Modelling banana growth and soil organic matter dynamics with the century model.
(University of Nairobi, 1998)
The Century model was developed to simulate a banana re-establishment experiment in Mukono District, Uganda. Assumptions of assimilate allocation patterns between shoots, roots and bunches were necessary. The complex pattern ...
Performance of Sahiwal calves fed on colostrum preserved by different methods.
(University of Nairobi, 1998)
Colostrum preserved by 5 different methods was fed to 35 preweaning Sahiwal and Sahiwal crossbred calves from 6-30-days-old for a period of 4 weeks. Seven control calves were fed whole milk (WM). Colostrum was treated with ...
Prediction of the useful energy in tropical feeds from proximate composition and in vivo derived energetic contents. 1. Metabolisable energy.
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Multiple regression models were used to predict ME from the proximate composition of 345 tropical forages and 37 concentrates. ME was derived from published digestibility experiments with sheep and cattle. Linear, quadratic ...
Antibacterial activity of isometamidium
(University of Nairobi, 1998)
Effects of sodium chloride salinity on seed germination, seedling root and shoot extension growth of four sorghum, Sorghum bicolor cultivars.
(University of Nairobi, 1995)
Seed germination and seedling root and shoot extension of 4 sorghum cultivars decreased with increasing salinity. Transfer of seeds that had not germinated in various salt treatments to distilled water, only slightly ...
Effect of feeding system on adequacy of diet minerals for lactating cows
(University of Nairobi, 1993)
To what extent different sources of feed cover the mineral requirements of lactating cows in the absence of mineral supplementation was studied. Lactating Friesians, Ayrshires and their crosses with zebu were used in 90-day ...
Herd dynamics modelling applied to a venison ranch in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1992)
In regions where the rainfall is too low for crop production, the conversion of herbage biomass by animals yields highly valued products In the hostile conditions of Africa's dry lands livestock is reared with difficulty, ...
The preventive effect of the fungus Duddingtonia flagrans on trichostrongyle infections of lambs on pasture
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Four groups of 8 parasite-naive Dorset-crossbred lambs, 3–4 months old, were turned out on infected pasture on 2 May and allocated to 4 separate paddocks. From May to September, 2 groups received Duddingtonia flagrans (106 ...
Eimeria apsheronica in the goat: endogenous development and host cellular response.
(University of Nairobi., 1990-08)
Most first generation schizonts of Eimeria apsheronica developed in the jejunum; others were distributed throughout the small intestine and occasionally in the caecum. Some were also found in the mesenteric lymph nodes, ...
Development of the definitive kidney in the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis)
(University of Nairobi, 1996-04)
Formation of the definitive kidney in Macaca fascicularis embryos was investigated using light and electron microscopy. Appearance of the definitive kidney at stage 14 was indicated by the ureteric bud invading the ...
