Thirty-six crossbred cows were used in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement in a randomized block design to evaluate forages from two cropping systems (1 and 2) and feeding levels (ad libitum, (Level1)) or 80 percent of ad libitum (Level 2) on milk yield, live weight, and reproductive performance. Crops...

Six cattle (3 Boran (Bos indicus) and 3 crossbred (Bos indicus X Bos taurus) were fasted for 20 days to estimate the effect of fasting on the excretion of nitrogen (N) and purine derivatives (PD) in the urine. PD excretion (y) for each genotype was related to time (t in days) by means of an expon...

The performance of 40 crossbred calves (Bos taurus, Friesian X Bos indicus, Boran) and 40 Zebu (Boran) calves, from live days after birth to 12 weeks of age, in two separate experiments, was evaluated regarding the effects of two levels of milk (2 or 3 L day-1) and two types of housing (barn (ind...

The effects of two cropping systems (1 and 2) on grain and fodder yields and nutritive quality of the fodder were studied in a randomized complete block desgin experiment over a period of two cropping years. Crops and crop combinations in system 1 were oat-vetch, wheat-trifolium, teff straw, and ...

The effects of 1.35, 1.8, or 2.25 kg dry matter (DM) of cottonseed cake, with (1.85 kg DM) or without molasses, on straw intake, diet digestibility, live-weight change, excretion of purine derivative (PD), and milk production of Boran (Bos indicus) cows were studied. There were no significant (P ...
