In 1986, ILCA carried out informal surveys at Dogollo and Inewari in order to understand the farming systems. Such surveys were also conducted by the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) at Ginchi in 1986 and by the Alemaya University of Agriculture at Ada/Debre Zeit in 1988/89. This was foll...

This paper deals briefly with the potential of cow traction in the Ethiopian highlands farming systems with particular reference to energy requirements and feeding and strategies. Examines cow energy requirements for work, maintainance, milk production, and pregnancy; and effect of draft work on ...


Zerbini, E.Asamenew, G.[Potential of cow traction in the Ethiopian highlands farming system]Potential of cow traction in the Ethiopian highlands farming system

Crop and livestock subsystems in the Ethiopian highlands interact with each other in many wasy. The livestock subsystem has output, input, asset, and security and investment functions in the farming system. Animal traction and crop residues are the prominent binding elements of the crop and lives...


Asamenew, G.Zerbini, E.Tedla, A.[Crop-livestock interactions and implications for animal traction research in the Ethiopian highlands]Crop-livestock interactions and implications for animal traction research in the Ethiopian highlands

Presents the concept and procedure followed to develop an appropriate technology to increase productivity on Vertisols (heavy clay soils) in Ethiopia. Describes the Vertisol farming systems in the Ethiopian highlands and discusses the on-farm technology validation process. Examines yields of majo...


Asamenew, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Concepts and procedures for the Development of improved Vertisol technology Development in Ethiopia]Concepts and procedures for the Development of improved Vertisol technology Development in Ethiopia

Discusses intermediate technology for increased food and feed production from deep black clay soils (vertisols) in the Ethiopian highlands. Presents examples of improved soil/water/nutrient management on vertisols discussing tillage and animal powered surface drainage and its effect on crop yield...

This paper discusses particularly the approach that may need to be followed in cattle milk and meat research in a farming systems perspective. The key characteristics of on-farm research, an integral part of farming systems research, are summarised, and the stages of farming systems research rela...


Asamenew, G.[Lecture notes on the concept and practice of FSR to improve cattle milk and meat production in sub-Saharan Africa]Lecture notes on the concept and practice of FSR to improve cattle milk and meat production in sub-Saharan Africa

Outlines an economic evaluation of an improved surface drainage technology, using the broad-bed-maker (BBM) on-farm in four different vertisol areas of the Ethiopian highlands. Presents data on crops and number of areas covered for the on-farm drainage technology, on cost structure of the BBM, an...
