Crossbreeding of goats in traditional subsistence flocks had been promoted in selected villages of eastern Ethiopian highlands as a means to quick genetic progress based on the thesis that crossbreeding can increase the net contribution of goats. Observations on flock dynamics patterns of smallho...

Low adoption rates of introduced technologies in spite of manifestly increased production suggestthat livestock developer and farmer value livestock differently. The purpose of this paper is torelate productivity more closely to the perspective of the farmer. The concept of productivity isreviewe...


Ayalew, W.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.King, J.M.[The concept and calculation of net benefits from goats in Ethiopian smallholdings]The concept and calculation of net benefits from goats in Ethiopian smallholdings

Based on the multiple utility of goats as well as multiple resources employed, broader productivity criteria were developed and applied to evaluate subsistence goat production. The results showed that, under the improved subsistence production, crossbred goats did not generate any more Unit Net B...

Individual labour input into goat husbandry was enumerated for a period of one year from a total of 71 sample households. Comparison was made at household level. Results show that women contribute a proportional share of labour and their share changes in response to household characteristics rela...
