The limited genetic potential of indigenous cattle has often been quoted as a major constraint to beef and milk production in Africa south of the Sahara. Thus, considerable efforts have been and are being made to increase output through breeding prog

Certain indigenous taurine breeds of cattle, namely N'Dama and West African Shorthorn, in West and Central Africa aare significantly more resistant to trypanosomiasis than Bos indicus breeds. This trait, termed trypanotolerance, is an innate characte

A comparison of productivity over a 4-year period from indigenous type beef cattle under two production systems in Botswana is reported. The two systems are: the traditional system on unenclosed communal grazing (cattle post) and ranching within fenc
