Data on reproductive performance of Zebu and Friesian X Zebu crossbred cows reared under small-scale dairy farms were analysed and the effects of genotype, parity, body condition score (BCS), season, and year of calving were examined for a total of 246 calvings. Uterine involution was completed e...

Gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves were determined in testicular and epididymal tissues obtained from 14 small highland Abyssinian Zebu (SHAZ) and from 15 Borana bulls slaughtered at the Debre Zeit abattoir. Bulls were mature and over six years of age. Body weight and scrotal circumference w...

Plasma progesterone profiles were used to monitor post-partum reproductive activity in 12 Small East African Zebu (Bos indicus) cows allocated to either supplementary or no supplementary feeding (control) with continious or restricted (twice daily) suckling regimes. Intact bulls were used for bre...

Gondal and extragonadal sperm reserves were determined in testicular and epididymal tissues obtained from ten Small East African Zebu (SEAZ), ten unimproved Borana and nine improved Boran bulls. Bulls were mature and were between 6 and 8 years of age. Body weight and scrotal circumference differe...

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of incremental levels of Gliricidia sepium (gliricidia) and Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) on forage intake, diet apparent digestibility, microbial nitrogen supply and live-weight changes in cattle. In each experiment, 20 intact and five f...
