Cross‐sectional survey and retrospective data on the oestrus synchronization were collected and analysed. The predominant mating system practiced by dairy farmers was AI (55.6%), and 73.5% of farmers apply controlled mating. The highest response rate and pregnancy rate were 89.5% and 45.2%, respectively, whereas a birth rate of 9.6%–18.5% was obtained.

Prevalence of Trypanosome Infections in Cattle and Sheep in the Benin's West Atacora Agro-Ecological Zone [PDF]
Trypanosomiasis remains one of the major constraints to ruminant livestock development in Benin. In order to determine the prevalence of trypanosome infections in the municipality of Ouake in the West Atacora agro-ecological zone, a parasitological study

Boran dairy cattle demonstrated acceptable productive, reproductive and adaptive performance under lowland conditions of south‐western Ethiopia. Significant effects of parity and lactation stage were observed on milk yield and blood parameters, while physiological values remained within normal ranges, confirming good adaptation and potential for ...

From Yield to Flavor: The Role of Lipid Coatings in Beef Aging
ABSTRACT Lipid‐coated aging has been proposed as an alternative to enhance flavor, particularly using butter as a coating material (butter‐aged beef). Thus, this study compared the wet‐aged and beef‐aged with different lipid‐based coatings: milk butter (butter‐aged), cocoa butter (cocoa‐aged), pork lard (lard‐aged), and beef tallow (tallow‐aged), all ...

ABSTRACT Silvopasture systems integrate tree, forage, and livestock components, offering a sustainable intensification strategy that combines environmental and productive benefits, although shading may impose constraints on forage accumulation. This study aimed to evaluate forage accumulation, nutritive value, and beef cattle performance in pastoral ...

ABSTRACT Climate change has intensified the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation. Genetic selection has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy; however, studies on Bos taurus indicus, especially Nellore cattle, remain limited.
