This study was conducted in Metema district, Amhara Region, Ethiopia to characterize the existing feed resources and recommend their enhanced utilization for animal production. The major feeds were pasture (55.7%), crop residues (20.7%), stubble (14.3%) and hay (9.3%). The estimated annual feed s...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing levels of Leucaena leucocephala leaves on reproductive capacity and growth of male highland sheep (Arsi type) in Debre Zeit Research Centre. Animals were randomly allotted to one of five experimental rations. In treatment 1 (NS) animal...

Small East African Zebu cows which calved during the dry season were used to determine the effects of postpartum nutritional supplementation and suckling intensity on body weight, body condition score, reproductive performance and on calf mortality and preweaning growth performance. Cows were all...

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...

This paper Reports on both the individual and combined effects of age at first caving (AFC) and live weight at first calving (LWFC) for crossbred heifers (Friesian x Zebu) on first lactation Milk yield. Optimal health and nutrition management was followed. Fifty one heifers were allocated to youn...

Although the importance of bull reproduction in enhancing genetic progress and influencing cow herd fertility has long been recognized in many parts of the world, there has been very little attention paid to bulls in Ethiopia. Proper management of young bulls aims to improve growth rate so that t...

The efficiency of cattle breeding and production depends to a large extent on the reproductive performance of the herd, with the bull playing a major role. Large differences in fertilizing ability between bulls exists, and such differences are due to the characteristics of individual bulls rather...

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...

Fourty-four Borana X Friesian F1 crossbred calves born to Borana (Bos indicus) cows were randomly assigned to either suck their dams twice daily or bucket-feeding with 134 l. milk over a 57-day pre-weaning period. Their dams were also allocated either to a supplement group with grass hay ad libit...
