Notes on the Utility of Kenya Feeding Stuffs Considered Suitable For Pigs
(1960/1961) Payne, W.J.A.; E.A.A.F.R.O., Muguga
The notes that follow are not in any way meant to be complete, for this is not a minor treatise on pig feeding. They are simply meant to be read in conjunction with Table I of Dr. Dougall's paper and as a guide to the practical farmer who may be using Dr.Dougall's table of nutrient values. Notes on separate feeds are arranged in the same sequence as in Dr. Dougall's table.
The Origin of Domestic Cattle in Africa
(1964) Payne, W.J.A.; Animal Husbandry Division, E.A.A.F.R.O.
A HISTORY of the origin of domestic cattle is one facet of the history of man in Africa. Oliver and Fage [1] have suggested that during the period 7000-5000 B.C., when it is generally believed that cattle were first domesticated in western Asia, there were four types of man in Africa. Bushmen inhabited southern and central Africa, the drier parts of east Africa, and smaller areas all over the continent. Pygmies occupied some of the forest areas. Ancestral Negro and Bantu people lived in the savanna zone between the forest and what is now desert; and proto Hamites occupied North Africa and parts of the highland areas of East Africa. During this period none of these peoples were thought to have possessed domestic livestock.
