This report is a preliminary attempt to describe the technical and institutional requirements for certification of improved rams selected in the framework of the community-based breeding programs in Ethiopia.
Risk Factors for Reproductive Disorders and Major Infectious Causes of Abortion in Sheep in the Highlands of Ethiopia
Community-based sheep breeding programs (CBBPs) were established in Ethiopia since 2010. Improved rams from CBBPs need to be disseminated. However, there is a risk of transmitting reproductive diseases to other community ...

For the implementation of the Ethiopia priority country program on Small Ruminant Value Chain Transformation (SmaRT-Ethiopia), national partners play a key role in all research and development activities. The Theory of ...
Livestock CRP Priority Country Project proposal
This plan outlines key components of what the Livestock CRP will be proposing as a 3-year project to consolidate CRP research to date and translate it into a pilot integrated package of interventions. The project will ...
Community-Based Breeding Program is an attractive option for genetic improvement of small ruminants
In small ruminants, centralized breeding schemes, entirely managed and controlled by governments – with minimal, if any, participation by farmers – were developed and implemented in many developing countries. Such programs ...
Understanding farmers’ preference for traits of chickens in rural Ethiopia
Traditional poultry production plays an irreplaceable role in the sustenance of liveli-
