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...

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...

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of feeding with two maize (Zea mays) cultivars (Quality Protein Maize [QPM] and common maize [BH540]) on growth performance, food efficiency and carcass traits in Ethiopian highland Arsi type ram lambs. Each maize variety was offered in 3 diffe...

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...
