajiado District in Kenya was studied. Four differet genera were identified from a total of 2,546 ticks collected. Of all the ticks collected, Rhipicephalus constituted 80.45 percent, Amblyomma 16.3 perc...
Investigates the influence of age and sex on the serum concentrations of total protein(TP), immunoglobulin(LG), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), and alanine amino-transferase(ALT) in apparently healthy sheep raised on the Ethiopian highlands; the results shows that males...
A survey was carried out to determine the level of gastrointestinal parasite infections in cattle, sheep and goats in three Maasai group ranches (Olkarkar, Merueshi and Mbirikani) in Kajiadio District of Kenya. Strongylosis was the most prevalent gastrointestinal infection. Between 60-70 percent ...
Presents results of a preliminary survey of goat & sheep populations at the Elangata Wuas group ranch, providing information on breed type, physical characteristics, population structure by sex & age, & average growth rates os sheep & goats on the ranch.
Resistance to nematode parasites can be improved by selection, but efforts to include appropriate traits in commercial livestock breeding programs are only a recent development. Procedures for including resistance in breeding programs are similar to those involving other traits. The steps are des...
Presents energy budgets and estimates of forage intake requirements developed for adult camels, cattle, sheep and goats managed by nomads of the arid Turkana district of north - western Kenya. Includes data on livestock activity patterns, diet quality, weight changes and milk yields with literatu...
