Crossbreeding parameters for milk production and reproductive traits and for cow live weight (LW) of crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and Sahiwal (S) cattle were estimated using data from a dairy herd in the lowland coastal tropics of Kenya. An individual animal model was fi...

Forty pregnant crossbred cows (20 Holstein-Friesian X Boran and 20 Simmental X Boran) were assigned to a 2x2 (work X diet) factorial experiment as follows: supplemented-non-working (SNW), supplemented-working (SW), non-supplemented-non-working (NSNW) and non-supplemented-working (NSW). Working co...

This study examined whether a prolonged anoestrus had any long-term effect on subsequent fertility of cows and estimated the relationship between repletion and resumption of reproductive activity. Twelve low body-condition, non-milking, non-cycling (depletion state) F1 crossbred dairy cows (Fries...

Small East African Zebu cows which calved during the dry season were used to determine the effects of postpartum nutritional supplementation and suckling intensity on body weight, body condition score, reproductive performance and on calf mortality and preweaning growth performance. Cows were all...

The reproduction of Gudali and Wakwa cattle are investigated. Reproduction data on Gudali and Wakwa cattle on Adamawa Plateau from 1967 to 1988 were analysed. Age at first calving was not affected by breed, year of birth and season of calving (P>.05). Mean calving interval (536.9 ± 17.3 days) wa...

Ewe reproduction and productivity were studied in the highlands of Ethiopia in Horro and Menz ewes mated to lamb in both the wet and dry seasons from June 1992 to May 1997. The data included a total of 4890 mating records of which 2516 were Menz ewes and 2374 Horro ewes, with 2360 matings in the ...

Weaner ewe lambs (92 + 4 days, SD) of the Ethiopian Menz breed (n=115) were used to assess the impact of level of nutrition before and after first lambing on subsequent productivity. Lambs were raised either on pasture grazing only (P) or grazing with low (L), medium (M) or high (H) levels of a c...

This study was undertaken using 48 mature Menz ewes (3-6 years of age) and averaging 31.5 (standard deviation (SD)=4.9) kg body weight, to evaluate oestrus synchronization, conception and lambing rates after ram introduction following a period of isolation (n=24) or constant exposure to vasectomi...

Individual and herd performances of goats were monitored in nine communal areas in Zimbabwe, which are representative of the various traditionally managed production systems. Between 1 September 1990 and 1 November 1991, 6950 goats from 254 farms were monitored twice monthly on an individual basi...

Ewe reproduction, productivity and lamb mortality were studied in grazing Horro and Menz ewes treated with FGA intravaginal sponges in the wet or dry season to compare the performance of the two indigenous Ethiopian highland breeds. There was a significant (p<0.001) difference in fertility rate (...
