Abattoir survey of hydatidosis was conducted during routine meat inspection activity on randomly selected 384 cattle encountered at Bele Municipality Abattoir. Ante-mortem examination was conducted to note the breed, age, sex and body condition of study animals. These animals were given number in order to identify them during the postmortem examination. Post mortem examination was conducted to note the presence of hydatid cysts. A total of 56 (14.57%) cattle were affected with hydatid cyst. The study shows that there was significant variation in the prevalence of hydatid cyst in different peasant association (p<0.05). However, no such association was observed in prevalence of hydatid cysts according to sex, age, breed and body condition of slaughtered animals (p=0.499, p=0.086, p=0.613, p=0.140, respectively). The study period of the economic loss due to organ condemnation associated to bovine hydatidosis at the abattoir was estimated 6,720.00 Ethiopian Birr.

Control efforts have largely focused on the antibiotic treatment (A) and surgery (S) components of the World Health Organizations (WHO) SAFE strategy. Although S and A efforts have had a positive impact, this approach may not be sustainable. Consequently, this study focuses on the latter two primary prevention components; facial cleanliness (F) and environmental improvement (E). A geographical approach is employed to gain a better understanding of how culture, economics, environment and behaviour are interacting to determine disease risk in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia.

Received 29 July, 2016; Accepted 25 August, 2016 Micronutrients are important for crop growth, production and their deficiency and toxicity affect crop yield. However, the up dated information about their status and spatial distribution in Ethiopian soils is scarce. Therefore, fertilizer recommendation for crops in the country has until recently focused on nitrogen and phosphorus macronutrients only. But many studies have revealed the deficiency of some micronutrients in soils of different parts of Ethiopia. To narrow this gap, this study was conducted in Kedida Gamela, Kecha Bira and Damboya districts of Kambata Tambaro (KT) Zone, Southern Ethiopia, through assessing and mapping the status and spatial distribution of micronutrients. The micronutrients were extracted by using Mehlich-III multi-nutrient extraction method and their concentrations were measured by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES). The fertility maps and predication were prepared by co-Kriging method using Arc map 10.0 tools and the status of Melich-III extractable iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), boron (B), copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) were indicated on the map.

  • Market Assessment for Feasible Income Generating Activities in Selected Woredas of South Omo Zone (Male, Benatsemay and Dasenech), Southern Ethiopia
    Journal of Natural Sciences Research www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3186 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0921 (Online) Vol.8, No.11, 2018 Market Assessment for Feasible Income Generating Activities in Selected Woredas of South Omo Zone (Male, Benatsemay and Dasenech), Southern Ethiopia Yidnekachew Alemayehu 1 Biruk Gezahegn 2* Tegegn Tesfaye 3 Medihin Madebo 4 Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka Agricultural Research Center, P.O. Box 96, Jinka, Ethiopia Abstract The market assessment study was conducted in Dasenech, Malle and Benatsemay Districts of South Omo Zone with the objectives of assessing market feasible commodities for income generation in some selected project woredas of south Omo Zone. A total of 459 members of self-help group from pastoral and agro pastorals were participated on key informants’ interview as well as group discussion from 15 kebeles of three woreda. According to the key informants’ interview and focus group discussion with in each group we had summarized and prioritized the consensus ideas of the participants in group discussion for feasible income generating activities. The constraints in the study area include absence of market linkage, market information, infrastructure problem and absence of alternative market, producing poor quality product due to lack of awareness and crop disease. Keywords: Market Assessment, Income Generating Activities, Constraints and Opportunity 1. INTRODUCTION More than 85% of the Ethiopian population, residing in the rural area, is engaged in agricultural production as a major means of livelihood. Agriculture, which accounts for about 47% of GDP, 80% of export earnings and 85% of employment is the backbone of the economy. The industrial sector which accounted for only 12% of GDP in 2004 comprises making of textiles, food processing, cement manufacturing, construction and hydroelectric power generation, among others (MoARD, 2008).

  • 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.
