Many types of analysis require rainfall data, which must often be generated to overcome limitations in the historical record. The ability to model outlying rainfall years satisfactorily is particularly important in risk studies. We describe a rainfall generator with this ability, based on a third...

Rainfall in the Northern India-Nepal-Bangladesh region is crucial for farmers, water managers and others in the region. Most precipitation falls predominantly during the south Asian summer monsoon season. The phase of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects the monsoon as well as winter rainf...

In a field study in Kenya, 55 plots in a Pennisetum purpureum sward were cut in rotation to give a 55-d regrowth cycle. After cutting, each plot was weeded and given 6.3 kg N + 4.5 kg P/ha. The daily DM production varied from 25 (dry season) to 178 kg DM/ha (rainy season). The mean DM yield after...

The pattern of growth and carcass composition of indigenous Ethiopian fat tailed Menz and Horro lambs were assessed through serial slaughter and carcass dissection of 147 lambs at five different growth phases. The GLM procedure of Statistical Analysis Systems Institute and allometric growth equat...

The season of calving affected calving interval, weaner weight per cow per year, dam weights at mating, parturition and weaning, and dam weight changes during gestation and lactation. The year of calving influenced calving interval, calf survival, weaner weight per 100 kg of cow weight per year, ...

Hematological parameters were studied in 163 apparently healthy goats comprised of 3 indigenous breeds at Adami-Tulu Agricultural Research Centre (ATARC) and Sheno, Agricultural Research Centre (SARC), Ethiopia. Data were analyzed for the effect of breed, sex, age, and season. Hemoglobin (Hb) was...

This paper deals with foraging behaviour of cattle grazing semi-arid rangelands in the Sahel of Mali. It discusses the location of study site, vegetation in the grazing orbit, herd management and livestock behaviour. Results on seasonal variation in feed supply, selection of the annual grazing or...

In the highly risky environment of the Sahel, livestock play an important role as a form of insurance against weather risk in addition to their important contributions to rural incomes, urban meat supply and export earnings. Most Sahelian farmers and pastoralists pursue production strategies that...
