Research Budget

An increasing proportion of Agricultural Research funding is being directed to biotechnology and to cell and molecular biology. This shift in funding has two effects on animal production research. First it provides a certain amount of novel information and technology with which to improve current production systems. Second, it leaves less of the research budget for whole animal experiments. It behoves us therefore to keep abreast of the achievements and aspirations of the molecular and cellular biologists. The diverse interests and expertise of the BSAP membership in research, development, advisory work and teaching make the Society a unique forum for conducting the open and on-going debate that is needed to ensure that the results of modern biotechnology are examined critically and applied to the animal production industries in an efficient and acceptable manner.

Effects of environmental factors viz, hirth year, parity, sex, birth type and season of birth on preweaning survival of Red Sokoto goats (RSG) using production records kept between 1978 - 1985 at the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI), Shika-Zaria were investigated. Birth year, parity and season of birth significantly (P<0.05) affected preweaning survival while birth type and sex of kid did not. The mean survival to weaning at 3 months was 72% and was highest in does with 4 or more parities (77%) and least in primiparous does (66%). Survival was significantly higher during harmattan and worse during the dry season. Losses were more concentrated in the O 7 days of life in primiparous does during the dry season. Overall productivity of does and interac lions between parity and birth cype significantly affected survival. Breeding RSG older than one year to kids preferably during 'harmattan' would improve preweaning survival of the kids.
