Patterns of postpartum oestrus onset and associated plasma progesterone profiles in Bos indicus cows in Ethiopia
A total of 137 cycling Zebu cows, each receiving a single dose of prostaglandin PGF 2a were used in an oestrus synchronization programme on three different farms. Of the cows on the three farms, 60.6 and 90.5 percent showed over oestrus and luteolysis, respectively. Pregnancy rate to fixed time i...
Presents results of a study conducted to assess the extent to which incubation time, temperature or failure to separate plasma soon after collection influence the plasma progesterone concentration in Ethiopian indigenous sheep.

The effect of handling methods on subsequent plasma progesterone levels in sheep
Plasma progesterone concentrations were determined every 10 days for 38 grazing Menz ewe lambs from weaning until conception. Lambs were either fed extra supplementry concentrates and/or drenched for endoparasites. Inadequate nutrition delayed puberty onset by 4 to 5 months. Progesterone concentr...

The paper reports on accidental urea toxicity in lambs associated with group feeding of urea-molasses block (UMB). The feeding method, the estimated toxic dose, and the incident of toxicity are described. The clinical signs, treatment, outcome, and gross pathological findings are discussed. The d...

A breeding soundness examination (BSE) involving animal physical examination, scrotal circumference (SC) and semen evaluation was undertaken on 80 Ile-de-France rams at a government breeding farm, 32 km south-west of Casablanca (Morocco) from March to May 1988. A large percentage of rams (21.4 pe...
