Ten calves were slaughtered according to different seasons (winter, summer and autumn) to examine the muscle characteristics according to season. Muscle samples were taken from Longissimus thoracis (LT) at the 5th thoracic vertebra. The overall chemical composition of LT showed mean values of 3.1, 17.2, 2.7 and 1.6% for DM, crude proteins, total lipids and fatty acids and ash, respectively. Unlike for CP and ash (P<0.001), no significant differences were found between seasons in DM and total lipids. Unlike in cattle, the results obtained from electrophoresis test indicated the presence of two muscle fibers only. The mean percentages were: type I 66.6% and type IIa 33.4%. Higher proportions (P<0.001) were observed in winter for type I (85.2%) and in autumn for type Ha (47.1%). Positive correlation coefficient was observed (0.80) between the proportion of fibers type IIa and isocitrate ...

Following this, 9 small commercial households, 3 of each division were selected based on milk production activity. The aim of the research was to study, quantify the socio-economic aspects and to develop recommendations for future research and development of the small commercial households in the peri–urban region of KNP. The study revealed that livestock production especially dairying was ranked first (75.6%) as the most important source of household income in the study area. Income from livestock was used on the farm needs, family needs, house construction, investment and stock replacement. The majority of farmers (71.7%) sold their products at the farm gate homestead or neighbourhood (0-15 km), while 28.3 % at markets far from their location (16 - < 25 km). On average, Silate and Kadaro households earned 214.7 Sudanese Pound (SDG) and 322.5 SDG a year per cow, respectively. In terms of economic profitability, both Silate and Kadaro households engaged in livestock production earned a profit. High variability between the three divisions was observed due to loses of money e.g. Halfaya (-118.6 SDG). It could be concluded that under the current husbandry practices, the contribution of livestock to small commercial farmers in KNP was satisfactory but does not fulfil farmers’ goals.
