Since the infection of internal and external parasites was similar in young and old pigs of both sexes, controlling parasites is of great importance since these generally lead to reduced production and are also of public health concern.

The breeds should be conserved since they are well suited to the harsh environment of Botswana where drought and livestock diseases are ever present and efforts should be undertaken to characterize them genetically and increase their productivity.

The study established that indigenous Tswana pigs are mainly kept and managed by middle-aged and elderly women with lower level of education and no formal employment, which indicates their ignorance of the parasites and diseases affecting the pigs.

Effects of site and degutting on chemical composition of mopane worm were investigated and in vitro true dry matter digestibility (IVTDMD) tended to be high in samples from Maunatlala than those from Moreomabele and Sefophe.

The aims of this experiment were to determine seasonal FECs and coccidial oocysts in these goats and quantify the relationships of these burdens to liveweight and PCV, and to quantify the effects of controlling these parasites during the warm seasons on productivity.

Live body weight could be estimated with accuracy from linear body measurements in Tswana goats which are unique for each sex and age, and more research is required to explore using these models to develop measuring tapes for use by resource poor farmers who keep indigenous TswANA goats.
Effect of Imbrasia belina (westwood), Tylosema esculentum (Burchell) Schreiber and Vigna subterranea (L) Verde as protein sources on growth and laying performance of Tswana hens raised under…
