Reversing watershed degradation and food insecurity has been one of the major development challenges in the semi-arid areas of northern Ethiopia where rainfed dependent mixed croplivestock farming is predominant (Berhanu et al., 2010; SERA, 2000). As an entry point, community based physical soil ...

Livestock production in Ethiopia has, for long, remained subsistence with limited market-orientation and poor institutional support. Farmers and pastoralists produce and keep animals for various valid reasons, with little market-orientation. However, producing for the market requires re-orientati...

Breed additive and non-additive effects, and genetic parameters of milk fat, protein, solids not fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) percents, were estimated in Ethiopian Boran cattle and their crosses with Friesian in central Ethiopia. Ethiopian Boran cattle were consistently superior (P<0.01) to th...

The data on 60 Ethiopian Boran and 428 Boran‐Friesian crosses spread over 15 years (1990‐ 2004) were used to predict first lactation milk yield (FLYD) based on earlier expressed traits using multiple regression analysis and principal components analysis. In the prediction of FLYD in Ethiopian Bor...
