Influence of partial suckling of crossbred dairy cows on milk offtake and calf growth in the Ethiopian highlands
Discusses factors influencing grain production in a representative and risky farming system in the Ethiopian highlands, with quantitative evidence of the critical contribution of draft oxen to farm grain production by comparing yield and area cultivated between farmers who are ox-owners and those...
