Technical guideline for reproductive biotechnologies of sheep and goat in Ethiopia
Reproductive biotechnology in animal production is widely used to increase production, reproductive efficiency and rates of
genetic improvement (Madan, 2005). According to NRC (2003), animal production biotechnology is ...
Converting multi-trait breeding objectives into operative selection indexes to ensure genetic gains in low-input sheep and goat breeding programmes
Small ruminant breeding programmes in low-input production systems are best organised at the community level. Participant farmers have to agree on goal traits and their relative importance. When BLUP breeding values of ...
Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NEN and LAC Countries – Project Progress Report: Year (II) – April 2019 to March 2020
2nd Annual Progress Report [April 2019 to March 2020] for the IFAD-Funded CLCA Project: “Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility ...
Field synchronization of Ethiopian Highland sheep for fixed time artificial insemination: improvement of conception rate with a double injection of prostaglandin at 11 days
The study investigated, for fixed time artificially inseminated (AI) Menz ewes in field trials, the reproductive
performance of prostaglandin-based treatments simultaneously to the standard ‘P4+eCG’ protocol. A total
of ...
Technical and institutional certification of breeding rams in Ethiopia
This report is a preliminary attempt to describe the technical and institutional requirements for certification of improved rams selected in the framework of the community-based breeding programs in Ethiopia.
Risk Factors for Reproductive Disorders and Major Infectious Causes of Abortion in Sheep in the Highlands of Ethiopia
Community-based sheep breeding programs (CBBPs) were established in Ethiopia since 2010. Improved rams from CBBPs need to be disseminated. However, there is a risk of transmitting reproductive diseases to other community ...
Best Practices for Managing Awassi Sheep 4-Lactation Period
This booklet is part of a ten-part series of technical guidelines describing best practices for managing Awassi sheep – the dominant sheep breed in several countries across the Middle East. The series is targeted at sheep ...
Phenotypic characterization of Tunisian sheep breeds for resistance to abomasal parasites
The aim of this work is to study the genetic resistance of the Barbarine sheep to GIN infestation. This is a preliminary paper about the phenotypic measurements that were collected and compiled in a single phenotype database. ...
Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NEN And LAC Countries: Completion Report – Appendix
The supplementary tables appendix of the completion report of the project titled “USE OF CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE IN CROP-LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS IN THE DRYLANDS For Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity ...
Evaluation of Awassi sheep genotypes for growth, milk production and milk composition
We evaluated growth, milk production and composition of Awassi genotypes based on 9 years data collected from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) flock kept in Tal Hadya station, ...
