Community‐based breeding programmes are a viable solution for Ethiopian small ruminant genetic improvement but require public and private investments
Ethiopia has a large and diverse population of small ruminants, which contribute substantially to the livelihood and income of the rural poor and the country at large. However, the sector faces a number of challenges. Productivity per animal and flock offtake are both very low. Reasons attributed fo...
