Studies the reproductive performance of indigenous cattle in 1988 an 1989, where calving intervals were 508.3 and 623.3 days at Abernossa and Gobe, Ethiopia, respectively. The respective values for days open were 229.7 and 363.9. Services per conception were 15.2 and 2.19 at Abernossa and Gobe, respectively. Abortions and other reproductive disorders were low at both sites. Indicates that reproductive performances of the cattle studied were low. Hence, it is suggested that management interventions, particularly nutrition, disease control and destocking, would ameliorate reproductive problems in central Ethiopia.
