Five lactation curve models were compared for their fitness to milk data of indigenous and crossbred cows using data from Bako Agricultural Research Center and Debre Zeit Research Station. The fit of the models was compared using the model R2 value. The overall mean R2 value was 81.5 ± 0.12% and ...

Proportional growth as is shown by linear growth and carcass characters in Angoni cattle were investigated. The growth of all sexes showed three typical waves of bone, muscle and fat development. The dressing percentage rose steadily from birth to 5 months irrespective of sex. The Angoni showed a...
