Item Breeding Behaviour of Cenchrus Ciliaris in Kenya(1960/1961) Bogdan, A.Y.; Grassland Research StationIn 1955, one tuft of each variety was split, and the splits were planted in adjacent rows to facilitate cross-fertilization if this should occur naturally. To avoid incompatibility due to differences in the time of flowering, seeds were collected only from those panicles that had flowered simultaneously with the other varieties, and this precaution was observed for each generation. Seed from each row was planted in boxes in 1956, and 70 seedlings of each variety were transplanted to adjacent plots at a uniform spacing. This same process was repeated in 1957 and 1958, when 105 plants of each variety were grown. A total of 245 plants of each variety was thus examined during three generations. In all three generations, the plants of each of the six varieties were invariably uniform and true to type. This shows that our varieties do not mix even if grown closely together. They breed in the same way as those investigated by Snyder et al. and should be considered as apomicts.Item A Brief Board Of Managements Visit To National Animal Husbandry Research Centre Naivasha(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 2002) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe National Animal Husbandry Research Centre (NAHRC) Naivasha is one of the 33 KARl centres with a national mandate to carry out research on animal production covering areas of feeding/nutrition, breeding, and management with reference to dairy cattle (Friesian), dual purpose cattle (Sahiwal) dual-purpose goats, (DPG), poultry and pigs.Item Growth and survival to weaning of crosses of Ayrshire, Brown Swiss and Sahiwal cattle(Alexander K K, 1995) Kahi, A.K.A total of 1443 records from a private ranch in the coastal lowland. tropics of Kenya were used to estimate the comparative calf performance to weaning of the different crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B) and Sahiwal (S). Individual and maternal additive and heterotic effects for, and heritabilities of, and correlations among, the preweaning traits were also estimated.Item Notes on Feeds and Feeding(May, 1939) Ball, R.S.; Department of Agriculture, Colony of KenyaThe effects of Along drought have ephasized again the importance of the adoption of abreeding policy that will not outspace the ability to provide for the animalsthat is to say not to feed economically within the limitations of the individual farmItem Notes on the Utility of Kenya Feeding Stuffs Considered Suitable For Pigs(1960/1961) Payne, W.J.A.; E.A.A.F.R.O., MugugaThe 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.
