Analyses reproductive data on 4123 inseminations from 2332 breeding records of 1237 Arsi (Bos indicus) cows, collected between 1982 and early 1989 from the Gobe ranch of the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture where cows were kept under similar management; and concludes that long post partum anoest...

Reproductive efficiency of Bos indicus (Zebu) cows under artificial insemination management in Ethiopia
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 ...

Possible impact of disease and reproductive wastage on the productivity of tropical small ruminants: An overview
The paper reviews the evidence of genetic resistance to endoparasites both within and between breeds of sheep and goats and assesses the possibilities of breeding for increased resistance. In light of this evidence, ILCA has developed a Pan-African research programme to investigate and characteri...

Describes the origin, distribution, reproductive performance and nutritional characteristics of the camel i.e. Camelus dromedarius, identifying major and minor camel diseases, and assessing the camel's potentials for meat/milk production, transport, ploughing, milling and production of hides and ...
Describes the seasonal pattern of nematode faecal egg counts of sheep slaughtered at the Addis Ababa abattoir from July 1985 to June 1986. Presents data on strongyle and trichostrongyle faecal egg counts. Suggests possible strategic measures for th econtrol of gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep ...

A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 6718 sheep of two breeds (2772 Horro and 3946 Menz) on risk factors for mortality associated with respiratory disease (MARD) in Ethiopia, based on data collected between October 1993 and December 1997. Potential risk factors examined were breed,...

A study was carried out at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Debre Berhan Research Station in Ethiopia from 1992 to 1995 to compare the peri-parturient rise (PPR) in faecal nematode egg counts (FEC) in ewes of two indigenous sheep breeds. A total of 1439 Menz and 1347 Horro ew...

The effects of breed and dietary protein supplementation on the development of resistance and resilience to gastrointestinal nematode parasites (endoparasites) were examined in artificially infected Horro and Menz lambs from 4 to 12 months of age. The factorial design involved two breeds, two inf...
