Twelve traditional herds of cattle in the area of Boundiali, northern Cote d'Ivoire, were examined monthly from 1990 to 1992 for the presence of trypanosomes. The herds were randomised into 3 treatment groups, cattle in 4 herds received diminazene aceturate at 3.5 or 7 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) wh...

There is a broad land of territory comprising the subhumid zone and the non-forested areas of the humid zone of West Africa in which a mixture of trypanotolerant, trypano-susceptible, and crossbred cattle are found. Availability of a variety of breeds allows farmers to choose the breeds they judg...

The reviewed case studies were conducted between 1994 and 1997 by ILRI research teams in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. The objectives were to evaluate farmers' preferences for cattle traits; to assess constraints and opportunities for in situ conservation of endangered cattle breeds, ...

Forage intake and feeding behaviour of cattle grazing during day and/or night was studied in Sadore between February and May (late dry season) 1995 and, in Toukounous, Niger, between July 1995 and May 1996, covering wet (WS), early dry (EDS) and late dry (LDS) seasons. In Sadore, 24 steers grazed...

Published and new data from experiments conducted in several range sites in Niger and Mali were analysed to assess wet season, dry season and year-round animal weight changes, stocking rates, forage availability, feed intake and faecal excretions of cattle, sheep and goats. Herbage availability o...

Describes the forage resources and their utilization by pastoralists' cattle in two of ILCA's case study areas in the sub-humid zone of Nigeria. Examines effects on cattle productivity. Presents some characteristics of the two case study areas, contribution of different grazing resources to total...

The paper reviews the limited data available on both between-and within-breed genetic variation for resistance to helminthiasis in cattle, sheep and goats in the tropics. Topics covered include criteria of resistance, resilience or tolerance, parasite species and mode of infection, parameters to ...
