Twenty-four multiparous Zebu × Friesian crossbred cows, were fed maize-lablab stover as basal diet and allocated to four graded levels of lablab hay (0%, 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2% BW) treatments in a study to investigate effects of levels of lablab supplementation on body weight changes and reproductiv...

Based on the promising results obtained from on-station, the cow traction study was further taken to on-farm for verification under the Ethiopian smallholder farmers management conditions. The study was undertaken in Holetta area between 1992 and 1996 by involving 14 farmers. Mean dairy milk yiel...

The results of the research showed that hay intake was 10 percent greater in working compared to non working cows. Cows responded to underfeeding by a progressive adaptation until a new equilibrium between dietary supply and requirements was reached. However, in draught cows fed low quality rough...

Farming systems based on ox-cultivation is a millennium old tradition in Ethiopia. However, this farming system with its in high demand for grazing land, has come under increased pressure during the last century. Means of intensifying the mixed crop and livestock farming systems, which is predomi...

In Ethiopia, the use of crossbred cows for traction could improve total on-farm production by decreasing the need to maintain draft oxen year-round and a fallower herd to supply replacement oxen, provided that lactation and reproduction are kept at levels comparable to non-working cows. In a stud...

The efficiency of cattle breeding and production depends to a large extent on the reproductive performance of the herd, with the bull playing a major role. Large differences in fertilizing ability between bulls exists, and such differences are due to the characteristics of individual bulls rather...

Tsetse control programme using traps, targets and trypanocide pour-on in Sissili, agro-pastoral zone of Burkina Faso, started in 1994 after an epidemics of animal trypanosomiasis which has destroyed almost 70 percent of cattle population. This area has been occupied by Fulani pastorlists of a gov...

A total of 26,233 calving records from three commercial ranches: Mogwooni, Galana and O'ljorai; located in high altitude, humid and low altitude, coastal, and medium altitude rangelands of Kenya, were available for the study over periods between 10 and 30 years. The traits studied were: age at fi...
