Five lactation curve models were compared for their fitness to milk data of indigenous and crossbred cows using data from Bako Agricultural Research Center and Debre Zeit Research Station. The fit of the models was compared using the model Rz value. The overall mean RZ value was 81.5 t 0.12% and ...

Postpartum body weight dynamics of zebu and crossbred cows in relation to postpartum reproduction was studied using data from the Bako Agricultural Research Centre. Body weight at calving, first postpartum oestrus, first service and conception were analysed using the General Linear Model which in...

Persistency of lactation in indigenous and crossbred cows was studied using milk data collected at Bako Agricultural Research Centre. Persistency was measured using three methods vis a vis as the ratios of milk yield during the second (P2:1) and third (P3:1) 100 days of lactation to milk yield du...
