“…These results indicated that cattle abortion is a common reproductive disorder with different prevalences. 8,12,20 The highest prevalence of abortion (28.9%) was observed by Siyoum et al 21 in west Shewa. On the other hand, Gizaw et al 22 reported a relatively lower abortion prevalence (2.2%) in central Ethiopia.…”

Background: The epidemiology of cattle abortion and its association with brucellosis is not well understood in Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the magnitude, associated risk factors of abortion, and its association with brucellosis in cattle of Jimma zone, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from October 2018 to October 2019 in Jimma zone. A total of 484 pregnant cattle were randomly selected from two districts based on the composition of the cattle population. Besides, blood samples were collected from a total of 484 randomly selected cattle to assess the presence of Brucella antibody. The presence of an antibody against Brucella organism was first tested by the Rose Bengal Plate test, and then positive serum was confirmed using the complement fixation test. Results: An overall 14.30% cumulative incidence rate of abortion was recorded in study areas. In this study, breed, herd size, method of breeding, previous history of abortion, accessibility of dog to cattle and season were identified as risk factors for the occurrence of cattle abortion. Higher cumulative incidence of abortion (31.82%) was observed in Brucella antibody positive cattle than those of antibody negative cattle (13.42%). However, the difference noted was not statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: It is important to create awareness about the impact of the abortion on cattle production and the applicable control technique of abortion should be aimed and implemented. Moreover, further investigation should be conducted to identify the specific cause of abortion and the associated loss in the study areas.

“…A study conducted by Regassa et al (2016) on major factors influencing the reproductive performance of dairy farms in Mekelle city, Tigray reported 13.3% (n=798) prevalence of abortion. Recent reports from Adea Berga (Siyoum et al, 2016), Horro Gudru (Wagari and Shiferaw, 2016) and Wolaita Sodo town (Enda and Moges, 2016) indicated that the prevalence of 28.9 (n=97), 4.4 (n=402) and 4.8% (n=104) of abortion was recorded in cattle, respectively.…”

“…The prevalence rate of abortion varies in different production system and from place to place. Prevalence rate of abortion in Ethiopia range from 2.2 to 28.9% (Table 3) (Gizaw et al, 2007;Siyoum et al, 2016). This difference in prevalence rate may be due to variation in cattle breed and husbandry management system.…”

Abortion in dairy cattle may be caused by infectious and non-infectious agents. Infectious causes of abortion in dairy cattle include brucellosis, leptospirosis, listeriosis, Q fever, bovine viral diarrhea, mycotic abortion and neosporosis. Non-infectious causes of abortion in dairy cattle are genetic and non-genetic disorder. Risk factors associated with abortion in dairy cattle are genetic, environmental, management, geographical factors and infectious factors. Abortion in dairy cows brings about breeding and productive damages. Abortions cause significant economic loss to dairy farm. These losses can be attributed to loss of replacement calves, reduced milk production, costs of treatment, feeding of animals and premature culling of productive cows and heifers. Diagnosis of bovine abortion includes the collection of a complete history of the case and relevant epidemiological data and collected sample for analysis. However, determining the cause of bovine abortion is difficult as abortions are caused by numerous infectious and noninfectious factors. Status of abortion and breeds affected by abortion in Ethiopia were also reviewed.

“…The mean AFS, AFC and CI were lower than previous reports. A 26 years retrospective analysis made by Yalew et al (Yalew et al 2011), a reproductive constraint in crossbred dairy cows under four different production systems in the central highlands of Ethiopia by Shiferaw et al (Shiferaw et al 2003), reproductive performances of Jersey dairy cattle maintained at Adeaberga dairy farm by Siyoum et al (Siyoum et al 2016) showed the mean AFS, AFC and CI to be 26-29 M, 35-41M and 15-18M, respectively. The difference might be attributed to the impact of training and large-scale dairy technology demonstration performed in the area and the interventions of various stakeholders on dairy feeding and nutrition, management and health, to better the reproductive and productive performance.…”

Reproduction is a basic requirement to increase stock size, successfully replace culled cows and maintain constant milk production in dairy farms. However, the reproductive physiology of dairy cows is disturbed by several factors, the most important of which are reproductive disorders. The current study was conducted to identify major reproductive health problems in two selected zones of Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia. Reproduction and production performance history of selected cows were collected from 123 farm owners. The mean age, parity, age at first calving (AFC), age at first service (AFS), calving to first service (CFS), service per conception (SPC), average calving interval (ACI), the average lactation length and average daily milk yield were 65.
