Forty pregnant F1 crossbred dairy cows (20 Friesian X Boran and 20 Simmental X Boran) were stratified in a 2x2 diet X work factorial experiment (not working-not supplemented, NWNS; not working-supplemented, NWS; working-not supplemented, WNS; and working-supplemented, WS). Working cows pulled sle...

The design and development of a reversible animal-drawn plough and a ridger is presented. The plough was developed on the basis of laboratory experiments reported earlier to determine optimum parameters for acurved implement. The basic design principles of conventional mouldboard ploughs and an a...
