Carcass characteristics of adult sheep and goat breeds in the subhumid and semi-arid zones of Cameroon
Data from slaughter (LWT) and warm carcass (HCWT) weights and dressing-out percentages (CYD%) of 209 Uda (Sahel) and 26 Djallonke sheep and 105 Djallonke goats were analysed by fitting a least-squares fixed-effects model. The model consisted of the effects of breed and sex on LWT and CYD% and the effects of breed, sex and LWT (as covariate) on HCWT for the sheep data. The effect of sex alone on LWT and CYD% was fitted for the goat data. As for the goat carcass data, HCWT was regressed on LWT for each sex subclass. Effect of breed significantly affected all carcass traits in the sheep.
Cassava as livestock feed in Africa. Proceedings of a workshop
The aim of the workshop is to collect information on traditional African processing technologies with emphasis on cassava as a livestock feed, to review the marketing and economics of cassava by-products, to recommend strategies for future research and development on the processing and utilization of cassava as a livestock feed, and to disseminate up-to-date information on cassava.

Carbon sequestration potentials of semi-arid rangelands under traditional management practices in Borana, Southern Ethiopia
A study to determine carbon sequestration potentials and soil attributes was conducted in Borana rangelands of southern Ethiopia under communally grazed areas, grazing enclosures (rangelands enclosed for 20 years for dry season grazing) and rangelands managed by prescribed fire for more than five years after fire application. Soil attributes were collected from three soil depths (0–10 cm, 10–20 cm and 20–30 cm) and both aboveground and belowground carbon were estimated in all treatments.
