Urban and peri-urban dairy production systems are among the many forms of dairy production systems in the tropics and sub-tropics. The systems involve the production, processing and marketing of milk and milk products that are channelled to consumers in urban centres (Rey et al., 1993; Staal and ...

In vitro and in situ evaluations of feed samples were carried out at Debre Zeit Research Station (Ethiopia) of the International Livestock Research Institute. The feed samples consisted of tef straw, wheat bran, dried Lablab purpureus, and dried foliage of the multipurpose trees (MPT), namely Ses...

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...

Ten Boran and 12 Boran X Friesian bulls with a mean (+standard error of the mean) age and body weight of 20.2+0.5 months and 225.5+2.5 kg were used over a 1 year period to determine the effect of plane of nutrition and season on body and testicular growth and on semen traits. Within genotype, bul...

Boran is an endangered breed of cattle indigenous to Ethiopia and the relatively poor understanding of its reproductive physiology has impeded efforts to maximize reproductive performance of the breed. This study characterized ovarian follicular dynamics in 9 purebred Boran and 8 Boran×Holstein (...

This study was conducted at Ginchi watershed in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia to evaluate the
physical, chemical and microbiological quality of livestock drinking waters during dry, short rain and wet
seasons. Purposive sampling technique was used to obtain samples. Data were collected and anal...
