Editors 1 Foreword This Book is the outcome of the collaborative endeavors of diverse stakeholders addressing the challenges of seed systems and scaling of malt barley production in Ethiopia. It is the first of two forthcoming books, which focuses on malt barley. Ethiopia is one of the major Vavilovian centers of origin for many agricultural crops and a center of diversity for crops like barley. Generally, both food (six-row) and malt (two-row) barley are cultivated in the country. Traditionally six-row barley is predominantly grown as major food security crop in the extreme highlands where alternative cereals are absent or limited. It can also be used for preparation of local beverages such as tella (local beer) and areke (local spirit). Malt barley based on two-row is a recent introduction to meet the domestic malt demand of growing malt factories and breweries. The country has been significantly deficient in meeting the ever-increasing malt barley demand of local breweries from domestic production where the net import bill for malt barley continues to increase and projected to reach as high as US$420 million by 2025. Given the favorable environment and available improved malty barley technologies, farmers can cost-effectively grow malt barley to meet the rapidly growing domestic demand reducing import and improve their livelihoods through increased income. The Book with its title“Deployment of Malt Barley Technologies in Ethiopia-Achievements and Lessons Learned” provides a synthesis of the research for development and rich experience gained in scaling of malt barley technologies through effective partnership with broad range of stakeholders including the federal Ministry of Agriculture and regional Bureaus of Agriculture, the federal and regional agricultural research institutes, the federal and regional public seed enterprises, seed producer cooperatives or farmer seed producer groups, the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), and ultimately malt barley farmers. Many of the contributors to this volume provide sound evidence in favor of diversified interventions with due focus on mechanisms for institutionalizing the research approaches to ensure sustainability in addressing the challenges of domestic malt barley production and with the potential for export. The experiences and knowledge gained are put in context aimed at decision- makers, not only in Ethiopia but in other developing countries for wider application and spill overs. The Book provides useful insights to policy makers, researchers, students, development practitioners and donors involved in international development for generating and moving technologies out to the farmers’ fields.

Dairy has been identified as a priority area for the Ethiopian government, which aims to increase Ethiopian milk production at an average annual growth rate of 15.5% during the GTP II period (2015-2020), from 5,304 million litters to 9,418 million litters. This study was carried out to assess determinants of dairy product market participation of the rural households in the case of Adaberga district in West Shewa zone of Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia. The study took a random sample of 120 dairy producer households by using multi-stage sampling procedure and employing a probability proportional to sample size sampling technique. For the individual producer, the decision to participate or not to participate in dairy production was formulated as binary choice probit model to identify factors that determine dairy product market participation.

As a result, they have long established their capacity for adaptation. However, in recent years, changes in their environments from increased frequency of drought, land fragmentation and natural resource degradation have undermined their adaptive strategies increasing their vulnerability. Trends point to a pattern of climatic hazards more frequently turning to disasters. One option for pastoralist and agro pastoralists to build on their adaptive capacity and resiliency is closely related to their skills on managing their natural resources.

The objectives of the study were to assess raw milk hygienic handling practices and constraints associated with milk quality. A total of 180 smallholder milk producers farmers, two dairy cooperatives, one dairy cooperative union, two milk processors and ten consumers were interviewed to collect the required information using semi-structured questionnaires and focused group discussions. About 65% the respondents were removed manure daily While 35% were removed three times a week. Most of the interviewed dairy producers 69.4% washed their hands before milking while the rest 30.6% did not wash their hands. About 62.2% of the dairy producers washed their cow’s udder before milking and 37.8% were not washing. Nearly half of the respondents 46.7% were did not use towels for udder drying, 15.6% used common towel and 37.7 % reported they did not practice udder washing and drying. All of the interviewed milk producer farmers were used plastic made milk containers during milking and transported the milk to collection centers.

The study was undertaken using questionnaire-based survey and a participatory group discussion method. A total of 180 households were participated in the interview. A Structured questionnaire was used to describe qualitative and quantitative traits. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Frequency distribution procedures were used for statistical analysis of survey. From the result of the study about 74.8% of AI was handled by government-based AI delivery system. Similarly, 16.5% of AI service was given by private practitioners. About 95.5% of the respondents had an opportunity to access currently existing AI service. However, about 57.47% of the respondents were not satisfied with the existing AI service. Regarding AI service about 90.45% of dairy farmers were get AI service with interruption from current delivery system. Among these 94.94% of the respondents were not get AI service during weekends and Holiday. The survey shows us about 96.83% of the respondents were used Holstein Friesian for cross breeding and also Holstein Friesian breed was the most preferred breed for cross breeding.

A cross sectional study was conducted from January 2016 to April 2017 in four selected sub-cities of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with the objectives of assessing milk handling practices, determine bacterial contamination and detect selected milk-borne zoonotic pathogens along the dairy value chain. A total of 146 respondents were interviewed to collect the required information from farmers, vendors and restaurants about owner and workers’ awareness about pre and post-harvest milk handling practices. Results showed that, about 75.7% of farmers did not clean their hands between milking, 25.7% did not wash cow teats (udder) and 25.7% clean animal houses three times per a week. The majority (62.86%) of farmers were not trained on farm management and milk handling. Forty milk samples (29 raw and 11 boiled) from different sources were analysed for bacterial load and the result reveals that overall mean total boiled milk), and sample sources (farm and restaurants, and vendor and restaurants) (p<0.05).

The total annual milk production from cattle has been estimated at 3.5 billion liters from 11.38 million dairy cows. As a result, cow’s milk is the focus of milk processing in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, the base of milk processing is fermented milk (Ergo) with no defined starter cultures used to initiate fermentation. The main reasons reported for the use of fermented milk as a base of processing are the small volume of milk produced per day, better shelflife of fermented milk, consumer preference and type of available milk processing materials. The success of dairy development to a large extent depends on market for the product combined with other dairy infrastructure and availability of small-scale processing facilities to manufacture high quality dairy products. In Ethiopia, only 6.6 % of the total milk produced in the country is marketed as liquid milk and the remaining 48.8 % and 44.6 % of produced milk is used for home consumption and processing, respectively. Out of the 44.6 % of milk allocated for household processing, 75 % and 25 % go to butter and Ethiopian cottage cheese production, respectively.
