Abstract:
SUMMARYThe effects of year of birth, age of dam, sex of calf, month of birth and weaning age on weaning weights of Mashona calves on six commercial farms in Zimbabwe were estimated by least squares procedures from data of 6365 calves born 1977–85. The least squares mean weight at 205 days among farms ranged from 123 to 159 kg while the linear regression coefficients of weight on age ranged from 0·31 to 0·46 kg. Adjustment for weaning age by the average daily gain from birth to weaning failed to remove the dependence of adjusted weight on age. Sex was the most important source of variation and

Abstract:
Abstract Natural water level fluctuations have associated effects on water quality and resident aquatic communities, although their impacts are magnified if the dams have other non-seasonal designated multiple uses. Research demonstrates that excessive water level fluctuations impair ecosystem functioning, ultimately leading to shifts between clear-water and turbid states in shallow lakes. However, these data lack for Manjirenji Dam in Zimbabwe, thus hampering efforts towards effective freshwater resources management in the shallow reservoir. This study analyzed water levels and their fluctuat

Abstract:
The climatic atmosphere in which cattle live is an essential parameter of their environment because of its critical role in their productivity. An adapted cattle building must help to mitigate the effects of climatic stress and allow the farmer to properly control the climatic atmosphere during the production cycle. The most important factors influencing the climatic atmosphere inside a cattle building are temperature, humidity, and greenhouse gas emissions. We propose a case study for a wireless sensor network model placed on a cattle farm, in which each measurement node “mote” collects envir

Abstract:
Rangeland resources play a significant role in household production and sustainability of livelihoods among pastoral communities in Kenya. Although wildlife is one of the rangeland resources, it is viewed by pastoralists as a competitor with livestock for grazing resources rather than an economic resource. It is assumed that competition between wild herbivores and cattle may have an impact on the forage biomass in rangelands as well as on livestock production. It is from this view point of competition between wildlife and livestock for forage resources, that this study assessed effects of fo

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding the factors influencing the perception of climate change can help improve policies for strengthening the adaptive capacity of pastoralists with regard to climate change. Despite this importance, few studies have focused on this issue, especially among cattle farmers. In order to attempt filling this gap, this study analyzed the determinants of the perception of climate change by cattle farmers distributed in the dry and sub-humid tropical zones of Benin as well as the current adaptation strategies developed by these farmers. For this purpose, surveys were carried out through group discussions and an individual questionnaire administered to 360 cattle farmers in the two climatic zones. The data collected related to the sociodemographic characteristics of cattle farmers and their perception of climate change and adaptation strategies. A binary logit model has identified the factors that influence cattle farmers’ perceptions of climate change. The results of the study showed that cattle farmers perceive a drop in rain (at least 77%), an increase in temperature (at least 80%), and violent winds (at least 60%). Breeding experience, level of education of the farmer, household size, membership of a breeders’ organization, and cattle herd size determine these perceptions. Four major groups of adaptation strategies have been developed by farmers to cope with climate change. These are production adjustment strategies, activity diversification strategies, livestock management strategies, and selection strategies. The political implication of this study is that government and development partners should integrate these factors into projects and programs related to climate change.

Abstract:
The tropical and sub-tropical climate in Africa favours multiplication and maintenance of tick vectors and transmission of various pathogens to cattle. Key challenges including acaricide resistance, policy issues, transboundary animal movements, and inadequate veterinary services compromise effective control of tick-borne diseases (TBDs). This chapter discusses important host, pathogen, climatic, and management factors that impact the control of TBDs among cattle in Africa, and which affect the productivity and overall contribution to economic development. The economic losses in cattle production attributed to tick infestation and TBDs in Africa are also reviewed. The use of a sustainable integrated control approach, including vaccination, strategic tick control, surveillance for acaricide resistance, and multi-stakeholder involvement is also evaluated.

Abstract:
Climate is most important factor affecting agriculture, and issues related to climate and its implications have attracted attention of policy makers globally. The farm sector, particularly marginal ecosystems in mountains are vulnerable because of unpredictable variation and severe sink limitations. Efforts to impart resilience to farm and its allied sector are an urgent need. The climatic parameters play very important role to determine type of crops, cattle rearing and the life style adopted by the people. Moreover, weather has a significant impact on crop growth and development. Weather plays a vital role and affects the production and productivity of the crops. According to an estimate, weather contributes 67% variation in productivity and rest of the factors (soil, nutrient and management practices etc.) accounts for 33%. Therefore, there is a need of in-depth analysis of each meteorological parameters and identification of their trend over the years in order to identify and adapt suitable agriculture practices, better adaptable crops, varieties and their duration, time of field preparation, sowing time and irrigation as per the climatic conditions of the region. This will lead farming community to plan strategies of agriculture operation to obtain optimum yield. The climatic data from the meteorological observatory of ICAR-VPKAS, Hawalbagh located at mid hill condition (1250 m amsl) were analyzed for different periods (annual, seasonal, monthly, weekly). It was revealed that rainfall is decreasing over the years but significant (P &lt; 0.05) decrease was recorded at mid hills. The maximum temperature is increasing significantly (P &lt; 0.05) during post-monsoon and winter season however decreasing in monsoon season whereas minimum temperature is decreasing round the year. These changes in rainfall and temperatures are affecting production and productivity of the crops, as hills are largely rainfed. In terms of crop water demand, there is no need to apply irrigation during the rainy season except the transplanted rice. However, during the winter season as there is more than 60% of water deficit to irrigate the crops. The proper understanding of climate is necessary to bring sustainability in hill agriculture by adjusting crop sowing window and other operations as per suitability of the climate.
