Progressive interstitial pneumonia (maedi) of sheep in Kenya.
(1970)The disease is manifested clinically by dyspnoea, increased respiration rate, fits of coughing, fatigue and emaciation, and pathological and serological studies suggest that it is similar if not identical to Icelandic ... -

A proposed model to predict the development of level bench terraces from steep backslope terraces.
(University of Nairobi, 1981)A simple model has been proposed to predict changes in terrace conformation, during the development of level bench terraces from steep backslope terraces by natural processes of erosion and normal tillage practices. The ... -
Prospects and constraints facing women small-scale dairy farmers in Vihiga district, Western Kenya
(Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nairobi, KenyaDepartment of Public Health, pharmacology and Toxicology, 2006-07)One of the major constraints to increased dairy production is lack of adequate feed. The Government of Kenya has encouraged the development of forage technology for adoption to address this constraint. The low adoption has ... -
Prospects and constraints in smallholder farmers' adoption of multiple soil carbon enhancing practices in Western Kenya
(Elservier, 2020-03)Most smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are adversely affected by low soil fertility, land degradation and climate change-related shocks such as drought. These problems lead to low productivity and low household ... -
Prospects for a rapid in vitro regeneration system for propagation of the pesticidal tree Melia volkensii, Gurke.
(1987)An in vitro system for regeneration of Melia volkensii Gurke shoots is described. M. volkensii, a drought-tolerant tree native to East Africa, has under-utilized potential as a source of botanical pesticides. Extracts ... -
Prospects For Bio-Fortification Reducing Micronutrient Deficiency In Kenya: Lessons From Sugar Fortification Programmes
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Food fortification has proven to be an important strategy for addressing micronutrient deficiency that includes vitamin A, iron and zinc deficiency in most developing countries. Development efforts have thus focused on ... -
Protective effect of a prime-boost strategy with plasmid DNA followed by recombinant adenovirus expressing TgAMA1 as vaccines against Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice
(2012)A heterologous prime-boost strategy with priming plasmid DNA followed by recombinant virus expressing relevant antigens is known to stimulate protective immunity against intracellular parasites. In this study, we have ... -
Protein and Amino Acid Digestibilities for Chickens of Reconstituted and Boiled Sorghum Grains Varying in Tannin Contents
(1985)Two high and one low tannin sorghum type grains were used to study the effect of reconstitution (high moisture storage) and boiling treatments of the grain on protein and amino acid digestibilities. One lot of the grains ... -
Protozoa and the decline of Rhizobiurn populations added to soil
(Laboratory of Soil Microbiology, Department of Agronomy, Cornell University Ithaca, New YorkDepartment of Soil Science. University of Nairobi, 1975)A fall in Rhizobium abundance occurred in nonsterile soil inoculated with large numbers of the root-nodule bacteria but many of the rhizobia still survirved. No such decline was evident in sterile soil. Protozoa feeding ... -
Provision of vitamin A through utilization of local food materials in rural parts of western Kenya
(2007)High prevalence and the negative consequences of the deficiencies resulting from inadequate intake of iron, iodine and vitamin A have resulted in focused global efforts to alleviate them. Vitamin A deficiency which has ... -
Proximate chemical composition of street foods and their energy and protein contribution to the nutrition of manual workers in Nairobi
(Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Technology, University of Nairobi, 1998)Street foods were sampled from 12 vending sites around construction sites and industrial areas in Nairobi. The foods were analyzed for proximate composition and assessed for their contribution to energy and protein RDAs ... -
Proximate composition and mineral contents of six common Kenyan varieties of beans (phaseolus vulgaris)
(Taylor and Francis GroupDepartment of Food Science, Nutrition and Technology, University of Nairobi, 1989)Dry beans from six Kenyan common varieties were analysed for proximate composition and for nine minerals. There was little variation in the proximate composition but considerable variation was observed in the mineral ... -
Pruning and trellising purple passion fruit. I. Yields and seasonal trends.
(University of Nairobi, 1980)In an experiment in which one-wire and 3-wire trellising as well as severe, selective, light and no pruning were compared, it was found that pruning did not increase yields or reduce the usual decline in yield over a 3-year ... -
Pruning and trellising purple passion fruit. II. Disease incidence, fruit size and quality.
(University of Nairobi, 1980)Trellising did not affect fruit size or quality. Three-wire trellising produced more diseased [Alternaria passiflorae] laterals and fruit than 1-wire trellising. Light and selective pruning produced heavier and better ... -
