Nairobi is a large rapidly-growing city whose demand for beef, mutton and goat products is expected to double by 2030. The study aimed to map the Nairobi beef, sheep and goat systems structure and flows to identify deficiencies and vulnerabilities to shocks. Cross-sectional data were collected t...

The study included two trials, each of two phases, to investigate the feasibility of finishing Adal lambs on irrigated pasture and the effect of concentrate supplementation. Fifty-one ram lambs with initial mean weight of 11.9 kg and mean age of 18 week were used in phase 1 Trail 1 while phase 2 ...

A comparative study of body dimensions of indigenous cattle, sheep and goats. One hundred and thirty-six multiparous cows, 63 goats and 71 sheep were measured in breeding flocks and herds in Nigeria. The humped cattle breeds are large-bodied; humpless Kuri are narrow-bodied and tall in relation t...

Data from slaughter (LWT) and warm carcass (HCWT) weights and dressing-out percentages (CYD%) of 209 Uda (Sahel) and 26 Djallonke sheep and 105 Djallonke goats were analysed by fitting a least-squares fixed-effects model. The model consisted of the effects of breed and sex on LWT and CYD% and the...

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 ...

A selection programme was set up in 1983 in the Ivory Coast to improve the growth and live weight of the indigenous Djallonke sheep using an open nucleus breeding system. Selection was based on male individual weights at 80, 180 and 365 days of age. Multiple sires were used in farmers' flocks. In...

China has a rich resource of native sheep (Ovis aries) breeds associated with historical movements of several nomadic societies. However, the history of sheep and the associated nomadic societies in ancient China remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the genomic diversity of Chinese sheep u...

An on-farm study was conducted to determine the combined effects of the provision of feed and healthcare on nutrient use and growth performance of sheep during the early or late dry season. A total of 36 smallholder sheep farmers with a flock size of ≤7 was randomly selected within each of the th...

A comprehensive dynamic simulation model was developed to describe a community-based breeding program for the Menz sheep population of Ethiopia. Selection of male and female animals based on their own and maternal performance was simulated. The breeding goal traits were 6-mo weight, preweaning su...
