However, there are several herd health and animal welfare issues affecting milk production and productivity in the district. To address these challenges, a community-based participatory dairy herd health and welfare management training was conducted by ILRI, SAPLING herd health, and HEARD project from 25 July 2023 to 02 Aug 2023 in Bahir Dar Zuria District. The main objective of the training was to enhance milk production and productivity by equipping female and male dairy farmers with knowledge and skills in improved dairy herd health and welfare management practices. A total of 30 dairy producer farmers from three dairy clusters, consisting of six administrative kebeles, participated in the training. The training was conducted over six days, with two days dedicated to each cluster, on a sequential half-day basis. To ensure convenience and a conducive learning environment, the training sessions were held at the community centers/FTCs. An experiential and collaborative learning approach was adopted to identify gaps in farmers' knowledge and attitudes and introduce new knowledge and improved practices to address these gaps. The training covered seven topics related to herd health and welfare management, including infectious and non-infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, calf mortality, reproductive disorders, hoof disorders, and dairy cattle welfare management. Various training tools such as checklists, flipcharts, and group discussions were used to facilitate information flow and progressive learning. Visual aids such as pictures, storytelling, and discussion questions were employed to encourage participation and interaction among the participants. During the training, several major diseases affecting dairy cattle production were identified, including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), lumpy skin disease (LSD), mastitis, bloating, calf mortality, fasciolosis, schistosomiasis, ticks, and lice. Additionally, limited access to quality animal health services, land shortage for dairy production, and inhumane handling during herding, transportation, and slaughtering were recognized as significant animal welfare problems in the district. To mitigate the identified herd health and welfare problems, the implementation of prioritized intervention packages is crucial. The successful execution of these interventions can significantly improve the herd health and productivity of dairy farms in Bahir Dar Zuria District.Item Dissemination workshop report on livestock movement routes and resources maps in the southern Oromia and Somali regions, Ethiopia(Report, 2024-01-15) Berhanu, DagimLivestock route and related resources mapping, understanding their status and better protection of the routes in the pastoral areas are the first steps towards developing the areas. With this regard, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), in collaboration with other partners, conducted participatory livestock routes and related resources mapping activities in selected pastoral woredas of the Oromia region and Somali region with European Union (EU) funded project, the so called Health of Ethiopian Animals for Rural Development (HEARD). Since December 2019, numerous activities have been conducted to map and validate the status of major routes through which livestock moves to markets, water points, health facilities and other related infrastructure in those regions. After completing the mapping and validation activities successfully, the dissemination workshop was organized by ILRI’s HEARD project on 23 October 2023, in Hawassa town. A total of 39 (38 male and 1 female) participants from ILRI, governmental offices at different levels, universities, research centres, pastoral community elders, development partners and professional associations attended the dissemination workshop. The workshop was organized in four sessions. In the first part of the workshop, the process and outputs of the mapping activity were communicated through a series of presentations. In the second session of the workshop, four separate breakout sessions were held and participants discussed and presented on the significance of the mapping activity and the role expected from each participant in using the mapping outputs for the pastoral community development agendas. In the third session, a question and answer session was held to clear up any misunderstanding about the mapping process and outputs and a panel discussion was held to discuss the way forward. Generally, the participants were very satisfied with the overall mapping process and outputs and vowed to own and follow future supporting, servicing and protection activities of the routes and resources mapped in the study areas. In the final session of the workshop, eight copies of a waterproof paper based map printed by the Ethiopian Mapping Authority (EMA) at a scale of 1:80 km were handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture and other stakeholders and the dissemination workshop was closed.Item Participatory livestock routes and related resources mapping exercises(Presentation, 2023-10-23) Getahun, YasinItem Participatory mapping of livestock routes and resources in southern woredas of Oromia and Somali regions, southern Ethiopia—Discussion(Presentation, 2023-10-23) Berhanu, DagimItem Participatory mapping of livestock routes and resources in southern woredas of Oromia and Somali regions, southern Ethiopia—Background(Presentation, 2023-10-23) Berhanu, DagimItem Bovine mastitis (የወተት ላሞች የጡት በሽታ)(Poster, 2023-12-01) Berhanu, Dagim; Gizaw, Solomon; Knight-Jones, Theodore J.D.Item Training report on small ruminant flock health and welfare management in Ethiopia(Report, 2023-07-30) Fatalo, T.; Yitagesu, E. ; Aydefruhm, D. ; Lemma, Mamusha ; Temesgen, WuduItem የወተት ላሞች የጡት በሽታን (Bovine mastitis) በመቆጣጠር ትርፋማነትን እንጨምር (Increase profitability by controlling bovine mastitis in dairy cows)(Poster, 2023-08-30) Berhanu, Dagim; Gizaw, Solomon; Knight-Jones, Theodore J.D.Item መደበኛ ንፅህና ያለው የአለባ ሥርዓትን ማረጋገጫ መንገዶች (SoP for hygienic milking practice)(Poster, 2023-08-30) Berhanu, Dagim; Gizaw, Solomon; Knight-Jones, Theodore J.D.
