The incidence of short luteal phases and ovulations without oestrus was investigated in 42 primiparous Borana cows. Based on calving body weight, cows were allocated to either a control group with grass hay only or to a supplement group with a concentrate ration. Within nutritional groups, cows w...

Ten Boran and 12 Boran X Friesian bulls with a mean (+standard error of the mean) age and body weight of 20.2+0.5 months and 225.5+2.5 kg were used over a 1 year period to determine the effect of plane of nutrition and season on body and testicular growth and on semen traits. Within genotype, bul...

Postpartum ovarian activity was investigated in dairy cows in urban/peri urban dairy production systems in and around Addis Ababa using milk progesterone profiles. Nineteen crossbred (Friesian x Zebu) dairy cows which calved between March and June 1998 were used for the study. Milk samples were c...
