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...

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...

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...

The efficiency of cattle breeding and production depends to a large extent on the reproductive performance of the herd, with the bull playing a major role. Large differences in fertilizing ability between bulls exists, and such differences are due to the characteristics of individual bulls rather...

A total of 179 heifers, primiparous and multiparous Boran cows were assigned to four breeding units and mated over a 4 - month breeidng season in a single-sire mating system. Mean body weight and body condition scores at the beginning of mating ranged from 363 + 6 kg to 388 + 7 kg and from 6.7 + ...
