Forty-five Bos indicus (Zebu) cows were blocked by body condition (BC) score at calving and allocated by body weight (BW) to three treatments: untreated controls (CON), and progesterone-releasing intra-vaginal device (PRID)-treated at either 45 (T45) or 60 days (T60) post partum. Cows were given ...

The incidence of short luteal phases and ovulations without oestrus was investigated in 42 primiparous Borana cows. Based on calving body weight, cows were allocated to either a control group with grass hay only or to a supplement group with a concentrate ration. Within nutritional groups, cows w...

Postpartum ovarian activity was investigated in dairy cows in urban/peri urban dairy production systems in and around Addis Ababa using milk progesterone profiles. Nineteen crossbred (Friesian x Zebu) dairy cows which calved between March and June 1998 were used for the study. Milk samples were c...

The study was conducted to evaluate the reproduction efficiency of zebu and crossbred cows measured by the inter-estrus and inter-service intervals using data from Bako Agricultural Research Center. The overall mean inter-estrus and inter-service intervals were 44.3 t 0.85 and 49.1 t 1.24 days, r...
