II. Dairy production current situation
Production Technology:•Mainly the butter system in rural and around urban areas liquid milk system •Local cows: under lactation for 248 days with 1-1.9 lt milk/day•Cross animals lactate for 248 days with 6.1 lt/day•Poor feed, health services other inputs and marketing

Input and services
•Collective action to access to feed and other inputs by linking with feed producers, drug suppliers•Initiating Pvt. Sector participation•Involving cooperatives to supply inputs•Mass insemination and private/collective bull services
![Page 5: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Marketing
•Women groups/clusters bulk and process
milk
•Organize women groups to bulk up
products , link them with traders,
cooperative for market outlets
•Women groups to access milk processing
technology or involve local cooperatives

Beef production in Gamogofa
Beef production: Traditional
Bulls of age 3 year and above
Oxen after few months of feeding
Feeding is not based on short term finishing
Very little or no additional feeding of concentrate
![Page 9: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Production interventionIntroducing better management in feeding, housing and health care for local breed
Introducing concentrate or other protein source to accelerate fattening period
Crossing the local with Boran breed and production of dairy beef Integrate fodder production in water shade management
Promoting feed preserving and storing techniques on crop residue and grass
![Page 10: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Continued…
• Introduce Leguminous forage and fodder production
• improving communal grazing plots and closure areas with the introduction of better yielding grass species
• introducing rotational grazing and cut and carry system should also be focus area for on-farm fodder production
![Page 11: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Input service
• Initiate private sector involvement in delivery of input services.
• Specialize some farmers in fodder production for sale
• Avail mass insemination services
• Train and field CAHW to handle AI and health services
• Privatization of Viet service and AI is most important for better
result in livestock improvement
![Page 12: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Marketing: area of intervention
• Collective marketing for better price bargaining
• Staggered fattening so to balance in supply and demand
• Improve meat sanitation at all levels of butcheries and
slaughtering house through training and fielding of sanitation
workers
• Training should also be rendered to butcher houses in meat
handling and selling house sanitation.
• Market information sharing mechanism using different methods
• Initiating linkages with national and international markets
![Page 13: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Linkage intervention
• Initiating and facilitating platform for discussion among actors to
design common goal and strategy to achieve common goal in beef
production, marketing, processing, inputs supply, etc
• Developing linkage with regional animal feed processors
cooperatives and also private feed processors
• Developing linkages with livestock market information for timely
market information
![Page 14: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Challenges
• Changing the traditional fattening to commercial oriented production
• Very high population of unproductive animals
• Improving communal grazing lands
• Cooperatives lack of interest
• Access to capital/ finance/fund to involve large population and the
private sector
• Extension service lack of logistics & operational cost for wider reach.

Small ruminants
Current situation:
•means of asset building, insurance and quick cash generation at
times of need.
•Sheep is very important in the highlands in areas that have
considerable amount of grazing land
•Goat predominates in the dry Kola of Gamogofa and “wet Kola”
of Sidama with plenty of browse as source of feed.
•Generally SR are kept in traditional management (breeding,
feeding, housing and care)
![Page 16: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Production intervention
•Initiate market oriented small ruminant production
• Access and deliver knowledge to farmers
•Initiate Community based selection and ram/buck
exchange
•Introduce selected indigenous sheep and goats
rams/bucks for breeding
•Introducing standard housing practice for sheep and goats
•Introducing Community Based Livestock insurance to
minimize accidental death of accidental death/loss

Input supply system
Currently: no input supply system for feed, drugs and breeding stockPossible interventions:
Promote collective action of farmers in fattening to purchase
and distribute feed (linking with feed suppliers),
Facilitate the private sector to be involved input supply business
(mainly concentrate feed and industrial by-products)
Involve cooperative the input supply business
Farmers supply green/dry fodder suppliers (mainly herbaceous
legumes) using irrigation sites(study feasibility)
Specialize some farmers as suppliers of lambs/kids to finishers
![Page 18: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Input system continued
Fodder and forage production on farmers plot /seed
production/upgrade grazing areas
Decentralized veterinary services through the use of
CAHW/paravets as well as community organized health
services
Private vet drug and service providers
Access to veterinary tool kits for field services
Facilitate loan from MFI
Organize community base insurance scheme or make
sure that the loan includes insurance policy

SR Marketing
Market constraints •Farmers target holiday markets •Supply is not constant •animals offered in the market are not uniform to attract big buyers.
![Page 20: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Market intervention
Create awareness among farmers the benefit of collective marketing
Organize collective marketing groups Village groups,
Help farmers target marketing and short cycle fattening
Develop fattening calendar for continuous supply
Link farmers to buyers on contractual bases
![Page 21: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Opportunities
Traditional knowledge and culture of keeping small
ruminant
Suitable natural environment
Large number of sheep and goats (diversity?)
Traditional market places and routes
Sheep and goats meat highly appreciated

Poultry production
Production
Indigenous chickens supply 100% egg and meat supply (60-70
eggs/annum)
Slow growth and low body weight at sell
High mortality of chicks due to predation
High mortality of flocks due to diseases
No apparent extension or research support
Limited introduction of improved exotic breeds
![Page 24: Lives baseline study report for Gamogofa and Sidama Zone in SNNPRS By Kettema Yilma and Yisak Baredo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca75503460f949692ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

semi scavenging type for rural areas using local or selected
local breeds
Commercialized small scale production with 50-400
chickens in urban and peri-urban areas using exotic
commercial or pure breeds.
Improve access to feed, drugs and vaccines
