This study examined whether work applied at different stages of lactation had any effect on reproduction of cows under two feeding regimes. Twenty-four F1 crossbred dairy cows (12 Friesian X Boran and 12 Simmental X Boran) were allocated one of two diets (H + 3: natural pasture hay + 3 kg concent...

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...

Effect of work and diet on body-weight change, body condition, lactation and productivity]Effect of draught work on performance and metabolism of crossbred cows. 1. Effect of work and diet on body-weight change, body condition, lactation and productivity

Eighteen F1 crossbred dairy cows (Friesian X Boran and Simmental X Boran) were allocated to one of three diet groups (H: natural pasture hay; H + 3: natural pasture hay + 3 kg concentrate; and H + 5: natural pasture hay + 5 kg concentrate) using a stratified random sampling procedure, with parity...

Forty pregnant F1 crossbred dairy cows (20 Friesian x Boran and 20 Simmental x Boran) were stratified in a 2 x 2 Diet x Work factorial experiment (not working, not supplemented; not working, supplemented; working, not supplemented; and working, supplemented). Working cows pulled sledges 100 days/...

To test the feasibility of the use of dairy cows for draft the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) in Ethiopia have studied a herd of F1 Friesien x Boran crossbred cows on-station over three years together with on-farm experiments an...

This paper reviews research findings relevant to draught animal husbandry and management, and highlights the differences in use of oxen and cows for draught. Topics considered include the choice between cows and oxen and effects of work on physiology, metabolism, health, food intake, digestion, b...

Production performance of cows is an important factor which determines whether cows are adopted for draft power. Working cows could perform at higher levels of efficiency than oxen, but only if nutrient inputs are adequate to meet their greater requirements, and milk production and reproduction a...
