The Damara in the context of Southern Africa fat-tailed sheep breeds.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Oct 2011

Almeida André Martinho

Abstract excerpt

Sheep production is one of the most important activities in animal production in tropical regions. Southern Africa (SA) fat-tailed sheep such as the Afrikaner, Namaqua Afrikaner, Nguni, Persian Black Head, Tswana, Pedi, Sabi, and particularly the Damara are important animal genetic resources very well adapted to their harsh home environments. In this review, autochthonous sheep genetic resources of SA are...
