The crossbreeding trials were designed for the breeding and testing of animals of the following grades: ½, ¾, 7/8 and 5/8 Jersey. Te aims of the crossbreeding were (i) to improve milk production (ii) to test the extent to which the introduction of genes for milk production into the N’Dama genotyp...
The reproductive performance of N'Dama and West African Shorthorn (WASH) are evaluated. Production records from 1980 to 1985 at Kumasi University farm were analysed. There were no significant differences between the two breeds in terms of birth weight, age at weaning, age at first calving, calvin...

Livestock-wildlife interactions promote the transmission of a wide range of infectious diseases that constraint livestock production. We used a participatory appraisal approach to find out and rank infectious diseases of concern to pastoralists in a zone of intense wildlife-livestock interaction ...

Ethiopian cattle are under threat from uncontrolled mating practices and are at high risk of becoming genetically homogeneous. Therefore, to evaluate genetic diversity, population structure and degree of admixture, 30 microsatellite markers were genotyped using 351 DNA samples from 10 Ethiopian c...
