An outbreak of a disease characterised by very high mortality occurred in a group of nine calves (1-4 months old) in a zero-grazing unit 2-3 weeks after an introduction of an apparently healthy alien sheep into the calf ...
Optimisation of breeding schemes for litter size, lambing interval, body weight and parasite resistance for sheep in Kenya
(2011)
The current study optimised breeding schemes for litter size (LS), lambing interval (LI), body weight (BW) and gastrointestinal parasite resistance for sheep in Kenya. Selection for the breeding goal traits was performed ...
Acute, sub-chronic and chronic toxicity of Solanum incanum L in sheep in Kenya
(2011)
A study was carried out to determine the toxicity of unripe fruits of Solanum incanum L in sheep. The sheep were orally drenched with dried unripe fruits powder of S. incanum L at dose rates varying from 1,200mg to 3,600 ...

(2005)
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of 95% ethyl alcohol in PAIR technique. Animals with natural infection were randomly divided into two groups. In the test group, cysts (n=7) were punctured, cyst fluid ...
Seasonal patterns of gastrointestinal nematode infections in sheep in a semi-arid Kajiado District of Kenya
(2006)
The seasonal patterns of trichostrongylid nematode infections in Dorper yearlings in a semi-arid area of Kajiado District, Kenya were investigated by analysis faecal egg output, herbage infectivity and post-mortem worm ...
Anthelmintic resistance in nematode parasites of sheep in Denmark
(University of Nairobi., 1997)
The occurrence of anthelmintic resistance on sixteen sheep farms in Denmark was investigated using the faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), the egg hatch assay (EHA) for thiabendazole (TBZ) and a microlarval development ...
Increasing accuracy in estimation of economic values for resistance to gastrointestinal helminths in meat sheep
(2010-03)
The impact of utilising different indices and numbers of index traits in estimation of economic values (EVs) for resistance to gastrointestinal (GI) helminths were investigated. Seven indices based on yearling weight (YW), ...
