Sheep and goats of tropical Africa were studied. Data on breed types, management systems, ownership, nutrition and productivity included for both species. Their contributions to live weight biomass, meat production, and registered slaughtering units described. Some measured production parameters ...

A survey was carried out to evaluate the effect of veterinary treatment on disease incidence and productivity of West African Dwarf (Djallonke) goats and sheep from may 1982 to April 1983. Two village groups were identified as treatment group (where rinderpest vaccination and dipping applied) and...

Goats constitute a major potential resource in the humid tropical environment where they are more numerous than the sheep and cattle. The West African Dwarf goat is adapted to the hot and humid environment where it is used as a source of meat. Unfortunately, under the traditional management syste...

Presents the past and present research findings on sheep and goat breeding in Nigeria. Attempts were made in the past at exploiting their genetic potentials through pure breeding and selection while a number of exotic breeds were used on the indigenous sheep and goats to improve goats and sheep s...

Fifteen Baladi and 20 Angora intact males raised together from birth until 8 months of age were grown on a commercial coneentrate mixture fed at the rate of 0.6 kg/head/day with chopped wheat straw fed at 0.5 kg/head/day for 14 weeks. Body measurements were taken before slaughter and carcass meas...

Improved management and use of estimated breeding values in breeding programmes, have resulted in rapid genetic progress for small ruminants (SR) in Europe and other developed countries. The development of single nucleotide polymorphisms chips opened opportunities for genomic selection (GS) in SR...

This paper outlines ILCA's strategy of choice, i.e., ILCA's formal mandate, ILCA's altimate goal, the centres' fundamental choice, ILCA's research program for the 1989-93 period, and mode of operation, and research thrusts, and highlights of the achievements. ILCA's research activities concentrat...

Thirty-two herds of West African Dwarf goats raised under village conditions and which grazed stylosanthes (Stylosanthes hamata cVerano) or natural pasture in the wet season were monitored for 30 months to determine herd productivity. Average litter size was 1.67 (+ or -) 0.082, kidding interval ...
