Evaluation of lifetime productivity of individual animals in response to various interventions allows assessment of long-term investment opportunities for farmers. In order to gain a better understanding of promising feed interventions for improvement of small ruminant production in Southwestern ...

A meta-analysis of 84 published reports on goats was conducted to calculate weighted and unweighted average direct heritability (ha2), maternal genetic effect (hm2), common environmental effect (c2), repeatability (R), genetic (rg) and phenotypic (rp) correlations for growth, reproduction and mil...

Vector-borne diseases are among major health constraints of small ruminant in Ethiopia. While various studies on single vector-borne diseases or presence of vectors have been conducted, no summarized evidence is available on the occurrence of these diseases and the related vectors. This systemati...

Goats are an important component of the Vietnamese livestock industry but little is known about their genetic diversity, differentiation and population structure. We evaluated genetic diversity of seven indigenous goat populations located in different provinces (CoVBV (Co goats from Ba Vi), (CoVS...

This study was conducted to characterize three Ethiopian indigenous goat types in terms of their composition and dynamics, productivity, and marketing. A set of semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from 155 goat owners based on single-visit-interviews. The study indicates...

This study was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity at d-loop of mitochondrial DNA and establish the possible maternal lineages of indigenous goat breeds in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRCongo). Phylogenetic relationships among and within 111 goats from three indigenous populations fr...

Body condition scoring (BCS) is a simple and easy technique, which allows subjective assessment of an animal’s body composition to help in adopting appropriate management strategy. Information on BCS is not available for indigenous Tswana goats. The aims of this study were to establish the relati...

Results of a 2-year study on goats and sheep in northern Burkina Faso are reported. In both goats and sheep, females comprised more than 75% of flock numbers. Intervals between parturitions in goats were 312 days overall but were significantly affected by the season of the previous birth: in shee...

Eleven non-pregnant indigenous goats were bled three times a week from 1 June 1988 to 31 May 1989. They were fed hay ad libitum supplemented by concentrates, and housed indoors in single pens until November when the goats were divided between two large pens. Plasma progesterone profiles were used...

A body condition scoring for Small East African type goats in Zimbabwe is described. This measure is less affected by confounding variables than is body weight as an estimate of animal’s condition and nutritional state. Furthermore, the latter requires special equipment. Using this scheme it is s...
