Performance of Tswana pigs with traditional management in SE-Botswana
(Journal of Agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2000)
The performance of Tswana pigs was studied under tmditional management systems. Tswana pigs performed poorer than other indigenous African pigs in reproduction and growth traitscxcept in survival ratc. ln general, indigenous ...
Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) associated with laying chickens at Sebele, Gaborone, Botswana.
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-09-18)
A total of 2083 Culicoides spp. were collected in an ultraviolet light trap hung from the rafters of a laying chicken house at a location in Sebele, giving a mean daily catch of 208.3 biting midges. C. imicola was the most ...
Dry matter and crude protein degradability of four parasitic plants (Mistletoes) associated with browse trees in Botswana
(Springer, 2003)
Four parasitic plants (Tapinanthus lugardii, Erianthenum ngamicum, Viscum rotundifoliumand Viscum verrucosum) associated with browse trees in Botswana were evaluated for the degradability of their dry matter (DM) and crude ...
Do indigenous browse trees influence chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility of parasitic plants?
(Elservier, 2004-08-02)
This study examined the influence of nine browse trees on the chemical composition and in vitro dry matter (DM) digestibility (IVDMD) of parasitic plants (Tapinanthus lugardii, Erianthenum ngamicum, Viscum rotundifolium ...
Effect of traditional processing methods on chemical composition and in vitro true dry matter digestibility of the Mophane worm (Imbrasia belina)
(Elservier, 2007-02)
Effects of traditional processing methods on the nutritional value of Mophane worm (Imbrasia belina) were evaluated. Samples were degutted or not degutted. The worms were further subjected to either cooking for 1 h (remaining ...

Chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility of indigenous finger millet (Eleusine coracana) in Botswana
(Livestock Research for Rural Development, 2004-04)
Samples of three finger millet landraces NPGRC 3001, NPGRC 3002 and NPGRC 3003 were obtained during the vegetative stage (80 days growth) and from straw. They were analysed for ash, Cu and IVDMD. NPGRC 3001 had the highest ...
