Effect of weaning age on growth performance of crossbred pigs reared up to 70 kg body weight under intensive system
(Intergrity Research Journals, 2016-11-08)
This study investigated the effect of weaning age on growth performance of crossbred piglets reared up to 70 kg body weight (BW) under intensive system from May to November 2013. The experiment was conducted in a completely ...
Growth performance of different strains of indigenous Tswana chickens under intensive management system
(Academic Journals, 2012-04-26)
Indigenous Tswana chickens are traditionally kept under free range production system and their growth performance under an intensive management system have not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was therefore to ...

spectroscopy (EDS), Scanning electron ...
Indigenous Tswana pig production characteristics and management practices in southern districts of Botswana
(Springer, 2019-02-14)
Indigenous animal genetic resources are vital in agriculture especially in the era of climate change because they are adapted to the harsh local conditions. Therefore, their conservation through utilisation is necessary. ...
Applying genomic information for conservation and utilisation of the indigenous Tswana goat of Botswana
(2018)
The indigenous Tswana constitutes 71% of the Botswana goat population (Botswana statistics, 2013). It is well adapted to the harsh conditions of the country such as poor nutrition, frequent droughts, high heat, diseases ...

(AOSIS, 2016-06-13)
A retrospective study covering a period of ten years (2001–2010) was conducted using postmortem meat inspection records of the Department of Veterinary Services in Gaborone to determine the prevalence of bovine fasciolosis ...
Influence of stocking density on growth performance of family chicks reared up to 18 weeks of age in under an intensive system
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2014)
The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of stocking density on growth performance of family chicks reared up to 18 weeks of age under intensive system. A total of 248 day old chicks were randomly assigned ...
Ultrasound measurements of live and carcass traits in Tswana goat kids raised under semi-intensive system in South-eastern Botswana
(SpringerLink, 2012-11-12)
The aim of this study was to characterise ultrasound measurements of live and carcass traits in intact males, females and castrated Tswana goat kids from birth to 12 months of age raised under semi-intensive system in ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in ghrelin gene and the resulting genetic variants at ghrelin locus in different strains of indigenous Tswana chickens
(Academic Journals, 2012-05-12)
Ghrelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide which also affects feed intake in chickens. Ghrelin is encoded by chicken ghrelin gene (cGHRL) found in chromosome 7. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported ...
