Data collected on 3256 lambs born to Horro and Menz breed ewes single-sire mated to 71 rams at the International Livestock research Institute (ILRI) Debre Berhan station between September 1992 and June 1996 were analysed for rates of survival and growth from birth to weaning. A significantly lowe...

Between and within breed variation in lamb survival and the risk factors associated with major causes of mortality in indigenous Horro and menz sheep in Ethiopia
In 1988 and 1989, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive performance of on-farm sheep were studied at 5 sites in the Ethiopian highlands using nematode eggs per gram (EPG) counts, treamatode EPG and packed-cell volume (PCV). Mean litter size, lambing interval, annual reproductive rate and a...

Is long-term protection useful for the regeneration of disturbed plant communities in dry areas?
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) of humans and domestic animals are a significant component of the global burden of disease and a key driver of poverty. The transmission cycles of VBDs are often strongly mediated by the ecological requirements of the vectors, resulting in complex transmission dynamic...

This research article provides insights into the daily lives of one pastoral group in a remote area. Themes include: integration of women in development programs, improving access of rural people to basic essentials, and understanding the degree to which ramifications of seemingly simple technol...
Livestock provide many benefits to society, but at the same time, they generate considerable pressure on land, water and biomass resources and are responsible for 18 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. The total demand for livestock products may almost double by 2050, mostly in the develop...
