The effects of 1.35, 1.8, or 2.25 kg dry matter (DM) of cottonseed cake, with (1.85 kg DM) or without molasses, on straw intake, diet digestibility, live-weight change, excretion of purine derivative (PD), and milk production of Boran (Bos indicus) cows were studied. There were no significant (P ...

A total of 179 heifers, primiparous and multiparous Boran cows were assigned to four breeding units and mated over a 4 - month breeidng season in a single-sire mating system. Mean body weight and body condition scores at the beginning of mating ranged from 363 + 6 kg to 388 + 7 kg and from 6.7 + ...

Factors affecting the reproductive performance of Boran (Bos indicus) cows in a single-sire mating system
Sex of calf and year of birth significantly affected birth weight and post-weaning growth. Pre-weaning weights, and pre-and post-weaning growth were significantly affected by season of calving. Cow fertility had a significant influence on weaning, 12- and 18-month weights. Although male calves we...
This study is designed to examine the nature of trypanotolerance, in particular to compare the clinical parameters of infected N'Dama with those of infected Zebu cattle and the variability and repeatability within the N'Dama breed of various disease parameters. Twenty N'Dama and light Zebu cattle...

Comparative studies on N'Dama and zebu cattle following repeated infections with Trypanosoma congolense
Reports the results of an 18-month study on the prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemias in East African Zebu cattle managed in ten village herds in four areas around Ghibe, S.W. Ethiopia. Gives an estimation of tsetse related density and trypanosome infection rates in tsets...

Health and performance of zebu cattle exposed to trypanosomiasis risk in S.W. Ethiopia
Bovine trypanosomiasis is prevalent in southwest Ethiopia infested with tsetse flies. Since 1986, East African Zebu cattle raised under trypanosomiasis risk in the Ghibe Valley of southwest Ethiopia have been studied to investigate the effects of trypanosmiasis on health and productivity. Approxi...
