A total of 384 samples were collected from different kebeles near Jimma. Out of the total sampled 164 (42.71%) were positive for Fasciolosis. According to coprological examination, variation in prevalence among the localities was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The result also revealed no statistically significant difference between sexes and ages (p>0.05). Infection rate in poor body condition animals (74.80%) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than good body condition animals (12.20%) and this indicates that the importance of Fasciolosis in causing weight loss and weakness, a characteristic of sign of chronic Fasciolosis. Results obtained in this area were discussed in comparisons with the finding of other research works.

  • Downscaling Future Temperature and Precipitation Values in Kombolcha Town, South Wollo in Ethiopia
    Research Article Volume 5:4, 2021 Journal of Environmental Hazards ISSN: 2684-4923 Open Access Downscaling Future Temperature and Precipitation Values in Kombolcha Town, South Wollo in Ethiopia Kasye Shitu1* and Mengesha Tesfaw2 1Department of Soil Resource and Watershed Management, Assosa University, Assosa, Ethiopia 2Departments of Soil Resource and Watershed Management, Wolidia University, Wolidia, Ethiopia Abstract Whilst climate change is already manifesting in Ethiopia through changes in temperature and rainfall, its magnitude is poorly studied at regional levels. Therefore, the main aim of this study was statistically downscale of future daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and precipitation value in Kombolcha Town, South Wollo, in Ethiopia. For this the long term historical climatic data were collected from Ethiopian National Meteorological Agency for Kombolcha station and the GCM data were downloaded from the global circulation models of, the Canadian Second Generation Earth System Model from the link (http://climate scenarios.canada.ca/?page=dstsdi). For future climate data generation among the different downscaling techniques, the statistical down scaling method, a type of regression model was used and the variations of temperature (maximum and minimum) and precipitation in the town for annually and seasonally condition were analysis based on the base of the 2020s, 2050s and 2080s. In the future, relative to the observed mean value of annual rainfall in Kombolcha town, mean value of annual rainfall will decrease 1.36% - 7.03% for RCP4.5and 5.37% -13.8% for RCP8.5 emission scenarios in the last 21 century. Both maximum and minimum temperature of the town will be increased in the future time interval for both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios.

As a result harvest and post harvest activities were going on effectively in most parts of Meher growing areas of the country. With regard to air temperature most parts of the central like Addis Ababa (Bole), Debre Zeit, Bui, Debre Birhan and Fitche; northeastern Ethiopia like Kombolcha, Amba Mariam, Chefa, Enewary, Mehal Meda and Wegel Tena; northern like Adigrat, Sinkata and Mychew; northwestern like Dangila, Debre Tabor and Mota including eastern highlands like Alemaya and Jijiga experienced extreme minimum temperature less than 5°C. Some areas like Adigrat, Alemaya, Amba Mariam, Dangila and Debre Birhan recorded extreme minimum temperature less than 5°C for 6-10 consecutive days. Besides, some areas like Debre Birhan and Alemaya recorded –2.6 and –3.5° extreme minimum temperature respectively. Thus this condition could affect crops that are at early maturing stags there by negatively affecting the seed quality. It could also have negative impact on the normal growth and development of perennial crops. During the first dekad of December 2005 the observed dry Bega weather condition over most parts of the country could have significant contribution on the ongoing harvest and post harvest activities. Pursuant to the crop phonological report harvest and post harvest activities were under way in most parts of Meher growing areas.

    Using a Geographical Information System within the BASIS Research Program in Ethiopia A report prepared for the Institute for Development Anthropology (IDA) under the BASIS/Institute for Development Research (IDR) program for Ethiopia Report prepared by: Michael Shin, Ph. D. Department of Geography and Regional Studies University of Miami Table of Contents 1 Levels of Analysis and the South Wollo 1 2 Spatial Analysis in the South Wollo 5 3 Data Issues within the South Wollo 7 References 9 Appendix A: Trip Report for Michael Shin 10 1 This report provides a preliminary account of how a geographical information system (GIS) can be integrated within the BASIS research program in Ethiopia, and provides recommendations for its development and use. Part I shows how data from different levels of analysis, and diverse sources, are integrated into a comprehensive food security database for the South Wollo. Spatial analyses which can be used to organize, inform and extend the on-going market surveys and market inventories in the South Wollo are illustrated in Part II, and the final section provides suggestions for future data collection efforts. Data for this report were collected by Dr. Michael Shin during his visit to Ethiopia between 27 July 1999 and 7 August 1999, which was shortened by approximately one week due to inclement weather and sporadic travel times. Presentation graphics within this report were created with the ArcView (version 3.1) GIS distributed by Environmental Systems Research, Incorporated, and MacroMedia FreeHand (version 8.0.1) graphic design software. Due to high start-up costs, both financially and in terms of technical capacity building which are documented in Shin (1998), subsequent GIS analyses for the South Wollo food security project should be conducted in the United States.

  • Commercial Behaviour of Smallholder Potato Producers: the Case of Kombolcha Woreda, Eastern Part of Ethiopia
    COMMERCIAL BEHAVIOUR OF SMALLHOLDER POTATO PRODUCERS: THE CASE OF KOMBOLCHAWOREDA, EASTERN PART OF ETHIOPIA Review article Economics of Agriculture 1/2016 UDC 633.49:631.1.017.3:330.13(63) COMMERCIAL BEHAVIOUR OF SMALLHOLDER POTATO PRODUCERS: THE CASE OF KOMBOLCHAWOREDA, EASTERN PART OF ETHIOPIA Kumilachew Alamerie Melesse1 Abstract Meeting the challenge of improving rural incomes in Ethiopia will require some form of transformation of the subsistence, low-input and low-productivity farming systems to agricultural commercialization. In the process, commercial production of high value food crops like potato would have been expected. Nonetheless, in the study area, Kombolcha Woreda, the extent to which farmers have commercialized potato production was not known. This study was then undertaken to analyse the extent to which potato was oriented towards the market (denoted by commercialization index) and identify the factors affecting commercialization of potato. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 130 sample households from six sample kebeles. In the study, both primary and secondary data sources were used. Results showed that potato production was lucrative and semi-commercialized i.e. about 59.50% of the potato produce were sold. Moreover, the two limit-Tobit regression model results indicated that non/off farm income, access to information, access to improved seed and access to irrigation affect proportion of the value of potato sold positively and significantly while number of plots affects it negatively. Hence, policies should emphasis on reducing land fragmentation, creating awareness on non/off farm employment, and offer improved seeds and irrigation facilities to farmers and access information. Keywords: Commercialization, commercialization index, potato, profitability, two limit Tobit JEL: D22, O13, Q12, Q13 Introduction The economy of Ethiopia remains highly dependent on agriculture, which contributes about 41 percent of GDP, 83 percent of employment and 90 percent of exports (EEA, 2012).
