(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1985)
Species identified include Amaranthus hybridus [cruentus], Crotalaria brevidens, Solanum nigrum, Gynandropsis gynandra and Erucastrum arabicum. They normally grow wild in most parts of Kenya and the leaves are used as ...
Contents of nitrate-N and thiocyanate ions in kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala DC) leaves from kale-growing areas in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1988)
The leaves were sampled in Nov. 1984 and Mar. 1985 from the Kisii, Kericho, Nakuru, Nyahururu, Naivasha, Limuru, Karatina and Kibwezi areas. The results indicated significant differences in nitrate-N contents and thiocyanate ...
The incidence of bovine mastitis in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1978)
Clinical mastitis was recorded in 294 of 3376 cows in 1971, 476 of 4744 in 1972 and 200 of 4595 in 1973. The California mastitis test was applied to 214 cows in 15 herds during 1972, and subclinical mastitis was detected ...
Epidemiological aspects of important diseases of camels in selected areas of Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1982)
Periodic laboratory tests and clinical examinations were carried out in 4 herds of dromedaries between August 1979 and January 1981. Trypanosomiasis (probably due to Trypanosoma evansi) was endemic in all herds; T. congolense ...

Sulfur supplementation of Hereford X Boran steers grazing Sorghum almum
(University of Nairobi, 1983)
Two groups of Hereford X Boran castrated cattle grazed on fertilized grass (Sorghum almum) with sulphur 0.11 to 0.18% for 10 months. Weight gain by those given a salt lick with 8% sulphur did not differ significantly from ...
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 ...
The nutritive value of four arable farm by-products commonly fed to dairy cattle by small-scale farmers in Kenya. I. Organic structural components and in vitro digestibility.
(University of Nairobi, 1983)
Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content of (a) maize stalks (60.9%), (b) maize cobs (86.7%) and (c) sugarcane tope (63.3%) was significantly higher than that of (d) sugarcane stalks (40.6%). DM digestibility (DMD) from in ...
