Analysis of village poultry value chain in Ethiopia: Implications for action research and development
Part I of this working paper classifies small ruminant sub-systems in the mixed crop livestock system in Ethiopia. In Part II, important determinants of small ruminant productivity and producers’ input use and marketing strategies were analysed across the six small ruminant sub-systems identified...

Classification of small ruminant production sub-systems in Ethiopia: Implications for designing development interventions
Small ruminants, which account for more than half of the domesticated ruminants in the world, are an important component of the farming systems in most developing countries. Despite their economic and social importance, socioeconomic and marketing research on small ruminants has so far been limit...

This paper estimates technical inefficiency in milk production of smallholder dairy farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia and identifies factors associated with the observed inefficiency using a stochastic frontier production function approach. The analysis utilizes cross-section data collected fr...

Oestrous synchronization is the manipulation of the oestrous cycle or induction of oestrus to bring a large percentage of a group of females cattle into oestrus at a short, predetermined time.
The first field trial on hormonal oestrous synchronization regime and mass artificial insemination was ...

Does investment in motor pump-based smallholder irrigation lead to financially viable input intensification and production? An economic assessment
In many developing countries like Ethiopia village poultry makes up a large part of the national poultry meat and egg production and plays important roles economically, nutritionally, and socio-culturally. Households in Ethiopia have not fully benefitted from the potential of village poultry as l...
