Hematological parameters were studied in 163 apparently healthy goats comprised of 3 indigenous breeds at Adami-Tulu Agricultural Research Centre (ATARC) and Sheno Agricultural Research Centre (SARC), Ethiopia. Data were analyzed for the effect of breed, sex, age, and season. Hemoglobin (Hb) was significantly higher (P<0.0001) for Arsi-Bale (AB) than Longeared Somali (LES) and Central Highland ...

Calcium-binding stoichiometry, dissociation equilibrium constants at zero ionic strength @Lo), and molar extinction difference coefficients (At,) at the wavelength )r of the metallochromic indicators arsenazo I (ArsI) and tetramethylmurexide (TMX) were reevaluated with a computerized method based on mass conservation and thermodynamic consistency checks. This new method is shown to provide a mo...

In Ethiopia, sawmills have poor capacity utilization primarily due to the outdated equipment that resulted in a low recovery rate and production of high amount wastage. The lumber is output (lumber) log sawing process. Cupressus lusitanica significantly used for lumber, furniture production, construction, poles posts.
