Forage development is one of the strategies to address feed scarcity and low livestock productivity in Ethiopia. In line with government strategy, multiple actors took part in a forage development programme for six years (2004–09) in Alaba Special District, in southern Ethiopia. This paper analys...

Relationship of plane of nutrition, milk yield and plasma hormones and metabolites in dairy cows kept under tropical conditions
Aflatoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus molds that contaminate a variety of food and animal feeds. Exposure to aflatoxins causes serious illness in humans, including liver cancer and stunting in children. When cows ingest aflatoxin-contaminated feed, they secrete aflat...

The data on 60 Ethiopian Boran and 428 Boran‐Friesian crosses spread over 15 years (1990‐ 2004) were used to predict first lactation milk yield (FLYD) based on earlier expressed traits using multiple regression analysis and principal components analysis. In the prediction of FLYD in Ethiopian Bor...

Knowledge of composition of fat, protein and water in the body is indicative for the
determination of effects of changes in nutrition in terms of body reserves. Deuterium
oxide dilution technique has been proposed as easy, reliable and non-destructive method
of determining body composition using ...

Initial and peak milk yield, days to peak milk yield and persistency index (PI) of
indigenous and crossbred cows were determined to characterized their lactation
curve. The study was based on existing data in the Bako Agricultural Research
Center and Debre Zeit Research Station. The overall mean ...
