A system dynamics approach was used to determine the sustainable stocking rate of the Menz sheep population in the Ethiopian highland. A model was developed to simulate stocking rate based on communal grazing land. The ...
Alternative Breeding Scenarios for Abergelle Goat Breed Suited to Arid Climate in Ethiopia
The economic significance of goats in Ethiopia include small initial investment requirement, high survival rate during drought conditions, higher off-take and complementary feeding habit (ESGPP, 2009). These invite improving ...
