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 ...

Between and within-breed variations in feed intake and digestive efficiency, in terms of the percentage of feed dry matter (DM) retained in the body out of that consumed (ADMD), in 452 Menz and Horro sheep were estimated. Average daily concentrate DM was about 278 g/day in both breeds, whereas da...
