Heritabilities and correlations for growth traits in N'Dama cattle under tsetse challenge were estimated using an animal model. Animals were born and weaned in a low to medium tsetse challenge area and, after weaning at 12 months of age, they were transported to a high tsetse challenge area until...

Agriculture and livestock production are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Foragebased systems dominate much of agriculture in the tropics, providing livelihoods to farmers but also affecting local and global environments. In this paper, we attempt to answer the question, how can fa...

As human populations continue to grow, the intensification of agricultural production is occurring in order to maintain food consumption and rural income levels in developing countries. The demand for livestock products is generally income-elastic, so that, with increases in real incomes in most ...
