Presents findings of a study conducted to determine changes in feed intake and utilization by oxen during work, comparing estimated energy balance and liveweight change in local zebu and crossbreds. Also assesses breed effects on water intake, feed intake and utilization.
Reports results of an experiment conducted to determine the effect of diet restriction on work performance and body weight in crossbred and local oxen worked as singles in farmers' fields around Debre Zeit, Ethiopia, during the normal cultivation season.
