Clinical pulmonary adenomatosis of sheep produced experimentally.
(1970)A preparation of ovine adenomatous lung produced clinical pulmonary adenomatosis in seven out of ten sheep inoculated intratracheally. They showed dyspnoea, occasional cough and watery discharge through the nostrils in ... -
Comparison of four serological tests in the diagnosis of caprine brucellosis.
(1980)Results from four serological tests for diagnosing brucellosis--serum tube agglutination (SAT), agar gel immunodiffusion (AGIT), Rose Bengal plate (RBPT) and complement fixation (CFT)--were compared using sera from goats ... -
Progressive interstitial pneumonia (maedi) of sheep in Kenya.
(1970)The disease is manifested clinically by dyspnoea, increased respiration rate, fits of coughing, fatigue and emaciation, and pathological and serological studies suggest that it is similar if not identical to Icelandic ... -
Prediction of the advancing wetting front in border strip irrigation
(University of Nairobi, 1980)Four methods of predicting the advance of the water front in border irrigation are compared for nine sets of experimental data reported in the literature. The water balance method (Bishop et al., 1967), the method of ... -
Design of irrigation border checks.
(University of Nairobi, 1982)Simple techniques to design border checks where full ponding results after the inflow stream has been cut off, are discussed. A simple method to predict recession flow and compute storage and application efficiencies without ... -

The effects of cultivation on some physical and chemical properties of three Kenyan soils.
(University of Nairobi, 1989)Changes in organic C, N, CEC and bulk density of three intensively used Kenyan soils were evaluated by comparing cultivated and adjacent uncultivated soils. Results show that cultivation can lead to adverse or beneficial ... -
The effect of cultivation on organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus of some Kenyan red soils.
(University of Nairobi, 1988)In a comparative study of cultivated and uncultivated adjacent soils, changes in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus were examined. Three soil profiles (0-100 cm) were sampled at increments of 10 cm and analysed. The 3 sample ... -
Radiant energy conversion in three cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris.
(University of Nairobi, 1985)DM accumulation, leaf area development and radiant energy interception were measured in P. vulgaris cv. Mwezi Moja, Canadian Wonder and Rose Coco grown at Nairobi in 1982. Max. interception of photosynthetically active ... -
