Susceptibility of Nigerian west African dwarf and red Sokoto goats to a strain of Trypanosoma congolense.
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 anaemia, leucocytosis, weight loss and death. All RS goats died within 11 days of infection, and had a m...
متن کاملDiscriminant analysis of morphometric differentiation in the West African Dwarf and Red Sokoto goats
This study evaluated the usefulness of morphological characteristics to distinguish two important indigenous goat breeds in Nigeria. Fifteen morphometric traits were measured on West African Dwarf – WAD (n = 160) and Red Sokoto – RS (n = 142) goats that ranged in age of up to 19 months and were reared extensively in villages in southern and northern Nigeria. Univariate analysis revealed that th...
متن کاملComparative Response of the West African Dwarf Goats to Experimental Infections with Red Sokoto and West African Dwarf Goat Isolates of Haemonchus contortus
Response of the West African Dwarf (WAD) goats to two different isolates of Haemonchus contortus, the Red Sokoto (RS) goat isolate (RSHc) and the WAD goat isolate (WADHc) (isolated from WAD goats), was studied by experimental infections of 4-6-month-old male WAD goat kids. Group 1 and Group 2 goats were each infected with 4500 infective larvae (L3) of RSHc and WADHc, respectively. Group 3 anima...
متن کاملMilk Yield and Composition of Red Sokoto and Weast African Dwarf Does Raised Intensively in a Hot Humid Environment
Six Red Sokoto (RS) and West African Dwarf (WAD) does, raised intensively in livestock farm of Michael Okpara University were evaluated for milk yield and composition in a ten-week study. The animals in their first parity were fed cut-and-carry forages in a cafeteria arrangement between 07:00-08:00 h daily and also were allowed access to concentrate supplementation by 14:00 h. The forage consis...
متن کاملManganese, Zinc and Chloride Content of Milk of West African Dwarf Goats as Influenced by Stage of Lactation
The manganese, Zinc and chloride content in milk of West African dwarf (WAD) goats as influenced by stage of lactation was assessed using three WAD does aged 18 months of age, weighing from 19 to 20 Kg. They were kept for lactation studies lasting for two 10-weeks periods. Individual milk samples were taken from each animal daily for the first seven days (colostrums), from day one after parturi...
