Improved breeds
• Dairy– Peri - urban fluid milk system – crosses with exotics– Rural local butter system – crosses Jersey, Borana, Begait,
Fogera
• Small ruminants– Crosses with exotic breeds– Improved local breeds (through ram selection)
• Large ruminants– Mainly male animals/oxen from improved dairy butter
breeds within the same location or pastoral areas – crosses with Borana

Improved breeds
• Poultry– Peri urban (semi) commercial system: exotic
egg and broiler types – Rural semi commercial system: local breeds
• Apiculture– No improved bees – some characterization is
on-going by Holetta research)
![Page 7: Potential livestock value chain interventions LIVES Research planning workshop March 26-28, 2013 Addis Ababa](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110100/56649de75503460f94ae0947/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Breed/animal multiplication and services
• On farm reproduction (part of animal husbandry practices)
• Specialized services– Private AI services (dairy/beef)– Hormone assisted mass insemination (dairy/beef)– Heifer breeding farms in rural areas(dairy)– Community breeding schemes (small ruminants)– Production day old chicks (poultry)– Pullet producers (poultry)– AI for poultry – Bee colony multiplication/AI (apiculture)

Fodder development interventions
• Grazing area development– Enclosures, cut and carry, rotational use,fertilization, over sowing– Conservation of grasses (hay, silage)
• Planted fodder – backyard, cropland, irrigation plot– Perennial grasses– Perennial and annual (rotational) legumes – Conservation (hay,silage)
• Crop residues– Increase through cereal/pulses crop improvement (new varieties,
feed/food) – Treatment – chopping, urea, molasses– Conservation (silage)– Use of horticultural crop residues (banana, leafy vegetables)
![Page 9: Potential livestock value chain interventions LIVES Research planning workshop March 26-28, 2013 Addis Ababa](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110100/56649de75503460f94ae0947/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Input/service supply interventions for planted fodder development
interventions
• Management system communal grazing areas• Supply of forage seeds/ cuttings– FTCs– Private farmers– Linkages with regional/federal level seed suppliers
• Mechanical chopping/bailing services
![Page 10: Potential livestock value chain interventions LIVES Research planning workshop March 26-28, 2013 Addis Ababa](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110100/56649de75503460f94ae0947/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Market oriented animal husbandry
• Animal reproduction – fertility management• Housing • Feeding and watering• Health – mortality • Waste management • Business scale • Timing • Quality• Animal identification/record keeping
![Page 11: Potential livestock value chain interventions LIVES Research planning workshop March 26-28, 2013 Addis Ababa](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110100/56649de75503460f94ae0947/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Supply of inputs/services interventions for market oriented animal husbandry
• District level coops and/or private shops stocking required inputs (feeds, drugs, accessories) using hub approach and agro dealership linkages
• Community animal health worker system (dairy, large/small ruminants)
• Women vaccination workers (pullets)• Credit products to purchase commercial inputs and
scale up operations

Livestock processing/marketing interventions
• Collective action to reduce sales/processing cost per unit of product (hub approach)– Milk collection centers– Women butter groups for home processing of local butter– Private/cooperative dairy processing: fluid milk/table butter (peri
urban) and local butter in rural areas– Marketing groups large & small ruminants
• Create linkages including contract farming– Dairy farmers/milk collection centers with processors– Apiculturist with export abattoirs/honey processors– Poultry/dairy producers with institutional consumers
• Quality/food safety improvement– Milk/butter quality testing/payment– Slaughtering hygiene

Livestock & environment interventions
• Utilization of manure for biogass production • Zoning of livestock production in peri urban
areas• Create synergies between grazing areas
development and apiculture• Fewer/higher producing animals to reduce
methane emission

service delivery and input production– Grazing area management– Community breeding schemes – Mass insemination– Health service delivery– Forage seed multiplication– Pullet production/day old chick production– Bee colony splitting
• Training processors in food quality and safety
