Slaughter data from 1547 male indigenous marketable goats (406 Afar, 389 Long eared Somali, 412 Arsi-Bale and 340 Woyto-Guji), were analyzed to compare carcass and edible-offal component yields. Dressing percentage (DP) was determined based on slaughter weight (SH). Percentage total edible offal ...

Five lactation curve models were compared for their fitness to milk data of indigenous and crossbred cows using data from Bako Agricultural Research Center and Debre Zeit Research Station. The fit of the models was compared using the model Rz value. The overall mean RZ value was 81.5 t 0.12% and ...

Persistency of lactation in indigenous and crossbred cows was studied using milk data collected at Bako Agricultural Research Centre. Persistency was measured using three methods vis a vis as the ratios of milk yield during the second (P2:1) and third (P3:1) 100 days of lactation to milk yield du...

Variations in availability and nutritional quality of feed resources in the tropics affect cattle production under smallholder production systems. This results in undernutrition of cattle because of fluctuations in feed and nutrient supply. The term undernutrition is very complex and not clearly ...
