Complete cereal-based diets, containing either 50, 33, 22, or 10 veld hay (9. 7, 10.3, 11.6, and 12.1 MJ ME/kg DM, respectively) were fed to 40 wethers, to achieve a target body mass gain of 10 kg by 230 days. Ten animals were slaughtered at the start of the experiment to determine initial carcas...

The performance of randomly selected Malawian local goats and their Saanen crosses was compared. The average litter size at kidding was 1.35 and 1.52, respectively. Birth weights, 12-week weights and weaning weights at 17 weeks were respectively 2.2 kg (SE = 0.12 kg), 8.2 kg (SE=0.41 kg) and 10.7...

Purebred Menz, first-cross Awassi x Menz, and first-cross Corriedale x Menz lambs were born and reared together under common environmental and management conditions. Before they reached six months of age, animals of each sex in each genotype were allocated to two treatment groups. Both groups gra...
