Foods produced from two cereal-legume cropping systems were evaluated in a 250-day growth trial using Friesian X Boran crossbred steers. Crops and crop combinations in cropping system 1 were oat-vetch (Avena sativa-Vicia dasycarpa; OV), wheat-trifolium (Triticum aestivum-Trifolium steudneri; WT),...

Forty-five Bos indicus (Zebu) cows were blocked by body condition (BC) score at calving and allocated by body weight (BW) to three treatments: untreated controls (CON), and progesterone-releasing intra-vaginal device (PRID)-treated at either 45 (T45) or 60 days (T60) post partum. Cows were given ...

The paper evaluates the effects of forage type and level of concentrate supplementation on forage intake, diet apparent digestibility, purine excretion and milk production. Twelve crossbred cows (Bos taurus X Bos indicus), in early lactation were allocated to the following six dietary treatments:...

The performance of 40 crossbred calves (Bos taurus, Friesian X Bos indicus, Boran) and 40 Zebu (Boran) calves, from live days after birth to 12 weeks of age, in two separate experiments, was evaluated regarding the effects of two levels of milk (2 or 3 L day-1) and two types of housing (barn (ind...

The effects of 1.35, 1.8, or 2.25 kg dry matter (DM) of cottonseed cake, with (1.85 kg DM) or without molasses, on straw intake, diet digestibility, live-weight change, excretion of purine derivative (PD), and milk production of Boran (Bos indicus) cows were studied. There were no significant (P ...
