Tegegne, AzageFranceschini, R.[Evaluation of luteolysis and oestrous synchronization using a prostaglandin analog (Prosolvin) in Boran x Friesian crossbred heifers]Evaluation of luteolysis and oestrous synchronization using a prostaglandin analog (Prosolvin) in Boran x Friesian crossbred heifers

Although water is a renewable natural resource, it has become insufficient at the global level. Unless the current efficiency level of water use can be increased, the trend of water shortages will become more serious. Among agricultural activities, livestock production is mostly considered an int...

Human and livestock mobility are key factors in the transmission of several high-burden zoonoses such as rift valley fever and trypanosomiasis, yet our knowledge of this mobility is relatively poor due to difficulty in quantifying population-level movement patterns. Significant variation in the m...

The expansion of biofuel production can lead to an array of negative environmental impacts. Therefore, the European Union (EU) has recently imposed sustainability criteria on biofuel production in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). In this article, we analyse the effectiveness of the sustainab...

This paper outlines ILCA's strategy of choice, i.e., ILCA's formal mandate, ILCA's altimate goal, the centres' fundamental choice, ILCA's research program for the 1989-93 period, and mode of operation, and research thrusts, and highlights of the achievements. ILCA's research activities concentrat...

Because cattle can be raised postweaning under several feeding regimes, this study examined the consistency of phenotypic and genetic parameters of some production and feeding behaviour traits between two feeding periods that beef cattle received a finisher diet. Crossbred steers (n = 851) were u...

Drought is a frequent occurrence in the Northwest Province of South Africa, and it appears to be strongly influenced by El Niño-Southern Oscillation events. The South African Weather Services produce long-term seasonal climate forecasts for 3 and 6 mo in advance that could allow crop and livesto...

Background Control and elimination of zoonotic diseases requires robust information about their effect on both human and livestock health in order to enable policy formulation and the allocation of resources. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of controlling Taenia solium taenia...

This paper discusses the sustainability of livestock systems, emphasising bidirectional relations with animal health. We review conventional and contrarian thinking on sustainability and argue that in the most common approaches to understanding sustainability, health aspects have been under-exami...
