Preliminary evaluation of the traditional management systems practiced in rearing west African Dwarf goats in Ayangba area of Benue State indicated high goat population and mortality rate but low productivity. Free range (scavanging) dominated the three identified systems. Comparative field study...

An amalgamated flock of traditionally managed Mashona Small East African goats was monitored over a 6 year period. Kids born in the hot dry season were heavier (p < 0.05) at 60, 90 and 180 d (6.4, 8.0 and 10.9 vs 5.7, 6.7 and 9.2 kg, respectively) than kids born in the hot wet season. Sex had no ...

Three breeds of cattle, the White Fulani (zebu breed), German Brown and Holstein (European breeds), of the same age, kept under identical conditions were studied to delineate differences in some body fluid charateristics. Data on comparative values of blood contituents, serum constituents and bod...

Birth weight, which is subject to difference to prenatal nutrition, increased with parities to the fifth among the subhumid zone (SH = 1.89 kg) dams and to the sixth among the humid zone (H = 1.71 kg) dams. Seasonal influence did not significantly affect birth weights in either zone. Litter type ...

The influence of strain and sex on body weight (BW) and linear body measurements [body length (BL), height-at-withers (HW), and heart girth (HG)] and their relationships in sex groups (1-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, 25-30, and 31-36 months) were studied in 720 smallholder Maradi goats of Nigeria. Sex s...

The reproductive performance of N'Dama and West African Shorthorn (WASH) are evaluated. Production records from 1980 to 1985 at Kumasi University farm were analysed. There were no significant differences between the two breeds in terms of birth weight, age at weaning, age at first calving, calvin...
