The Ngozi goat project promoted a new livestock system by introducing a new genotype and improving housing, feeding, health and marketing. To assess and monitor its impact, a collaboration with the International Livestock Center for Africa was initiated in 1989. The aim of this collaboration is t...

Describes generally the parameters of pastoralist milk production w. partic. ref. to cattle. Discusses briefly methods of determining milk yield and milk offtake and the effect of milk production on reproductive rate. Gives a brief description of lactation curve, lactation length, calf growth and...

The paper reviews the evidence of genetic resistance to endoparasites both within and between breeds of sheep and goats and assesses the possibilities of breeding for increased resistance. In light of this evidence, ILCA has developed a Pan-African research programme to investigate and characteri...

About 70% of all milk consumed in sub-Saharan Africa is imported from other parts of the world. This trend may be reversed by encouraging production through marker assisted selection. Goats are second to cattle in milk production, they require less inputs and their small size make them attractive...

A study of the reproductive performance of West African Dwarf goats was undertaken at Fashola (7°31'N, 4°00'E) in southwestern Nigeria from 1982 to 1984. Kidding interval was 261 ± 75 days and litter size 1.6 ± 0.5. Annual reproductive rate was 2.3 kids per doe. Age of dam, month and year of part...

The production characteristics of Small East African goats and their crosses are investigated under semi-arid conditions of Rwanda. The crossbreds were those of Small East African goat x Anglo-Nubian and Small East African x Alpine goats. Comparative data on reproductive performance, growth, weig...

Data collected in the Mt. Kulal area of the Marsabit district by the Integrated Project in Arid Lands (IPAL) are being analyzed for use in simulation studies. Weight, lactation, reproduction, health and forage quality and availability data were collected from flocks of Galla goats and Somali shee...
