The paper gives an example of the use of survival analysis to examine time to conception for a breed by nutrition factorial experiment and the relationship between time to conception and body weight. The example is made complicated by confounding between the treatments and the weight of animals a...

Based on the promising results obtained from on-station, the dairy-draught study was further taken to on-farm for testing it under the Ethiopian smallholder farmers' management conditions. The study was undertaken in Holetta and Addis Alem areas between 1993 and 1997. Mean daily milk yield was si...

An on-farm monitoring study was carried out in the urban and peri-urban dairy production systems in the Addis Ababa milk shed to assess variations in on farm nutrient intake of dairy cows (Holstein Friesian X Zebu) and feed balance. Ninety seven cows, with parities above two and at the beginning ...

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...

A survey study was conducted in 'a mixed crop/livestock production system in the central highlands of Ethiopia around Holetta Research Center in the year 2000. The main purposes of the study were to understand the reasons behind the burning of manure by farmers instead of employing it all to solv...

Postpartum body weight dynamics of zebu and crossbred cows in relation to postpartum reproduction was studied using data from the Bako Agricultural Research Centre. Body weight at calving, first postpartum oestrus, first service and conception were analysed using the General Linear Model which in...

The effect. of genotype (50% 75% and 87.50, levels of milk (2 and 3 1/day) and types of housing (Barn and Hutch) were examined using 38 Boran x Friesians crossbred calves (Bos Taurus x Bos indicus). Calves were offered supplement diet (180 g/kg CP and 100g/kg roughage) and were weaned until their...

In this study available genetic resources and breeding systems used by dairy farmers in urban and peri-urban dairy production systems in, Addis Ababa milk shed were assessed. Results of the study indicated that: about 57%, 31 % and 10% of secondary town, peri urban and intra-urban farmers like to...
