The polymorphism at the PvuII recognition site in the ESR gene showed no statistically significant association with sow productivity traits in a Meishan x Large White F2 population. Estimates of the effect on litter size were. however, in the opposite direction and statistically different from pr...

This research is a nutritional assessment of a fungal (Aspergillus fumigatus 1-21A) single-cell protein (SCP) that was fed to rats and pigs. The sun-dried biomass resulted from fermentation of either fresh roots or cassava meal substrates and had the following percentage composition: crude protei...

Noroviruses (NoVs) and sapoviruses (SaVs), which belong to the family Caliciviridae, are important human and animal enteric pathogens with zoonotic potential. In Ethiopia, no study has been done on the epidemiology of animal NoVs and SaVs. The aim of this study was to detect and characterize NoVs...

Consumers have a right to safer foods, and traceability is one approach to meeting their expectations. Kenya does not have an operational animal traceability system, and while a few initiatives have been piloted, these have only focused on the beef value chain. In this paper, we begin a discussio...

The management of indigenous pigs in rural villages of Busia and Kakamega district, Western Kenya, is discussed. Data on husbandry practices, challenges and farmers knowledge on T. solium taeniosis / cysticercosis were gathered using questionnaires administered in face-to-face interviews. Pigs we...

This paper analyses governance structures in Uganda’s smallholder pig value chains by applying the New Institutional Economics framework. It utilises cross sectional and qualitative survey data from randomly selected pig value chain actors in 4 districts. A multinomial logit model is applied to a...

Three experiments with growing rats and two with pigs were carried out to evaluate a vitreous endosperm variety of high-lysine maize and to compare its nutritive value with that of a soft endosperm opaque-2 and a common maize. The results indicate that the vitreous endosperm variety has a signifi...

One experiment was completed with 56 weanling Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire swine and two with weanling Sprague-Dawley rats to determine the nutritive value of Colombian floury-2 corn in comparison with that of Colombian opaque-2 and Colombian common corn. In both rats and swine Colombian floury-2...
