“…Information relating to pure-bred zebu cows, which are the most common breed, is scarce under such conditions. The milk production of the cows in the present study remained low, but was similar to the study by Sidibé et al (2004). However, the length of the suckling period had a significant effect on milk yield and amount of saleable milk.…”

Eighteen multiparous Zebu cows in their third lactation and their calves were randomly allocated to three suckling periods, up to 3, 4 or 5 months of age of the calf. The cows were individually fed natural hay, cottonseed cake and molasses. At 2 months of age, all calves were separated from their mothers, and were offered cottonseed cake mixed with molasses and Mucuna hay individually. The calves stimulated milk ejection by suckling 30 seconds and suckled the residual milk for 45 minutes after milking. The dry matter intake of cows (3.68, 3.29 and 3.31% of body weight) and calves (2.88, 2.80 and 2.55% of body weight) for suckling up 3, 4 and 5 months of age, respectively, was not significantly affected by treatment and neither was the growth rate of the calves (178, 157 and 149 g/d for 3, 4 or 5 months suckling period, respectively). Cows suckling their calves up to 5 months had significantly higher milk yield and higher amount of saleable milk (1.97, 2.93 and 3.69 kg/cow/d for 3, 4 and 5 months suckling period, respectively). The fat content of the milk decreased with increasing length of the suckling period while the protein content was not affected. In conclusion, a suckling period of 5 months resulted in higher total milk production and higher amount of saleable milk but did not seem to have any effect on calf growth when the calves were supplemented.

The prevalence of intra-mammary infections in dairy herds was studied in Hamdallaye, Niger. A total of 956 milk samples were collected in 2007 from 239 lactating cows of four local breeds in eight traditional herds; the first sampling was undertaken in the dry season at morning milking, and the second in the rainy season at evening milking. Staphylococcus aureus, Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CNS) and environmental microorganisms were detected in significantly (p < 0.05) more samples in the rainy season, 55.2%, than in the dry season, 27.1%. Statistically significant (P < 0.05) differences in prevalence were observed among herds and according to lactation number. Infections were assigned to four classes, according to the major pathogen, and the respective mean somatic cell counts during the dry season were: S. aureus, 775 x 10(3) cells/ml; CNS, 447 x 10(3) cells/ml; environmental microorganisms, 407 x 10(3) cells/ml; and non-infected, 262 x 10(3) cells/ml. Most of the tested strains were sensitive to antibiotics, and selected strains of S. aureus (n = 15) were negative to the multiplex PCR tests for production of enterotoxins.

“…En effet, la baisse de la pluviométrie a permis à la race Zébu Peulh de s'étendre à tout le Burkina Faso malgré sa sensibilité à la trypanosomose et est ainsi devenu la vache locale de la majorité des producteurs traditionnels (Sawadogo, 2013). Cependant, sa capacité de production reste très faible, soit 2 à 3 litres de lait par jour en saison des pluies (Sidibé et al, 2004) mais cela peut être améliorée à 5-7 litres si le management comme la traite est bien élaborée (Millogo, 2010). En revanche, certains pensent que son potentiel génétique est tellement faible qu'on ne peut pas l'améliorer substantiellement (Belemsaga et al, 2005).…”

RESUME L'amélioration de la productivité laitière par le métissage a eu des résultats limités dans les pays à faible rendement car les métisses résistent peu aux dures conditions climatiques. Des alternatives ont été envisagées sur la vache Zébu la mieux adaptée aux conditions du Sahel. L'objectif de cette étude était de tester l'effet de la fréquence de traite sur la productivité de la vache Zébu Peulh. Vingt-quatre (24) vaches Zébu Peulh, primipares et multipares situées entre le premier et le quatrième mois de lactation ont été réparties dans un dispositif expérimental en Carré Latin afin de tester l'effet de la fréquence de traite sur la production du lait. Les vaches étaient réparties en trois lots de huit (8) La spectroscopie a été utilisée pour déterminer la composition du lait (Farm Milk Analyzer, Miris AB, Suède). Les données ont été analysées au moyen du logiciel R et le test de Student a été utilisé pour faire les comparaisons au seuil de probabilité P < 0,05. Les résultats montrent que quand on comparait la production d'une traite à celle de deux traites, on obtenait une augmentation significative de la production de 60,6% par jour soit +0,71 litre. Il en était de même en comparant la production de lait d'une traite à celle de trois traites. En plus, quand on comparait la production de lait de deux traites à celle de trois traites, l'augmentation était de 84,9% par jour soit +1,47 litres. L'augmentation de la fréquence de traite à deux et trois traites journalière améliore quantitativement la productivité de la vache sans variations notables de la composition du lait. © 2016 International Formulae Group.

Strategies have been developed to increase local Zebu cattle productivity more adapted and well spread in the Sahel Zone of Africa. The aim of the study was to test effect of milking frequency on Zebu cattle production. Twenty four (24) primiparous and multiparous Zebu cattle between first and fourth month of lactation were allocated in Latin Square experimental design in order to test effect of milking frequency on milk production. All cows were assigned in group of eight corresponding to once daily milking (1X), twice daily milking (2X) and three times daily milking (3X). Milking interval was 24 hours, 11-13 hours and 05-6-13 hours for 1X, 2X and 3X respectively. Milk volume was measured and milk samples were collected each week from july to december 2015. Milk samples were run using infra-red spectroscopy (Farm Milk Analyzer, Miris AB, Sweden). All data were M. SISSAO et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem.
