22 yankasa lambs were slaughtered, jointed and dissected after a 184-day feeding experiment involving 4 planes of nutrition: High-high, (HH) high-low (HL), Low-high (LH) and Low-low (LL). Part of the results of the feeding experiment have been reported by lakpini et al. (1982). The carcass weight...
Presents results of a study carried out to determine the ejaculate characteristics of Yankasa rams in Nigeria. Three rams of proven fertility from the breeding herd at shika, of average age of 29 months were investigated. Ejaculates collected during the wet season had higher volume, pH, sperm mot...

The feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of Sudan Desert lambs under intensive system of feeding and management from birth to 40 kg slaughter weight were investigated. The average daily milk yield of the Watish dams were found to be within the capacity range of intake of the lambs. The...

Data of 5342 progeny from 232 sires from 30 genetically linked flocks, collected
through the National Progeny Testing program for Merino sheep from 1991 to 1996, were used to estimate heritabilities for several production and type traits. The traits analysed were: body weight (BW), clean fleece ...
