Breed additive and non-additive effects, and genetic parameters of milk fat, protein, solids not fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) percents, were estimated in Ethiopian Boran cattle and their crosses with Friesian in central Ethiopia. Ethiopian Boran cattle were consistently superior (P<0.01) to th...

A comparative study on the response of four indigenous cattle breeds of Ethiopia, namely Abigar, Horro, Sheko and Gurage, to natural challenge of trypanosomosis in the Tolley–Gullele area of the Ghibe valley has been undertaken from August 2000 until August 2004. Fifty female yearlings each of Ho...

Sheko cattle owners usually have limited control over breeding practice of their cattle. This is because they allot fractions of their time and resources in controlling breeding practices. Therefore, most often mating is natural and uncontrolled and this would result in non-descript herd structur...

We conducted a two-part study in the native home areas of four cattle breeds, Abigar, Gurage, Horro and Sheko, in south-western Ethiopia. The first part of the study investigated livestock keeper knowledge about trypanosomosis and trypanotolerance. For each breed 60 livestock keepers were intervi...

Economic comparisons among Ethiopian Boran and their crosses with HolsteinFriesian were made in the central highlands of Ethiopia. Data collected fromexperimental dairy cattle herds of the International Livestock Research Institute(ILRI) at the Debre Zeit Research Station, Ethiopia were used. The...
