Milk yield, milk composition and body weight change of crossbred dairy cows (Holstein Friesian X Zebu) were studied in the urban and peri-urban dairy production systems in the Addis Ababa milk shed between December 1997 and November 1998. Ninety-seven cows, with parities above two and at the begi...

This paper revises the evolutionary history of the stem root of the genus Equus from Eocene period (54 million years before present, MYBP) to present. It also assesses molecular taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of this line since the first appearance of fossil records in terrestrial deposi...
