Looks at morbidity and mortality levels of domestic ruminants as influenced by environmental and pathological factors in a traditional agropastoral production system in the Niono area in central Mali. Examines causes and rates of morbidity and mortality and percentage and levels of gastro-intesti...

Livestock production in central Mali: Environmental and pathological factors affecting morbidity and mortality of ruminants in the agropastoral system
A year-long survey of rural small ruminant markets in southern Nigeria shows that supplies from local sources fail to keep pace with increased demand, particularly at festival times, and the gap is filled by supplies from the northern part of the country. Subsistence oriented southern producers s...

This article attempts to evaluate the current state of knowledge on questions such as, to what extent is inheritance important and how is it influenced by environmental factors; what are the mechanisms underlying increased resistance; and how productive are these breeds under various levels of ch...
The susceptibility of G. longipennis, G. brevipalpis and G. morsitans centralis to various strains of Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense and T. brucei brucei was investigated in the laboratory. Cattle and goats were infected with the trypanosomes and the tsetse fed from them during the first parasi...

This paper discusses the single-round survey of smallholder goat and sheep production which is carried out in the Nigerian sub-humid-zone villages. In order to determine and analyse the importance of the designing and executing surveys as well as to give emphasis upon the flock breed structure ex...
Presents data on the numbers of each domestic livestock species present as well as ownership and management patterns. The census includes sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys and horses and was carried out in four localities - Gunjur, Pirang, Keneba and Jattaba. The sheep and goats were, respectively, of ...

Ownership patterns and management of small ruminants, equines and pigs in The Gambia
The focus of this volume is on small ruminant production, the effects that nematode parasites have on their productivity and ways of overcoming these effects. In some chapters, avoidance takes on more significance than direct confrontation. This volume is arranged in two sections. The first secti...
