Cattle Production In The Humid Zone Of South Eastern Nigeria
ABSTRACT
A study on cattle production in the humid zone of southeastern Nigeria was carried out in Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike. The study was focused on comparing some production
parameters in the area with results obtainable from the northern parts of
Nigeria. The results obtained showed that season had a significant influence
on calving, sex had a significant effect on birth weight of calves (p<O.OS),
the dreaded disease trypanosonliasis was absent, the calving percentage of
the herd of 63.64% is satisfactory and the calving intervals of the different
breeds that make up the herd compared favourably with that of their
northern counterparts.
At the end of this work, recommendations were made as to encourage
production of cattle in other parts of the southeastern Nigeria. This will help
meet the protein needs of the country.
