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...

Kenya is recognized among developing countries for its success in integrating dairy into smallholder farming systems, particularly in the highland areas. The major determinants of this success were colonial history, its favourable agroecology and supportive agricultural policies, and the importan...
