The efficiency of cattle breeding and production depends to a large extent on the reproductive performance of the herd, with the bull playing a major role. Large differences in fertilizing ability between bulls exists, and such differences are due to the characteristics of individual bulls rather...

A total of 179 heifers, primiparous and multiparous Boran cows were assigned to four breeding units and mated over a 4 - month breeidng season in a single-sire mating system. Mean body weight and body condition scores at the beginning of mating ranged from 363 + 6 kg to 388 + 7 kg and from 6.7 + ...

Ewe lambs attain puberty at 10 months and 16.9 + 0.01 kg (56 percent of mature weight) and first lamb at 15 months. Postpartum anoestrus in 76 days, lambing interval is 8.4 months and 65 percent of ewes lamb three times in 2 years with a gestation period of 149 days. Ewes cycle year-round but oes...
