Journal Article 1998

Autor: Astatke, A. Gebresenbet, G.

Animal traction in Ethiopia has been used since the third millennium B.C. Its use is confined to land preparation and seed covering using the traditional implement 'maresha' pulled mainly by a pair of oxen under a ridged neck yoke. Even though research to replace the 'maresha' and the multi-purpo...

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...

The Oxylog, a portable breath-by-breath gas analyser, was used on seven animals to determine standing metabolic rate, energy cost of walking on soils of different consistencies and efficiency of work ploughing and carting. The average standing metabolic rate of animals was 5.63 (s.e. 0.12) W/kg M...

A trial was carried out to assess the effect of liveweight and body condition on working capacity of Zebu oxen. Over a working period of 9 days, animals which started work with a mean liveweight of 360 kg and body condition score of M+ produced the highest daily work output. At an initial livewei...

A feeding system, draught cows, disease/work interactions and animal power introduction in a farming system are reviewed. A new feeding system for draught animals is described which enables feed requirements and the effects of work on liveweight and milk yield to be calculated. Recent data on the...

More effective control of the tsetse fly in Africa will reduce constraints imposed by the livestock disease, trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis lowers livestock productivity, and in some areas, may limit the ability of farmers to keep livestock and plough the land using animal traction. Control of ...

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...

Forty-eight heifers of two genotypes, Boran (Bos indicus) and Holstein×Boran, were allocated to three feeding levels equivalent to 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 times calculated metabolisable energy requirements for maintenance (MEm). The experiment started at the onset of reproductive activity, when the Bora...

Eighteen oxen were allotted to three treatment groups according to their body condition: poor, medium and good. Work output, speed, live weight and body condition were measured during 7 weeks when animals worked 4 days/ week, 4 h/day, pulling loads equivalent to 12.5 kg/100 kg live weight. The an...
