Forty-five Bos indicus (Zebu) cows were blocked by body condition (BC) score at calving and allocated by body weight (BW) to three treatments: untreated controls (CON), and progesterone-releasing intra-vaginal device (PRID)-treated at either 45 (T45) or 60 days (T60) post partum. Cows were given ...

Presents the results of a study designed to characterize further the temporal patterns of oestrus onset and plasma progesterone profiles during the postpartum ovarian activitity in two groups of Ethiopian Bos indicus (Zebu) cows whose calves were either weaned at 4.5 months or at 7.5 months; repo...

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...
Measures the duration of the post-partum anoestrus interval of fifty Ethiopian Menz ewes maintained on pasture grazing with uncontrolled mating; describes their associated blood progesterone patterns; and assesses their reproductive potential.

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...

This paper presents the results of a comparative study conducted to characterize the oestrous phenonenon in Zebu and crossbred cattle and to determine oestrus detection using both androgenized cows and entire bulls. The study was conducted at ILRI Debre Zeit Research Station during the dry season...

This work was conducted to assist the large cattle multiplication centres to produce more animals of the genotype being demanded to improve peasant farm income, to generate an alternative way of introducing the same genotype to farmers with limited income by using artificial insemination, to assi...
The effect of trypanosomosis on the resumption of postpartum ovarian function and oestrus activity was studied in small East African zebu cows maintained under natural trypanosomosis challenge. This was done through the determination of milk progesterone levels using the enzyme linked immunosor...
