A study was conducted at the Asella Station in the Arsi Region of Ethiopia to investigate the dairy performance of indigenous purebred Arsi and Friesian X Arsi crosses under different pre-partum and post-partum supplementary feeding regimes. A total of 343 first-lactation animals were involved in...

The effect of environmental factors on preweaning survival rate of Arsi-Bale and Borana kids at the Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center, was investigated. Data collected on 702 kids born between 1999 and 2003 were used to evaluate the effect of year, parity, breed type, sex, season of birth, ...

Addressing Soil organic carbon issues in smallholders’ farms in Ethiopia: Impact of local land management practices
Soil organic carbon is a fundamental soil resource base. However, there is limited information on soil organic carbon storage due to influence of tillage type and soil texture under smallholder production systems in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was therefore to quantify soil organic carb...

A selection programme was set up in 1983 in the Ivory Coast to improve the growth and live weight of the indigenous Djallonke sheep using an open nucleus breeding system. Selection was based on male individual weights at 80, 180 and 365 days of age. Multiple sires were used in farmers' flocks. In...
