The gross and histopathological findings in a sheep infected with Dicrocoelium hospes are described briefly from Kenya. The animal had ascites and a severely necrotized liver with scattered haemorrhagic foci. The flukes ...
The effect of level of CaCO3, inoculation and lime pelleting on the nodulation and growth of beans in five acid soils.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1981)
In greenhouse trials with Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Canadian Wonder grown on 5 acid soils of pH 3.9-5.1, nodule wt. decreased with increasing percentage soil C, and at 5.60% C no nodules were observed. In soils with low OM ...
A comparison of indirect methods of estimating feed intake on pasture.
(Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1981)
The data from 12 individual cattle grazed on a
uniform sward were used to compare field sampling
of faeces with three time-schedules for rectal
sampling of faeces. Estimates of digestibility from
a faecal nitrogen ...

(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1981)
Several materials for raising seedlings in containers before field transplanting were studied, namely coir dust, sawdust, coffee parchments, charcoal dust, local peat moss and sisal waste. Data are presented on their ...
Na+ AND Cl~ EFFLUXES AND IONIC REGULATION IN TILAPIA GRAHAMI, A FISH LIVING IN CONDITIONS OF EXTREME ALKALINITY
(1981)
The osmoregularity ability of the cichlid Tilapia grahami enables this fish to live
in conditions of extreme alkalinity (Reite, Maloiy & Aashaug, 1974; Maloiy et al.

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 ...
