he effect of amount of protein in the concentrates on hay intake and rate of passage, diet digestibility and milk production in British Saanen goats
(1990)
During the first 2 weeks after kidding, 27 multiparous British Saanen goats were offered 1·5 kg hay (98 g crude protein (CP) per kg dry matter (DM)) and from 0·45 increasing to 0·70 kg concentrates (152 g CP per kg DM) ...

Anthelmintic resistance amongst sheep and goats in Kenya
(University of Nairobi., 1996)
Faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRT) and larval cultures were used to assess the prevalence of anthelmintic resistance amongst sheep and goats on farms served by Kenya's five regional Veterinary Investigation Laboratories. ...
Economic values for disease resistance traits in dairy goat production systems in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2012)
This study estimated economic values (EVs) for disease resistance traits for dairy/crossbred
goats in Kenya. The traits mean somatic cell count (SCC, cells/ l) and faecal worm egg
count (FEC, epg) were taken as indicator ...
Changes in serum levels of vitamin B12, feed intake, liveweight and hematological parameters in cobalt deficient small east African goats.
(1993)
Thirty short-horned East African goats were divided into two groups (treatments 1 and 2) consisting of fifteen goats each. All the goats were fed on a cobalt deficient diet containing 0.02 mg Co/kg of dry matter for a ...
Feeding practices and effects of gastrointestinal parasite infections on live weight gain of small ruminants in smallholder mixed farms in Kenya
(2008-04)
The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of gastrointestinal nematodosis on live weight gain (LWG) of sheep and goats kept in smallholder farms in Kenya. A total of 307 sheep and goats from smallholder farms ...
Susceptibility to IVM in a field strain of Haemonchus contortus subjected to four treatments in a closed sheep–goat flock in Kenya
(2003)
Susceptibility to IVM (IVM) of “strain A” Haemonchus contortus which had been exposed to IVM four times over a 2-year period was compared to IVM susceptibility of “strain C” H. contortus which had no prior field exposure ...
Hay intake, milk production and rumen fermentation in British Saanen goats given concentrates varying widely in protein concentration
(British Society or Animal Science, 1992)
About 8 weeks after parturition six multiparous British Saanen goats with permanent rumen fistulas were allocated to three dietary treatments in a random sequence for three successive 30-day periods. The treatments were ...
Thyroid hormones and metabolic rate during induction of Vitamin B12 deficiency in goats
(Taylor and Francis Group, 1994)
Vitamin B12 deficiency was induced in 15 small East African goats by feeding cobalt deficient Chloris guyana hay (containing 0.02 mg of Co/kg dry matter) over a 25week experimental period. Cobalt was supplemented as an ...
