The study was carried out in three highland woredas (districts) of Chilga, Dembia and Gondar Zuria in north Gondar Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. These woredas were purposively selected because of their long experience in transhumance cattle production system. The objectives of the study were to ...

Transhumance cattle production system in North Gondar, Amhara region, Ethiopia: is it sustainable?
Addis Ababa, with an estimated human population of over 3 million, has a high demand for cereals, pulses, fresh vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products and meat and eggs. The Ada’a Woreda is one of the important areas that supply the well known ‘maja’ teff, chickpeas, fresh vegetables, eggs an...

Does the future hold for transhumance cattle production system in North Western Ethiopia?
Reversing watershed degradation and food insecurity has been one of the major development
challenges in the semi-arid areas of northern Ethiopia where rainfed dependent mixed croplivestock
farming is predominant (Berhanu et al., 2010; SERA, 2000). As an entry point,
community based physical soil ...

Intensification of crop-livestock farming systems through market-orientation in Ethiopia
The study was conducted in Goma district of Jimma Zone of Ethiopia with the objectives of documenting the reasons why
farmers in coffee dominant mixed-farming systems of western Ethiopia keep small ruminants, and identifying the
constraints and opportunities for improvement of this sector. Result...

Matching genotype with the environment using indigenous cattle breed: introduction of Borana cattle from southern Ethiopia into the lowlands
Livestock production in Ethiopia has, for long, remained subsistence with limited market-orientation and poor institutional support. Farmers and pastoralists produce and keep animals for various valid reasons, with little market-orientation. However, producing for the market requires re-orientati...

Breed additive and non-additive effects, and genetic parameters of milk fat, protein, solids not fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) percents, were estimated in Ethiopian Boran cattle and their crosses with Friesian in central Ethiopia. Ethiopian Boran cattle were consistently superior (P<0.01) to th...

Genetic evaluation of Ethiopian Boran cattle and their crosses with Holstein Friesian for milk constituent traits in central Ethiopia
The data on 60 Ethiopian Boran and 428 Boran‐Friesian crosses spread over 15 years (1990‐ 2004) were used to predict first lactation milk yield (FLYD) based on earlier expressed traits using multiple regression analysis and principal components analysis. In the prediction of FLYD in Ethiopian Bor...
