    Shewayrga and Sopade Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2011, 7:19 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/7/1/19 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Ethnobotany, diverse food uses, claimed health benefits and implications on conservation of barley landraces in North Eastern Ethiopia highlands Hailemichael Shewayrga1* and Peter A Sopade2,3 Abstract Background: Barley is the number one food crop in the highland parts of North Eastern Ethiopia produced by subsistence farmers grown as landraces. Information on the ethnobotany, food utilization and maintenance of barley landraces is valuable to design and plan germplasm conservation strategies as well as to improve food utilization of barley. Methods: A study, involving field visits and household interviews, was conducted in three administrative zones. Eleven districts from the three zones, five kebeles in each district and five households from each kebele were visited to gather information on the ethnobotany, the utilization of barley and how barley end-uses influence the maintenance of landrace diversity. Results: According to farmers, barley is the “king of crops” and it is put for diverse uses with more than 20 types of barley dishes and beverages reportedly prepared in the study area. The products are prepared from either boiled/roasted whole grain, raw- and roasted-milled grain, or cracked grain as main, side, ceremonial, and recuperating dishes. The various barley traditional foods have perceived qualities and health benefits by the farmers. Fifteen diverse barley landraces were reported by farmers, and the ethnobotany of the landraces reflects key quantitative and qualitative traits. Some landraces that are preferred for their culinary qualities are being marginalized due to moisture shortage and soil degradation.

  • Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices and Associated Factors
    Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences Research Article Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices and Associated Factors Among Mothers of Children Aged 0-23 Months in Kalu District, North-East Ethiopia: Community Based Cross-Sectional Study Seid Legesse*1 Minwuyelet Marru1, Tefera Alemu1, Daniel Dagne1, Birtukan Shiferaw1, Seid Ali1 Department of Nutrition, Amhara Public Health Institute, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Background: Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) is a cornerstone of care for ensuring optimal child growth and development during the first 2 years of life. Scientific evidence indicates that various poor IYCF practices have been shown to have numerous negative effects on children’s health. Therefore, Improving IYCF practice is critical to improved nutrition, health, and development of these age group children. This study aims to assess IYCF practices and associated factors among mothers of children aged 0-23 months in Kalu district, Northeast Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from 15 to 05/2019-15/06/2019. A total of 605 mothers who had a child aged 0-23 months were included in the study using multi-stage sampling followed by a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a pretested semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Bi-variate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with IYCF practices. Statistical significance was determined at the p-value < 0.05 Result: Of six hundred five (605) sampled mothers having an IYC age 0 to 23 months, 589 were successfully included in the study making the response rate of 97.35 %. The overall prevalence of appropriate complementary and breastfeeding practices was 9.6% and 32.1% respectively.

  • Demography and Health
    SNNPR Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Demography and Health Aynalem Adugna, July 2014 www.EthioDemographyAndHealth.Org 2 SNNPR is one of the largest regions in Ethiopia, accounting for more than 10 percent of the country’s land area [1]. The mid-2008 population is estimated at nearly 16,000,000; almost a fifth of the country’s population. With less than one in tenth of its population (8.9%) living in urban areas in 2008 the region is overwhelmingly rural. "The region is divided into 13 administrative zones, 133 Woredas and 3512 Kebeles, and its capital is Awassa." [1] "The SNNPR is an extremely ethnically diverse region of Ethiopia, inhabited by more than 80 ethnic groups, of which over 45 (or 56 percent) are indigenous to the region (CSA 1996). These ethnic groups are distinguished by different languages, cultures, and socioeconomic organizations. Although none of the indigenous ethnic groups dominates the ethnic makeup of the national population, there is a considerable ethnic imbalance within the region. The largest ethnic groups in the SNNPR are the Sidama (17.6 percent), Wolayta (11.7 percent), Gurage (8.8 percent), Hadiya (8.4 percent), Selite (7.1 percent), Gamo (6.7 percent), Keffa (5.3 percent), Gedeo (4.4 percent), and Kembata (4.3 percent) …. While the Sidama are the largest ethnic group in the region, each ethnic group is numerically dominant in its respective administrative zone, and there are large minority ethnic groups in each zone. The languages spoken in the SNNPR can be classified into four linguistic families: Cushitic, Nilotic, Omotic, and Semitic.

Estimated food security outcomes, October to December 2010 To date, the performance of bega/hageya/deyr rains has been below average as predicted. This has resulted in shortages of pasture and water in the southeastern pastoral and agropastoral parts of the country. Land preparation and planting of transitional crops, mainly sweet potato has been carried out as usual in SNNPR. Performance of these crops will highly depend on the performance of the sapie rains in December that are predicted to be normal to below normal this year. Overall meher season crop harvests (October to January) are expected to be normal to above normal this year, except in areas that were affected by water logging, floods, and yellow wheat rust, resulting in an overall improvement in food security in dominantly meher crop producing parts Source: FEWS NET and WFP of the country. Figure 2. Estimated food security outcomes, January to March 2010 Updated food security outlook through March 2011 The period November to March is typically a time of stable food security in Ethiopia given the meher harvest (October to January) which contributes 90 to 95 percent of total annual crop production. With the start of the harvest, staple food prices typically decline, further contributing to the improvement of food security. This year, the overall performance of meher season crops has been average to above average, although localized shocks led to reductions in production in some areas.

  • Study on Ruminal and Reticular Foreign Bodies in Cattle Slaugthered at Boditii Municipal Abattoir, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia
    Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 28 (2): 80-89, 2020 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2020 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.mejsr.2020.80.89 Study on Ruminal and Reticular Foreign Bodies in Cattle Slaugthered at Boditii Municipal Abattoir, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia 12Temesgen Zekarias, Tadewos Tantasa and 3Amanuel Ashebo 1Animal Health Researcher, Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2Animal Health Expert, Livestock and Fisheries Development Office, Humbo, Wolayta Zone, Ethiopia 3Animal Health Expert, livestock and Fisheries Development Office Hadero Tunto Zuria Woreda, Kembeta Tembaro Zone SNNPR, Tunto, Ethiopia Abstract: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November, 2017 to April, 2018 at Boditi Municipal Abattoir, Wolaita zone, Southern Ethiopia. With the objectives of to assess the prevalence and type of ruminal and reticular foreign bodies in cattle slaughtered at Boditi Municipal Abattoir. The study animals were selected by using systematic random sampling method from the total slaughtered animals. From the total of 514 male animals that were examined, 20.8% (n=107) were had foreign bodies at slaughter. When the prevalence was compared between breed, among different age groups, among different body condition score and animal originated from different areas, higher prevalence of foreign bodies 39.6%, 27.2%, 40.1%, 26.1% were observed in cross breed, old animals, animals having poor body condition and animals originate from Sodo, respectively. These factors are considered as potential risk factors and found highly significantly associated (P<0.05) with the occurrence of foreign bodies. The rumen harbored mostly non-metallic materials while reticulum was the major site for the retention of metallic objects.
