Malaria is a major public health problem in Ethiopia and has been consistently reported as one of the three leading top causes of morbidity and mortality. In East Wollega Zone there is lack of empirical evidences on the level of malaria prevalence. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out to determine the two year (July 2018 to June 2020) malaria prevalence based on district health information system version two (dhis2) database reports. All malaria cases reported in the specified periods were carefully reviewed by using questionnaire and analysed.

  • Effect of Termite Mound Soil on Growth and Yield of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea Batatas) in Western Ethiopia
    Journal of Agricultural Science and Engineering Vol. 7, No. 1, 2021, pp. 8-13 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/jase ISSN: 2381-6821 (Print); ISSN: 2381-6848 (Online) Effect of Termite Mound Soil on Growth and Yield of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas) in Western Ethiopia Motuma Chimdi 1, Oljira Kenea 2, *, Tena Regasa 2 1Department of Soil Resource and Water Shade Management, College of Agriculture and Natural Resource Management, Wollega University, Shambu, Ethiopia 2Department of Biology, College of Natural and Computational Sciences, Wollega University, Nekemte, Ethiopia Abstract Termite mound soils (TMS) are utilized as degraded top soil amendment and an alternative to chemical fertilizer for growing crops in some small holder farmers in Africa. However empirical studies on the use of mound soil for production of crops are scanty in African countries including Ethiopia. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of TMS on growth and total root yield of Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam) as compared to adjacent soil with and without application of inorganic fertilizer (NPK) in Gudeya Bila district, Western Ethiopia . A field experiment was carried out during main cropping season in 2019 at three farmers’ fields. The treatment combinations were arranged in a complete randomized block design (CRBD) with three replications with sweet potato as testing root crop. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) which was done by using Genstat software 18 th Edition. Results showed that on average, significantly higher dry biomass weight (1750±76.4gm/plot) and total root yield (4066.7±23.3gm/plot) of the sweet potato grown in TMS were observed than in adjacent soil with NPK in which dry biomass weight (1533.3±88.2 gm/plot) and root yields (3043.3±26.1 gm/plot) were recorded.

  • Prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis in Gudeya Bila District, East Wollega Zone of Oromia Regional State, Western Ethiopia
    African Journal of Basic & Applied Sciences 8 (6): 336-342, 2016 ISSN 2079-2034 © IDOSI Publications, 2016 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.ajbas.2016.336.342 Prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis in Gudeya Bila District, East Wollega Zone of Oromia Regional State, Western Ethiopia Terefe Abdeta, Abriham Kebede, Jiregna Dugassa and Zelalem Abera School of Veterinary Medicine, College of Medical and Health Science, Wollega University, P.O. Box, 395, Nekemte, Ethiopia Abstract: A cross sectional study was conducted in Gudeya Bila district, East Wollega zone, Oromia Regional State of Ethiopia to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of bovine trypanosomosis using parasitological techniques from November 2015 to May, 2016. Blood samples were collected randomly from selected cattle of both sex and different age groups and examined with parasitological techniques (i.e. thin smear). Out of the total 384 examined animals, 25 (6.5%) cattle were infected with trypanosomosis. Most of the infections were due to Trypanosoma congolense (60%) followed by Trypanosoma vivax (36%) and, the rest was T. b. brucei (4%). The overall prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis during the study period was 6.5%. Among peasant associations, Haro Gudisa had high prevalence rate (10.18%), whereas, low prevalence rate (2.47%) was recorded in Bila town. The prevalence of the disease between the sexes was 6.02% for males and 6.88% for females. Prevalence rate was slightly higher in adult (6.86%) than in young animals (5.13%). No statistically significant associations (P>0.05) were observed between the disease and potential risk factors like PAs, age and sex. Poor body condition animals (10.34%) were highly affected compared to medium (1.17%) and good (0%) body condition.

  • Feasibility Study on Soybean Value Chain - 2005 - Promotion of Cereal Banks and Access to Market - Oromo - Ethiopia
    Centre International de Recherche et de Développement Feasibility study on soybean value chain - 2005 - Promotion of cereal banks and access to market - Oromo - Ethiopia Publication UNGANA 558 – © CIDR – Tous droits de reproduction réservés réservés reproduction droits de – Tous – © CIDR 558 UNGANA Publication Maud FEKADU February - May 2005 INTRODUCTION Soybean has been introduced in Ethiopia during the 1980s by the socialist regime of the Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam, following the great famine of 1984-85. The Ethiopian Nutrition Institute was convinced that it could solve malnutrition provided people would get accustomed to it. Thousands of tons were imported and distributed, advertisements were displayed on the radio and television to teach people how to use it, a research project for varietal selection was conduced together with the Yugoslavian government. However, despite many efforts, soybean could not penetrate Ethiopian traditional diet and was somehow forgotten. Nowadays the game has changed. Former studies on the Ethiopian grain market1 have highlighted a market opportunity for smallholders regarding soybean production. Indeed, several Ethiopian enterprises use soybean in their process, but the current local production is very far from satisfying this demand. CIDR, Centre International de Développement et de Recherche, together with its local partners (Cereal Bank Technical Platform and Non Governmental Organisations), is aiming to promote family farming systems through the implementation of “fair” links between smallholders and a sustainable market. Therefore, in the line with the previous observation, soybean has been identified as a potential opportunity for CIDR to step into action. This paper aims to further describe soybean market and to reveal eventual opportunities for CIDR intervention, and secondly to study every selected operating area and to design its strategy for production and marketing.
