Summary:Studies the health and performance of two strains trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle, susceptible Nguni cattle and their crosses over a three-year period, 1983-1985, at OGAPROV ranch in Gabon; presents the influences of breed and animal age on the prevolence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemia; and estimates the effects of trypanosome infection and breed and cow locatational status on the {PCV and reproductive performance.
