**2.3 Sokoto Gudali**

According to [23], Gudali accounts for roughly 32% of the national herd. In Nigeria, there are two distinct forms of Gudali: the Sokoto Gudali (Bokolooji) and the Adamawa Gudali. The Bokoloji is found primarily in Nigeria's northwestern region, but it has recently spread throughout the country [25–27]. The Bokoloji is nearly hornless and has a homogeneous cream, light gray, or dun coloration. It has a lot of dewlap and skin wrinkles on it. The hair is short, and the skin is pigmented and thickIt has droopy ears, which milkers appreciate. At the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI), Shika, the Sokoto Gudali beat the White Fulani in terms of milk yield [24, 25]. The calving interval is 360–450 days. The females have well developed udders with good teats which make them to be regarded as indigenous dairy breed. The average weights at maturity are 330 kg for the female and 450 kg for the male. The average milk production per lactation of the female is 1,500 kg [25].
