The repeatability and heritability of body weight, greasy fleece weight and mean fibre diameter, as well as various subjective fleece traits of South African Angora goats were estimated. The first of two data sets analysed, was collected through the Angora goat performance-testing scheme (AGPTS),...

Analyzes mating/parturition records on Ethiopian sheep and goat breeds, to study the effect of the duration of mating season on flock fertility, with emphasis on data related to cumulative percentage of females conceiving at different intervals of the mating season.

Studies the haematological parameters of clinically healthy goats and sheep in Ibadan, west state of Nigeria. Eighty-five goats from West African Dwarf goat, the Sokoto, Kano Brown goat and their crosses; and 295 sheep from the West African Dwarf sheep of ages ranging from 2 weeks to 7 years were...

The introduction of mimosine detoxifying microbes to the rumen of African livestock eliminates the need to restrict the levels of Leucaena leucocephala in their diet to avoid mimosine toxicity. The performance of weaned Boer goats, which were inoculated with mimosine-detoxifying microbes, browsin...

Boer goats evolved in southern Africa from indigenous African and introduced European stock. Breed standard of the Boer goat breeder's association stipulate colour to be white with red head and blaze, pigmented skin and good, functional conformation. Boer goats are hardy, graze a wide spectrum of...

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 live weight of Matabele does kept in seven communally grazed flocks in southern Zimbabwe were established by survey over a two-year period. The does showed a cyclical change in weight around the breeding cycle, the mean live weight at mating, immediately after kidding and 60 days after kiddin...

Samples of fibre were taken from sheep (n = 45) and goats (n = 24) of the West African Dwarf (WAD) and northern breeds in Nigeria. Three types of coat were noted in sheep: fine woolled, double coated and predominantly hairy. Median fibre diameters were 14.9, 75.7 and 93.3 µm, respectively. Goats ...
