The effect of feeding increasing levels of Leucaena leucocephala leaf hay on the potential fertility and feed intake of male highland sheep maintained on roughage diet was studied. In treatment 1 (NS), animals received only chickpea haulm. Treatments 2 (L100), 3 (L200) and 4 (L300) consisted of 1...

The incidence of short luteal phases and ovulations without oestrus was investigated in 42 primiparous Borana cows. Based on calving body weight, cows were allocated to either a control group with grass hay only or to a supplement group with a concentrate ration. Within nutritional groups, cows w...

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...
