Genetic evaluation of Ethiopian Boran cattle and their crosses with Holstein Friesian for growth performance in central Ethiopia
Genetic diversity is the basis for present day diversified living systems and future genetic improvement needs. This diversity should be properly utilized, improved and conserved. Conservation and improvement strategies ought to be based on proper genetic characterization in association with phen...

Genetic variability of five indigenous Ethiopian cattle breeds using RAPD markers
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...

On-farm phenotypic characterization of cattle genetic resources in south and north Wollo Zones of Amhara Region, north eastern Ethiopia
Despite the significant contribution of cattle to the country, little attention has been given to identify, characterize and conserve the diversity of cattle breeds. This paper presents a unique cattle population found in a monastery in the northwest of Ethiopia referred to as Mahibere–Silassie c...
