The objectives of this study were to determine estrus behavior, interval to estrus, duration of estrus and time of ovulation of Boran, and Boran × Holstein Friesian (HF) breeds. A total of 113 cows and heifers from the two breeds were synchronized with two estrus synchronization protocols: 1) est...

The use of vaginal electrical resistance (VER) for estrous detection and early pregnancy diagnosis were evaluated using three experiments in dairy cattle, in Ethiopia. VER was measured: 1) during the natural estrous (n = 60) cycle, 2) during estrus induced by GnRH+ PGF 2· (n = 11) and 3) during p...

Farmers’ and improved potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars growing in Eritrea are main sources of food and income to many growers. The current study was proposed to characterize 17 farmers’ and 4 imported cultivars of potato using 33 morphological descriptors. Planting was done in two geograph...

Oestrous synchronization is the manipulation of the oestrous cycle or induction of oestrus to bring a large percentage of a group of females cattle into oestrus at a short, predetermined time.
The first field trial on hormonal oestrous synchronization regime and mass artificial insemination was ...
