Notes on Blood-Sucking Flies in the Ilorin Province, Nigeria

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  10 July 2009

Extract

The Nigerian Agricultural Department is endeavouring to find cattle with a sufficiently high degree of natural resistance to trypanosomiasis to enable them to be utilised for mixed farming in the Ilorin Province and elsewhere in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. In April 1935, a herd of West African Shorthorn cattle was obtained from the Gold Coast and these and other animals, purchased in Nigeria, were established at a central stock farm at Ilorin.
