A gendered analysis of constraints to cattle production in Ijara sub-county, Kenya
(2013)The livelihoods of communities in Arid and Semi-arid lands are under growing threat due to recurring droughts and presence of animal diseases. This study was carried out among women, men focus groups and key informants ... -
A general overview of Kenya's most problematic grassy weeds
(University of NairobiDepartment of Crop Science, 1991) -
Generalised demodicosis in a Friesian heifer from a zero-grazing unit
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, University of NairobiDepartment of clinical studies, University of Nairobi, 1994)A Friesian heifer with generalised skin lesions was slaughtered after unsuccessful treatment. It had thickened skin with lumps and nodules, with the severely affected parts thrown into folds over the eyelids, ears, most ... -

Genetic and environmental variation in reproductive and lactational performance of Jersey cattle in the coastal lowland semi-humid tropics
(University of Nairobi, 1992)Reproductive and lactational performances, including length of productive life, were evaluated from records for 1960 to 1988 for a Jersey herd in coastal lowland semi-humid Kenya. The herd grazed natural pastures and until ... -
Genetic and morphological characterisation of the Ankole Longhorn cattle in the African Great Lakes region.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Animal Production, 2008-09)The study investigated the population structure, diversity and differentiation of almost all of the ecotypes representing the African Ankole Longhorn cattle breed on the basis of morphometric (shape and size), genotypic ... -
Genetic and phenotypic parameter estimates of growth traits of the Dorper and Dorper X Red Masai sheep.
(Department of Animal Production, University of Nairobi, 1990)Data on 1550 Dorper and Dorper X Masai lambs recorded over a 10-yr period were analysed. The crossbred lambs were from dams having >73.4% Dorper inheritance. The effect of percentage of Dorper inheritance was not significant ... -
Genetic background of attenuated Salmonella typhimurium has profound influence on infection and cytokine patterns in human dendritic cells
(2001)Salmonella typhimurium (ST) can cause infection in man, and attenuated strains are under consideration as live vaccine vectors. However, little is known about the interaction of ST with human dendritic cells (DC). Here, ... -
Genetic Basis, Transferability And Linkage Of Streptomycin And Sulphonamide Resistance Genes In Escherichia Coli From Food Animals In Kenya
(2008)The genetic basis and transferability of streptomycin and sulphonamide resistance was studied in 23 Escherichia coli isolates from food animals in Kenya. Physical linkage of the streptomycin resistance gene strA with ... -

Genetic characterization of a pure relict population of Oreochromis esculentus, an endangered tilapia
(1999)Genetic variation of the Oreochromis esculentus population from Lake Kanyaboli was studied using 24 allozyme loci and three microsatellite loci and compared with four populations of O. niloticus. Results strongly suggest ... -
Genetic divergence in Jatropha curcas L., a potential biofuel crop in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Background: The aim of this research was to estimate the genetic divergence among 49 genotypes of Jatropha curcas L. and to identify potential parental lines needed for breeding high oil and seed yielding cultivars. ...
