In an examination of the productivity of goats and sheep on a Maasai group ranch in Kenya, estimated least-squares means for pre-weaning mortality were 28.6% for goats and 32.1% for sheep. Three productivity indices based on total live weight of young produced per female per year, per kg female p...

West African Dwarf (WAD) and Red Sokoto (RS) goats were experimentally infected with the Kafanchan strain of Trypanosoma congolense and the course of the infection was monitored. The organism was pathogenic and produced fatal disease in the goats, which was characterized by rapid progressive anae...
