Postpartum anoestrus interval (PPAI) and estrus activity measured as probability of getting acow in estrus within 42 (PPAI42), 63 (PPAI63) and 84 (PPAI84) days postpartum in indigenousand crossbred cows were studied using data from Bako Agricultural Research Center. PPAI wasanalyzed using the Gen...

Study was conducted to determine turnover of water, nitrogen and energy in lactating Holstein x Boran cows. Nine cows (Bos indicus × B. taurus) between their 42nd and 420th the days of lactation were selected for this study. The crossbred cows had ad libitum access to water and a dried maize stov...

The long term effect of supplementation of Leucaena pallida and Sesbania sesban on growth and reproduction performance was determined on 30 male Ethiopian highland sheep and 25 East African goats. Unchopped teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was given ad libitum and supplemented withe ither wheat bran (...

An exploratory survey was undertaken to describe and quantify the magnitude of lameness in 964 dairy cattle between October and December 1999 under urban (Addis Ababa), peri-urban (Sebeta and Kaliti), and urban farms in a secondary town (Debre Zeit). Based on herd sizes, these farms were classifi...

A cross-sectional study of bovine brucellosis was carried out from May to October 1997 on 42 dairy farms located in Addis Ababa, Sebeta, Kaliti and Debre Zeit, Ethiopia. An overall herd infection rate of 33.3 percent was established. With respect to the production systems, 100 percent, 30 percent...
