(Elservier, 2002-02-25)
Samples of four parasitic plants, Tapinanthus lugardii, Erianthenum ngamicum, Viscum rotundifolium, and V. verrucosum were obtained from Sebele Research Station and Sunnyside Ranch. Sampling took place in the 6 months ...
xpression of Anaplasma marginale Ankyrin Repeat-Containing Proteins during Infection of the Mammalian Host and Tick Vector
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011)
Transmission of tick-borne pathogens requires transition between distinct host environments with infection and replication in host-specific cell types. Anaplasma marginale illustrates this transition: in the mammalian host, ...
Assessment of genetic diversity and relationship of the two Sanga type cattle of Botswana based on microsatellite markers.
(Springer, 2022-06-10)
The study was performed to evaluate genetic variation on two Sanga type cattle found in Botswana: Tswana and Tuli using twelve microsatellite markers. All amplified loci were polymorphic with 75 and 77 alleles genotyped ...
Effect of climate change on dairy production in Botswana and its suitable mitigation strategies.
(Science-line Publishers, 2013)
This paper explores the effects of climate change on dairy production in Botswana and mitigation strategies are suggested. Dairy farming has not experienced growth over time rendering the country heavily dependent on milk ...
Genetic variation from 12 microsatellite makers in an indigenous Tswana goat flock in South-eastern Botswana
(Livestock Research for Rural Development, 2013)
The objective of this study was to preliminary characterize genetic variability from 12 microsatellite markers in an indigenous Tswana goat flock in South-eastern Botswana. The genomic DNA from 87 partially pedigreed ...
Placental mass of grazing Tswana goats kidding at two different periods during the dry season
(Science Alert, 2004)
Two trials were carried out to investigate placental mass of Tswana goats kidding at two different periods during the dry season. Treatments groups with similar weights in Trial l were: Supplementing throughout the trial ...

Background and Aim: Bovine cysticercosis is defined as a foodborne parasitic zoonotic disease of cattle caused by the larval stage of the human tapeworm Taenia saginata. In Botswana, bovine cysticercosis has inflicted major ...
Effect of supplementation on reproduction of wet season kidding Tswana goats
(South African Society for Animal Science, 2002)
Seventy-seven mature Tswana goats were used to investigate the effect of supplementation on reproduction of wet season kidding animals. Treatments groups with similar weights were: Unsupplemented Control (UC), Continuous ...
Carcass characteristics and meat quality of ross 308 broiler chickens fed malted red and white sorghum-based diets
(MDPI [Commercial Publisher], 2022-06-28)
In this study, the effects of malted sorghum-based diets (MSBD) on carcass characteristics and meat quality were investigated in broiler chickens. Two-week-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated to three groups (each ...
