Draught animals are the main integrative links between crop and livestock production systems in the highlands of Ethiopia. The highlands comprise only 40% of the country's total land area but carry 79% of livestock heads and 80% of the human population results in higher pressure on the arable lan...

The study investigated the effect of work on the postpartum estrous cycle length and ovarian activity of crossbred dairy cows used for draught. Sixteen dairy cows were assigned to two dietary feeding regimes (i.e. diet 1=9 MJ ME/kg DM; diet 2=10 MJ/kg DM). The cows in both diets started to work a...

Smallholder whole-farm productivity could be increased, and a more sustainable farming system could be established, if dairy cows could also be used for draught work. On-station results over a three-year period indicated that when dairy-draught cows were adequately fed, milk production was not si...
