A Comparative Assessment Of Management Practices And Livelihood Roles Of Indigenous Chicken In Pastoral And Agricultural Households Of Kenya

ABSTRACT Indigenous chicken (IC), which have traditionally been an important component of livelihoods among the agricultural households are being integrated into pastoral livelihoods as a diversification strategy. The goal is to reduce vulnerability of ruminant livestock to recurring drought events. However, sustainable utilization of IC could suffer in the absence of adoption of improved management practices supported with access to inputs and output markets and advisory services which supp...

Effect Of Added Graded Levels Of Prebiotics In The Diet On Performance Of Sudan Desert Sheep

This study was conducted at research farm unit, College of Animal production, Sudan University of Science and Technology from March to May 2016, to evaluate the effect of added graded levels of prebiotics to the diet on performance of Sudan desert sheep. The studied performance parameter were dry matter intake, daily weight gain, final body weight and feed conversion ratio, beside effects on immune system in association with hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell and liver’s enzyme...

Modeling Associations Between Intensification Interventions And Sustainability In Smallholder Dairy Farms In The Kenyan Highlands

ABSTRACT Increased herd productivity and incomes can be obtained with the intensification of smallholder dairy production when applying genetics, ecological and socio-economic interventions. However, intensification can also result in negative externalities including depletion of natural resources, land use changes and human health risks. This study evaluated the association of intensification interventions with herd productivity, natural resource depletion and human health risks using a set ...

Physio-Chemicals Characteristics of Yoghurt from Camel’s Milk and Cow’s Milk in Different Ratios

This study was carried out to assessment yoghourt produced by camel's milk and cow's milk, From September to November (2014),Camel milk was collected from camel research center University of Khartoum ( Shambat),and cows milk are collected from animal production dairy farm college of agriculture studies, Sudan University of science and Technology (Shambat). Fresh camel and cows milk were analyzed and increased their total solids to 15% by skimmed powder milk to improve the coagulation c...

Comparative Study of Physicochemical Properties of Cow, Goat and Camel Milk

This study was carried out to evaluate and compare the physicochemical properties of milk samples from three types of animals: cows, goats and camels. The milk samples were collected from 3 animals, (3×3) (Cow, Goats and Camels) individually from East of the Nile, )Khartoum- State) and analyzed for physicochemical properties including: moisture, fat, protein, ash lactose, total solids, pH, total acidity, freezing point, Boiling point, and specific gravity. The results showed that cow�...
