Systematic review and meta-analysis of metacestodes prevalence in small ruminants in Ethiopia
Metacestodes, the larval stages of canid cestode parasites, are among the causes of morbidity, mortality and financial losses in small ruminants in Ethiopia as a result of organ and carcass condemnation at slaughter. Several ...
Would Market Sheds Improve Market Participation and Earnings of Small Ruminant Keepers? Evidence from Ethiopia
Livestock markets and marketing are crucial components of the agricultural transformation agenda in Ethiopia. There is, however, little or no scientific evidence for the demand for livestock market facilities to guide the ...
Associations of biophysical factors with faba bean root rot (Fusarium solani) epidemics in the northeastern highlands of Ethiopia
Two field surveys were conducted during the 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons to determine the distribution
and importance of faba bean root rot, Fusarium solani (Mart) Apple and Sacc. in the northeastern
highlands of Ethiopia. ...
Antagonistic effect of native Bacillus isolates against black root rot of faba bean
The objective of this study was to evaluate the biological control ability of native Bacillus species on the basis of their antagonistic effects against F. solani.
