Estrus Characteristics and Reproductive Hormone Production in Boran and Boran×Friesian Dairy Cows at Bishoftu Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia
Galana Abaya*, Tamrat Degefa, Yosef Deneke
A study was carried out at the Bishoftu Agricultural Research Center to determine the blood hormone level and estrus behavior exhibited by purebred Boran and crossbred dairy cows from October 2019 to June 2020. Twenty multiparous dairy cows were purposively selected after gynecological and obstetrical examination, and blood samples were collected on days zero, 7, and 11 to measure serum concentrat

Research on bTB in under developed countries still remain stagnant or not really progressing even though it is an endemic disease in cattle. Cattle is considered as the main host of this disease but other studies have shown that severa

Root and tuber crops play a crucial role in global food security, providing a significant source of nutrition and income for millions of people. The rhizosphere, the zone of soil surrounding the plant roots, is a dynamic environment that strongly influences crop growth and development. One critical factor that affects the rhizosphere's functionality is soil reaction, commonly represented by pH le
