چکیده
background: the performance and parasitology of semi-intensively managed west african dwarf (wad) lambs were evaluated following exposure to gastrointestinal helminth infected paddock and varied protein-energy feeds. methods: twenty four lambs obtained from the department of animal breeding and genetics and brought to directorate of university farm (dufarm) of federal university of agriculture abeokuta, ogun state, nigeria, where the research was carried out in 2014, were grouped into four each containing six animals based on different energy-protein feed combination thus; group 1(g1) low energy low protein, group 2 (g2) low energy high protein, group 3 (g3) high energy low protein and group 4 (g4) high energy high protein. experimental animals were supplemented with concentrate feed after grazing on daily in a nematode infected paddock. clinical signs of infection were monitored. live weight, faecal egg count (fec), worm counts, packed cell volume (pcv), haemoglobin concentration (hb) and red blood cell count (rbc) were determined using standard methods. results : anorexia and intermittent diarrhea were the observed signs. worm counts did not differ significantly ( p =0.309) among the groups. the weight and fec differed significantly ( p ˂0.05) across the days and among the groups, while haematological parameters increased significantly ( p ˂0.05) across the days and among the groups. conclusion : lambs in g2 followed by g4 showed improved parameters and superior performance when compared to the other groups. it is therefore recommended that feed high in protein content is capable of mitigating deleterious effect of gastrointestinal helminth parasitism.

West African Dwarf (WAD) goats are extremely important in the rural village economy of West Africa, but still little is known about their biology, ecology and capacity to cope with gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections. Here, we summarise the history of this breed and explain its economic importance in rural West Africa. We review recent work showing that Nigerian WAD goats are highly tryp...

OBJECTIVE To investigate correlates of resistance to GI nematode infection in Nigerian West African dwarf (WAD) sheep. METHODS Thirty three sheep were randomly assigned to two groups, A (n=27) which were used for experimental infections, and B (n=6) which served as uninfected control. Each infected animal received weekly escalating infections with infective larvae (60%Haemonchus contortus (H....

Nutrient Intake and Digestibility by West African Dwarf (WAD) Sheep Fed Graded Levels of Pigeon Pea Seed Meal
A study was carried out to evaluate nutrient intake and digestibility by West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep fed graded levels of dietary pigeon pea seed meal (PSM). Four diets designated A, B, C and D were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20, and 30% levels of PSM, respectively. Four WAD rams aged between 15 and 17 months and weighing between 16 and 19 kg were used to conduct digestibility study in a 4...
