Abstract

Presents results of analyses carried out on a range of performance traits and productivity estimates for indigenous Arsi & Zebu cattle and their crosses with Jersey & Friesian, maintained for milk production at Asela station & on smallholder farms in the Arsi region of Ethiopia; includes data on age at first calving, calving interval, breeding efficiency, milk yield & composition and body weight.
