In an experiment lasting from 1.5 years before, first calving until third parturition, 24 purebred indigenous Bos indicus (Boran) cows and 24 Boran crosses will; Holstein (proportionately 0.50 and 0 75 Holstein blood level) were given a diet composed of Bermuda grass hay and wheat bran (0 65: 0 3...
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...
Three experiments were conducted in successive years on crossbred suckler cows on a farm in a semi-arid area close to Nairobi, Kenya. The cows were mated seasonally to calve approximately 1 month before the rainy season (March to May). The effects of milking once daily and supplementation (2 kg/h...
