Indigenous pigs in Tanzania are descendants of earlier European introductions. However, a lack of systematic breeding plans, poor husbandry practices, genetic drift and possibly mutation have led to pigs of varied phentypes. A study undertaken in Mbeya region showed that the predominant managemen...

This paper reviews the successful N’Dama cattle genetic improvement programme implemented in a low input productions system at the International Trypanotolerance Centre (ITC) in 1994, in the Gambia. The first part of the paper presents the genetic improvement programme. The second part deals with...

The objective of this study was to assess the reproductive performance of two Nguni ecotypes (Nguni and Landim) raised in a subtropical environment to enhance strategies for livestock development and restocking programmes within the southern African region. Reproduction data collected between 199...

Polymorphic blood traits are very useful for studies of evolution, relationship and structure of breeds. Some of the systems are particularly valuable when no family data are available because the genotype can be determined directly. This paper reports the results of investigations of haemoglobin...

The distribution of electrophoretic variants of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (N.P. E.C.2.4.2.1) controlled by the alleles NP.H and NP.L was determined on erythrocyte lysates from zebu, Baoule and N'Dama/Baoule cross cattle. Electrophoresis was performed on cellulose acetate and NP revealed. Ze...

Domestic yak plays a critical role in supporting the livelihoods of nomads in the Central Asian Highlands. Tianzhu White yak is a unique breed developed from a very small number of mutant founders and its white hair has a special niche market value. In this study, the genetic polymorphisms in Tyr...

Data on reproductive performance of the White Fulani (Bunaji) cattle in Southern Nigeria were analysed. Age at first calving, first and overall calving intervals averaged 4.03± 0.43 years, 436.19±9.32 and 420.98± 4.11 days respectively. The year of birth significantly affected age at first calvin...

Breed additive and non-additive effects as well as genetic parameters for calving interval (CI), days open (DO), age at first service (AFS), age at first calving (AFC), number of services per first conception (NSC) and breeding efficiency (BE) were estimated in Ethiopian Boran cattle and their cr...
