Trypanotolerant livestock in west and central Africa. V. 2: Country studies
Trypanotolerant cattle, sheep and goats are reviewed in the 18 countries of West and Central Africa where they are found, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, Congo and Zaire. Classification, distribution, description, performance and productivity are considered. The productivity of trypanotolerant livestock relative to other indigenous types in Africa may well be higher than previously assumed, thus recommendations and possibles locations are presented for cooperative programmes to evaluate their potential and further utilization and to ensure the conservation of endangered breeds. This second volume presents more detailed information on the trypanotolerant livestock found in each of the 18 countries of the study area. Each chapter includes information on the livestock numbers and distribution, on specific trypanotolerant cattle, sheep and goats, on the research and development activities, and lists at the end a selected bibliography.
