Community-based breeding programs for small ruminants in pastoral production systems
The small ruminant production system in Ethiopia is predominantly at the subsistence level
with very low productivity despite a huge potential due to the large animal numbers and
genetic diversity. Growing market demand ...
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 ...
Indigenous knowledge, practices and preferences in control of gastrointestinal nematodes in Bonga and Horro sheep of Ethiopia
Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) remain one of the main health and production constraints of sheep globally. Considering alternatives to anthelmintics in control of GIN of sheep has become important mainly due to development ...
Application of Ultrasonography in Sheep and Goat Reproduction
The advanced course on the applications of ultrasonography in sheep and goats was targeted towards site-level coordinators of the different community-based breeding programs in Ethiopia. The training was aimed at capacitating ...
Novel and known signals of selection for fat deposition in domestic sheep breeds from Africa and Eurasia
Genomic regions subjected to selection frequently show signatures such as within-population reduced nucleotide diversity and outlier values of differentiation among differentially selected populations. In this study, we ...
Follicular and endocrine basis for high litter size in Bonga sheep
This is a drafted paper aiming at characterizing and comparing follicular dynamics, ovulatory response and luteal activity during the follicular and the luteal phases in synchronized Bonga sheep with different records for ...
Genetic progress and economic benefit of sheep community-based breeding programmes out- and up-scaling options in Ethiopia
The expected genetic progress and economic benefit from implementing three sheep Community Based Breeding Programme (CBBP) out- and up-scaling strategies were investigated. Strategy 1 is to replicate average existing CBBPs, ...
Guidelines for Setting up Community-based Small Ruminants Breeding Programs in Ethiopia: Second Edition
These guidelines are designed for all those involved in planning and implementing sheep and goat breeding activities with resource-poor farmers in developing countries. This includes research centers, non-governmental ...
Willingness to pay for livestock market facilities in Central and Northern Ethiopia: Application of Choice experiment with a nudge
Presentation on : Willingness to pay for livestock market facilities in Central and Northern Ethiopia: Application of Choice experiment with a nudge.
Evaluation of Artificial Insemination in Menz Sheep Following Estrus Synchronization with Progestogen and Prostaglandin-based Synchronization Protocols
Small ruminant production is a major component of the livestock sector in Ethiopia owing to
the large population of 30.70 million sheep and 30.20 million goat head (CSA, 2016). They
account for 40% of cash income earned ...
