Genetic improvement for productive traits in livestock, particularly in cattle, has been very slow and insignificant in the country. One of the main reasons for this is lack of well-organized and usable recorded information on the performance of both the indigenous and crossbreds with exotic geno...

In Ethiopia, the agricultural sector is a cornerstone of the economic and social life. The sector employs 80-85 per cent of the population and contributes 40 per cent to total GDP. Smallholder farmers dominate the agricultural sector. The highlands hold about 95 per cent of the cropped area and s...

Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in Africa with approximately 30 million cattle, of which 9 to 10 million oxen are used for draft purposes. About 85 percent of the estimated 55 million human population lives in rural areas, with agriculture as the primary occupation. About 90 percent...

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 ...
