A study was conducted at the Asella Station in the Arsi Region of Ethiopia to investigate the dairy performance of purebred indigenous Arsi and Friesian x Arsi crosses under different pre- and post-partum supplementary feeding regimes. Lactational performance of both genotypes was not affected by...

Characterization is important in genetic resources conservation and utilization, but few information about indigenous livestock types are available. In the present study data from 22,934 goats were collected by a rapid survey method to characterize goats of Eritrea and northern and western Ethiop...

Soil organic carbon is a fundamental soil resource base. However, there is limited information on soil organic carbon storage due to influence of tillage type and soil texture under smallholder production systems in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was therefore to quantify soil organic carb...

In this video, Nigatu Alemayehu tells us why the exhibition is needed and who partcipated. The main objective of the exhibition was to transfer knowledge betwee...
A selection programme was set up in 1983 in the Ivory Coast to improve the growth and live weight of the indigenous Djallonke sheep using an open nucleus breeding system. Selection was based on male individual weights at 80, 180 and 365 days of age. Multiple sires were used in farmers' flocks. In...
