Tanzania is the fifth largest producer of cassava in Africa, the eighth largest producer in the world with an estimated average yields of about 10.4 t/ha, which is far below the potential yield of the crop. The low yield is caused by a number of factors including susceptibility of commonly grown ...

The first part of the paper describes embryo transfer in detail. The ILRAD herd of N'Damas has been increased using embryo transfer. The ILRAD experiment requiring the majority of the embryo transfer work is a project to locate the genes responsible for trypanotolerance in the N'Dama. Two generat...
