Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits: birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), six-month weight (6MWT) and yearling weight (YWT) in indigenous Ethiopian Horro lambs using the Average Information REML (AIREML). Four different models: Sire model (Model 1),...

Polymorphism analysis of the Kisspeptin (KISS1) gene and its association with litter size were conducted in two (Gondar and Woyto Guji) Ethiopian indigenous goat populations. Three new pairs of primers were designed for touchdown PCR condition. A total of 173 and 242 Sanger sequences were employ...

The objective was to evaluate the growth and reproductive performances of Fogera cattle breed at Andassa Livestock Research Center, Ethiopia. The data covers the period from 1992 to 2013 that were collected from farm records of the center. The fixed effects were birth year, season, sex, parity, m...

Conception, lambing rate and litter size were studied on data from a flock of Horro sheep in Ethiopia from 1878 to 1997. The CATMOD and GLM procedures of SAS were used for the analysis of these traits. A sire, direct additive genetic and a repeatability animal model were employed to obtain estim...

Factors affecting the early growth and survival of indigenous Ethiopian Horro sheep were identified and the influence of each was assessed, based on data collected from 1978 97 from 4031 lambs at Bako Research Centre, Ethiopia. Year of birth, sex, type of birth or rearing, and parity had signific...
