Gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves were determined in testicular and epididymal tissues obtained from 14 small highland Abyssinian Zebu (SHAZ) and from 15 Borana bulls slaughtered at the Debre Zeit abattoir. Bulls were mature and over six years of age. Body weight and scrotal circumference w...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of feeding different calf starter rations, weaning age and their interactions on testicular growth and body weight of Borena Friesian (BF) crossbred bull calves at the age of 105 (closer to weaning) and 202 (nearly 6 months) days. Statistical a...

Gondal and extragonadal sperm reserves were determined in testicular and epididymal tissues obtained from ten Small East African Zebu (SEAZ), ten unimproved Borana and nine improved Boran bulls. Bulls were mature and were between 6 and 8 years of age. Body weight and scrotal circumference differe...

A total of 64 bull calves, composed of 27 Boran and 37 Boran X Friesian, were weaned at 6 months of age and divided into supplement or control groups within breed. All bulls were kept in one paddock and grazed on natural pasture. Supplement groups received 1.5 kg per head day of a diet containing...

This paper presents the results of a comparative study conducted to characterize the oestrous phenonenon in Zebu and crossbred cattle and to determine oestrus detection using both androgenized cows and entire bulls. The study was conducted at ILRI Debre Zeit Research Station during the dry season...

Gondal and extragonadal sperm reserves were determined in testicular and epididymis tissues obtained from Boran and Boran X Friesian bulls fed either a high or low plane of nutrition diet for a one-year period. The bulls were 32 months of age at castration. Mean body weights did not differ betwee...
