Observations were made of the ages at first appearance of each pair of permanent incisors (‘eruption age’), and the time from first appearance to full eruption of each pair (‘eruption’), for Large East African Zebu cattle (Boran). For females the eruption ages were found to be 108.5±9.9 weeks, 13...

The reproduction of the Kenana cattle was studied to establish the service period (SP), calving interval (CI) gestation period (GP), and economic production characteristics. Age of cow had significant effect on SP and highly significant effect on calving interval. The variations in the SP and in ...

Comparative studies on two types of East African zebu (Bos indicus) Boran cattle, on a beef ranch in Kenya, have indicated that a Boran type bred by the Orma tribe has a superior response to tsetse fly challenge. The Orma Boran when compared with an improved Boran was found to have lower trypanos...
