Body weight (LW), condition score (BCS), tail length on inner side of tail (TL), tail volume measured by water displacement (TV) and tail circumference (TC), width (TW) as well as thickness at the base (TT) were measured in live Menz (n=303) and Horro (n=151) sheep to determine their possible use...

Ruminants adapt to periodic fluctuation in feed resources by accumulating fat stores during favourable periods. Thus, genetic variations, among ruminant genotypes, in the capa city to deposit fat could be exploited through breeding to improve animal productivity in traditional tropical production...

Data from 454 Menz and Horro male sheep at Debre Berhan Research Station, Ethiopia, were evaluated for slaughter characteristics. Rams were born from October 1992 to July 1996 and reared together from birth to slaughter at about 17 months of age. Pre-slaughter live weight (PSW) was about 25 kg, w...

Slaughter data from 304 Menz and 153 Horro rams were analysed to determine between breeds differences in yields of carcass and edible non-carcass components, with the primary aim of creating awareness in the way animal evaluations for meat production may be modified to incorporate local cultures....

Slaughter data from 304 Menz and 153 Horro ram lambs were analyzed to determine between breed differences in yields of carcass and edible non-carcass components. Average age at slaughter was 515 days. Total edible non-carcass component yield (ENCC) was obtained as the sum of weights of blood, lun...

Live weight and linear body measurements (wither height, body length and heart girth) of 133 Ogaden cattle, maintained at Alemaya University, were taken from July 24 to July 28, 2001. Weighing was done using weighing bridge of the farm in the morning before the animals went out for grazing. A tex...

On-station characterisation of indigenous Menz (n = 1639) and Horro (n = 1135) sheep of Ethiopia in the central highlands of the country was undertaken between 1992 and 1997 at the Debre Berhan Research Station of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) to study the phenotypic chara...

Between and within-breed variations in feed intake and digestive efficiency, in terms of the percentage of feed dry matter (DM) retained in the body out of that consumed (ADMD), in 452 Menz and Horro sheep were estimated. Average daily concentrate DM was about 278 g/day in both breeds, whereas da...

A total of four hundred and fifty seven Menz (n=305) and Horro (n=152) male lambs born over eight consecutive dry- and wet-seasons from October 1992 to July 1996, at ILRI's Debre Berhan Research station were used to: i) determine between-breed differences and within-breed variations in feed intak...
