Assessment Report: IPMS – Farm Radio Participatory Agricultural Radio
Assessment Report: IPMS – Farm Radio Participatory Agricultural Radio Series’ in Ethiopia February, 2012 Evaluation report by: Eyob Mihretab (Development Consultant) Submitted To: IPMS / ILRI Submitted By: Farm Radio International Executive Summary In 2011, the Improving Productivity and Marketing Success (IPMS) project of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) asked Farm Radio international to coordinate the planning and delivery of a series of radio programs related to two of the commodity value chains involved in IPMS: apiculture in the Tigray Region, and fruit tree production in Sidama. Farm Radio International accepted this invitation, and, after signing an agreement with ILRI-IPMS, proceeded with the development, implementation and evaluation of a new approach to agricultural radio: the Participatory Agricultural Radio Series – or PARS. The PARS was conceptualized as a weekly series of 6 episodes of 30-minute radio programs related to some aspect of the apiculture or fruit tree value chains. Planned with input from and the participation of intended beneficiaries, the PARS engages farmers as central players to design, develop and implement a series of radio programs around an agricultural practice they deem essential to their livelihoods and overall food security. It was anticipated that the PARS would be successful in raising the knowledge levels of communities reached by the programs, but that a 6-week series was probably inadequate to have a short-term measurable impact on the practices/behaviours of farmers.

Abstract Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), a disease contributes significantly to cattle morbidity and mortality, remains the most important infectious disease of cattle in Ethiopia. Hence, a cross-sectional study was carried out in nine districts of Sidama Zone, to estimate animal level seroprevalence of CBPP in cattle, and to assess risk factors associated with its occurrence using competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA). -

Epidemiological Study of Ticks and Their Distribution in Decha Woreda of Kafa Zone, SNNPRS
International Journal of Research in Agriculture and Forestry Volume 3, Issue 6, June 2016, PP 7-19 ISSN 2394-5907 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5915 (Online) Epidemiological Study of Ticks and their Distribution in Decha Woreda of Kafa zone, SNNPRS Yismashewa Wogayehu1, Abebe Wossene2, Senait Getachew3, Tigist Kabtyimer4 1,4 Mizan Regional Veterinary Laboratory, SNNPRS 2 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Addis Ababa University 3 South Omo Agricultural Research Center of SNNP ABSTRACT An epidemiological investigation of tick parasites was undertaken from September 2004 to March 2005 in Decha woreda of Kaffa zone, Southern Nations and Nationalities of People’s Regional States (SNNPRS). The study was conducted with the aim to determine the distribution, prevalence and seasonal variation of cattle tick species through cross sectional and longitudinal epidemiological study methods. A combination of sampling techniques was used to identify sampling units. A total of 480 cattle equally distributed to each stratum (160 cattle from highland, midland and lowland) were subjected for sampling. Furthermore, out of 160 cattle, 40 were randomly selected for longitudinal study from each agro-ecological zone. The result found shows that all examined cattle from lowland were positive for tick infestation followed by animals from midland and highland areas with 100%, 92.5% and 68.12% prevalence, respectively. Though the difference is not statistically significant between animals with different body conditions, the proportion of infested animals appear to be higher in animals of poor body condition (90.91%) than those in good body condition (85.16%). A significant variation (p<0.05) in prevalence of tick infestation was noted between different age groups, the highest being in animals with 3 and half years as well as of 4 years old. -

The area of study was purposively selected considering the availability of fruits at any season. Then four sites (kebeles) were randomly selected to conduct this study. A total of 250 farm households who produce fruit were selected. To collect the required information’s, a structured questionnaire were prepared and dispatched through data collectors. All the collected data were subjected to SPSS version 20 for analysis. The results showed that high production percentage of pineapple (95%) followed by avocado (76.2%) and papaya (66.3%) were noticed. Although there was such production amount, the percentage of household consumption level for pineapple, avocado and papaya was 28.6, 37.5 and 28.7 respectively. Moreover, the percentage amounts sold to market for pineapple, avocado and papaya were 71.4, 53.8 and 68.5 respectively. Most of the households (61.4%) did report that they sell their fruits to nearby markets whereas 36.7% did sell at their own farm gate. -

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Soil quality assessment is valuable for evaluating agroecosystem sustainability, soil degradation, and identifying sustainable land management practices. This study compared soil quality within culturally protected forest areas and adjacent grassland, grazing land, and farmland in Abo-Wonsho, Southern Ethiopia. A total of 40 soil samples (4 land uses × 5replications× 2soildepthlayers: 0 to 10 cm and 10 to 20 cm) were collected for analysis. Soil textural fractions (i.e., sand, silt, and clay percentage) varied with land use and soil depths even though the textural class across all land use types was sandy loam. Bulk density, soil organic carbon (SOC), and available potassium (K) varied significantly: = 0.041, = 0.001,and < 0.001, respectively, with land use and soil depth, but other indicators showed no significant difference.
