The haematological parameters monitored varied (P 0.05) by LW at slaughter but crude protein, fat, ash contents and pH values differed significantly (P 0.05), while colour of meat from goats slaughtered at 10kg LW was rated low (P < 0.05). Meat of goats slaughtered at 10 and 12kg LW was more tender (P < 0.05) compared with that of those slaughtered at higher LW while overall acceptability was rated high (P < 0.05) for goats slaughtered at higher LW. It was however, concluded that the haematological parameters, carcass characteristics and meat quality of West African dwarf goats differ with LW at slaughter. Goats slaughtered at 14 and 16kg LW produced high DP and their meat was most acceptable to the panelist on account of preference.","PeriodicalId":75643,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of animal health and production in Africa.

Kada","doi":"10.4314/BAHPA.V59I3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4314/BAHPA.V59I3","url":null,"abstract":"During the dry season in northern Togo, herds are led in search of water sources and natural pasture. These areas are often unfamiliar to the herdsmen and can also pose health risks to the herd. Additionally, migrating animals can spread diseases to other herds. The Savannah Region, in northern of Togo, has experienced recurrent anthrax outbreaks between 2007-2009. In this context, a study was undertaken from June-October 2009 regarding the spatial risk of anthrax in the Savannah Region of northern Togo. The principal objective was to identify the location of anthrax outbreaks in relation to the corridors along which animal movements occur, providing guidance about which areas should be avoided for grazing. The methodological approach was based on interviews of 147 people across 5 categories: 25 veterinarians from the public and private sectors, 84 livestock owners and herdsmen, 24 abattoirs, 3 transhumant herdsman originated from other countries, and 11 representatives of the human health sector. Data collection involved interviews using a pre-designed questionnaire. The results showed that: of the 35 animal outbreak sites of 1997-2008 identified during the interviews, 80% were first detected in the hot, humid period from March-June. Furthermore, 91% of the 35 outbreaks sites of 1997-2008 were situated along the actual transhumant corridors used by herdsmen, which differ from the officially designated corridors and are generally poorly marked out. Consequently, it is possible that livestock movements are a factor in the spread of anthrax and that there is a real and important risk posed by grazing contaminated pasture. The identified outbreak sites should be forbidden for grazing within the context of the regional anthrax control program.","PeriodicalId":75643,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of animal health and production in Africa.

Hence, this survey was implemented to characterise the pig production systems and marketing chain, and to assess people’s awareness of cysticercosis. The survey sites were Western region and Kanifing Municipality of The Gambia; and the ‘departements’ of Bignona, Kolda and Ziguinchor in southern Senegal. Following a census of pigs in these sites, a random sample of 279 households were interviewed using questionnaire on pig management, sales, sanitation and knowledge on cysticercosis. Information on the pig market chain, pig slaughtering and inspection was also collected. The pig population in 1,794 census households was 22,464. Ninety nine percent of 279 interviewed households are Christians, and the four predominant ethnic groups engaged in pig production are Balanta, Jola, Mankagne and Manjago. Ninety percent of the pigs in these households belong to the local breed, and the rest were crosses with exotic breeds. There is no organised pig market infrastructure. Trade in live pigs exist between The Gambia, Senegal and Guinea Bissau. The majority of small holder producers rear few pigs for subsistence investing low inputs in feeding, housing and health care. The minority produce pigs for commercial purposes with more inputs in feeding, housing and health care. Although porcine and human cysticercosis are endemic in the region, only sixty four percent of respondents were aware of porcine cysticercosis and none knew how it is transmitted between pigs and humans. Educating the population on the disease could help minimise its transmission.","PeriodicalId":75643,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of animal health and production in Africa.

The animals were selected from the flock for slaughter using stratified random sampling based on breed. Testis and epididymis of various age groups of animals were inspected after careful identification of the animal. During the study, various abnormalities in testis and the epididymis were observed grossly. Testicular atrophy was the most frequent genital abnormality encountered in both species followed by epididymitis in bucks and sperm granuloma in rams. The incidence of sperm granuloma was higher (p 0.05). Generally 17% of total examined animals were unfit for breeding as they have genital abnormalities of unknown etiology. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that testicular atrophy, epididymitis, sperm granulomas and cryptorchidism of unknown etiologies dominated reproductive pathologies in bucks and rams.","PeriodicalId":75643,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of animal health and production in Africa.

This paper gives an overview of the various activities in the field of tsetse and trypanosomosis research and control that have led to the successful implementation of control campaigns and their positive impact on livestock production. Over the years, much effort had been put in the development of control tools and their implementation in Burkina Faso. A situation is made with the different campaigns against the T&T implemented in Burkina Faso, mainly in the patoral zones of Sideradougou and Yale. The life-time and achievements of these campaigns are discussed. The present situation of T&T is also discussed, especially the epidemiology of animal trypanosomosis, the innovations in diagnosis, social and economical impact, trypanotolerance and chemioresistance against trypanocides, appeared during the 1980s in the province of Kenedougou. Furthermore, the use of remote sensing to identify high risk zones in the country and the tsetse population genetics are described. Finally, conclusions are drawn to improve future control strategies of the Pan-African Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) in Burkina Faso.","PeriodicalId":75643,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of animal health and production in Africa.

The grasses cut from experimental plots were used as experimental diets 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Animals were randomly distributed (after acclimatization) to the four treatments using a completely randomized experimental design (CRD). The initial weight, final weight and average feed intake were monitored while average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance were determined. All the data obtained were subjected to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) as packaged by SAS (2000). The nutrient intake was significantly (P<0.05) influenced with T2 (2.5m legume inter row spacing) having the highest value. Final weight gain and average daily weight were significantly higher in T2. It gradually decreased as the legume inter-row spacing increased. The nutrient digestibility as well as nitrogen balance followed the same trend. It can be inferred from this finding that varied legume inter-row spacing influenced the nutritional potential of the grass, which also affected the performance of the animal fed the grasses.","PeriodicalId":75643,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of animal health and production in Africa.
