Small ruminant production in two mixed-farming systems of southern ethiopia: status and prospects for improvement

2008-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Small ruminants are an integral part of mixed-farming systems throughout southern Ethiopia. Yet, they have received little research attention or institutional support. Characterizing the existing small ruminant production systems and analysing their production constraints are important tools to diagnose the status and trends of the systems, and thus to identify areas for future interventions. A survey was conducte...
