Estimation of genetic parameters for growth traits and Kleiber ratios in Boer x Central Highland goat
Accurate performance evaluation and genetic parameters estimation are the prerequisites for any successful genetic improvement program. This study was conducted to estimate genetic parameters for growth and Kleiber ratio ...
Reproductive performance and milk production of Central Highland and Boer x Central Highland goats
This study was conducted to evaluate the reproductive performance and milk production potential of Central
Highland and Boer x Central Highland goats under semi-intensive management. Data were collected from 2009
till 2018 ...
Phenotypic and genetic parameters of milk traits of Fogera cattle in Ethiopia
This study was conducted to estimate the production performance and the genetic parameters for milk traits of Fogera cattle at Andassa Livestock Research center. Data collected on milk production traits from 2000 to 2017 ...
Phenotypic and genetic parameter estimates for early growth, growth rate and growth efficiency-related traits of Fogera cattle in Ethiopia
Background: Understanding the phenotypic and genetic parameter estimates of growth traits is important for an effective livestock genetic improvement programme.
Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the phenotypic ...
Reproductive Performances and Survival of Washera Sheep under Traditional Management Systems at Yilmanadensa and Quarit Districts of the Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia
On-farm data were collected to evaluate reproductive performance and survival of Washera sheep raised under traditional smallholder production systems in the North-Western highlands of the Amhara National Regional State, ...
Identification of suitable land for supplemental surface irrigation in semi-arid areas of North-western Ethiopia
In arid and semi-arid areas, a shortage of soil moisture limits rainfed crop growth and consequently reduces crop yield. By adding a small amount of water, supplemental irrigation can boost crop yields dramatically. The ...
The efficiency of estrus synchronization protocols and artificial insemination in the Abergelle goat on-station and on-farm conditions of Northern Ethiopia
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different estrus synchronization protocols followed by artificial insemination on estrus response and the conception rate of Abergelle goats. Three estrus synchronization ...
Genetic Diversity of Orobanche crenata Populations in Ethiopia Using Microsatellite Markers
Orobanche crenata is a parasitic weed that causes considerable yield losses on food legumes in Ethiopia and the Mediterranean region. Understanding the genetic diversity of Orobanche crenata using molecular techniques ...
On-farm evaluation of growth and reproductive performances of Washera and Gumuz sheep in northwestern Ethiopia: Basics for setting up breeding objectives/ goals
Growth and reproductive performance traits are traits of economic importance for sheep
selection and productivity improvement interventions. This study aimed at comparative eval uation of growth and reproductive performance ...
Evaluation of growth and efficiency-related traits of different levels of Boer x Central Highland crossbred goats
The growth and efficiency-related traits of the Boer x Central Highland goats raised semi-intensively were evaluated. Besides, genetic and non-genetic factors affecting growth and efficiency-related traits were identified. ...
