Thirty two ram lambs were included from the on-going selection breeding programme. These lambs consisted of the Adal and Black Head Somali (16 each) and were used to study the fattening ability of the two breeds and to compare the concentrate ratio. The average initial weights and age were 14.2 K...

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...

The health and performance records of cattle and sheep used were collected over a three-year period, 1984-1986, at four network sites. Three of the sites, Avetonou (Togo), Boundiali (Cote d’Ivoire) and Mushie (Zaire) were chosen because of their high mean trypanosome of the live weight performanc...

The effects of trypanosome infection and of other factors on parturition interval were evaluated using records for parturitions, which occurred between January 1984 and December 1986 at the Network sites of Avetonu, Boundiali and Mushie. For Mushie some intervals, calculated using parturitions oc...
