Abstract

This review is about the growth traits of indigenous cattle breeds such as birth weight, weaning weight, six months weight, yearling weight and average daily weight gain from birth to weaning under Ethiopian conditions. All published materials cited in order to provide some information on values of growth traits of indigenous cattle. Ethiopia is a home for different agro-ecological zones and many indigenous livestock species. But their performance is very low. The minimum and maximum birth weight performance for indigenous breeds was 17.5±2.25 kg and 23.68±0.21kg, respectively. The yearling weight performance of indigenous cattle was minimum 58 kg and maximum 85.7 kg with 76.29±0.45 to 440 gram range of daily gain at weaning. Improving management, selection, crossbreeding with exotic should be needed to enhance growth performance of indigenous cattle.
