Small ruminants contribute significantly to meat (and sometimes milk) production in Africa and hence in meeting the current shortfall created by the fast rising human population. Flock productivity may, however, be affected by a wide range of disease problems and reproductive wastage. The impact ...

Small East African Zebu cows which calved during the dry season were used to determine the effects of postpartum nutritional supplementation and suckling intensity on body weight, body condition score, reproductive performance and on calf mortality and preweaning growth performance. Cows were all...

Ewe reproduction and productivity were studied in the highlands of Ethiopia in Horro and Menz ewes mated to lamb in both the wet and dry seasons from June 1992 to May 1997. The data included a total of 4890 mating records of which 2516 were Menz ewes and 2374 Horro ewes, with 2360 matings in the ...

Weaner ewe lambs (92 + 4 days, SD) of the Ethiopian Menz breed (n=115) were used to assess the impact of level of nutrition before and after first lambing on subsequent productivity. Lambs were raised either on pasture grazing only (P) or grazing with low (L), medium (M) or high (H) levels of a c...

This study was undertaken using 48 mature Menz ewes (3-6 years of age) and averaging 31.5 (standard deviation (SD)=4.9) kg body weight, to evaluate oestrus synchronization, conception and lambing rates after ram introduction following a period of isolation (n=24) or constant exposure to vasectomi...

A study was conducted to estimate heritabilities of, and genetic correlations among, body weight (WT) and testicular measurements - scrotal circumference (SC), testicular diameter (TD), testicular length (TL) and epididymal diameter (ED - in ram lambs between 6, 9 and 12 months old, and relations...

Genetic parameters of testicular measurements in ram lambs and relationship with age at puberty in ewe lambs]Reproductive characteristics of Ethiopian highland sheeI. Genetic parameters of testicular measurements in ram lambs and relationship with age at puberty in ewe lambs

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of season on, and to estimate heritabilities of, and genetic correlations among, semen and spermatozoa characteristics and the relationship of these characteristics with measures of testicular or scrotal size in 6-, 9- and 12-month old ram lambs of ...

Plasma progesterone profiles were used to monitor post-partum reproductive activity in 12 Small East African Zebu (Bos indicus) cows allocated to either supplementary or no supplementary feeding (control) with continious or restricted (twice daily) suckling regimes. Intact bulls were used for bre...

The milk and meat productivity of Ethiopia's 27 million cattle is still low for the human population of 53 million, which grows at 2.9 percent yr and is expected to surpass 65 million at the end of this century. The present cattle population includes 40 percent (10.8 million) cows of breeding age...

Although the importance of bull reproduction in enhancing genetic progress and influencing cow herd fertility has long been recognized in many parts of the world, there has been very little attention paid to bulls in Ethiopia. Proper management of young bulls aims to improve growth rate so that t...
