Conception, lambing rate and litter size were studied on data from a flock of Horro sheep in Ethiopia from 1878 to 1997. The CATMOD and GLM procedures of SAS were used for the analysis of these traits. A sire, direct additive genetic and a repeatability animal model were employed to obtain estim...

Factors affecting reproductive performance and estimates of genetic parameters of litter size in Horro sheep
In this study the reproductive performance of indigenous Ethiopian cows and their F1 crosses was evaluated and factors affecting reproductive performance were assessed, based on crossbreeding data collected from Asella Livestock Farm, Ethiopia. Age at first calving, number of services per concept...

Reproductive performance of dairy cattle at Asella livestock farm, Arsi, Ethiopia. 1: indigenous cows versus their F1 crosses
The effect of levels of upgrading of indigenous Ethiopian cows on the reproductive performance and herd life of crossbreds with different levels (50, 75, and 87.5%) of European inheritance were evaluated. Genetic and non genetic factors affecting herd life and reproductive performance traits such...
