Purebred Menz and first cross (50%) Awassi x Menz and 75% Awassi cross sheep were bred and reared under common environmental and management conditions. Mean birth and 120-day weaning weights recorded from 10 lambings were 2.4, 3.0, and 3.8 kg (p<0.001) and 15.6, 17.6, and 21.5 kg (P<0.001) for Me...

The study was carried out in three locations in the Mombasa region along the kenyan coast. A total of about 800 ewes (Dorper) were mated with Dorper and Red Maasai rams. Mating was restriced to a 6-week period and at night time only. Lambing seasons were targeted for March/April and November/Dece...

Ewe reproduction and productivity were studied in the highlands of Ethiopia in Horro and Menz ewes mated to lamb in both the wet and dry seasons from June 1992 to May 1997. The data included a total of 4890 mating records of which 2516 were Menz ewes and 2374 Horro ewes, with 2360 matings in the ...

Weaner ewe lambs (92 + 4 days, SD) of the Ethiopian Menz breed (n=115) were used to assess the impact of level of nutrition before and after first lambing on subsequent productivity. Lambs were raised either on pasture grazing only (P) or grazing with low (L), medium (M) or high (H) levels of a c...

Resistance to naturally acquired gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) was studied in 166 Red Maasai; 230 Dorper and 294 crossbred (Red Maasai X Dorper) ewes in the sub-humid coastal region of Kenya. Live weights (LWT), blood packed-cell volume (...
