The contribution of beekeeping is perhaps one of the most important income-generating activities for millions of smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. This study was intended to assess beekeeping practices and potential in three districts of Afar Region, northern Ethiopia. Primary data were collected from 120 respondents proportionally selected from each district. Semi-structured questionnaire were employed to collect the primary data. Focus-group discussion was also used to support interpretation of the interview data. Basically, descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. All respondents use traditional honey production system despite some recent trials. The mean live colony ownership of the sample beekeepers is 10.08 colonies per household, with a maximum ownership of 62 colonies. The study showed that the annual honey production per beehive varies from 4 to 17 kg, with a mean production of 9.66 kg. The majority of the respondents harvest two times per year, while 18%, 19%, and 14.2% of the respondents harvest three, four, and five times per year respectively.

  • Productivity and Egg Quality Traits of Sasso T44 Chicken in North Showa Zone, Ethiopia
    Journal of Animal & Plant Sciences (J.Anim.Plant Sci.), 2019. Vol.39, Issue 3: 6478-6486 Publication date 28/03/2019, http://www.m.elewa.org/JAPS; ISSN 2071-7024 Productivity and Egg Quality Traits of Sasso T44 Chicken in North Showa Zone, Ethiopia Fanu Woldemichael Mengsite1, Melkamu Bezabih Yitbarek2*, Emana Getachew3 1Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, Food and Climate Sciences, Injibara University, Ethiopia 2,3Department of Animal Sciences, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Debre Markos University, Ethiopia *Corresponding author’s email [email protected] Key words: Egg production, Egg quality traits, SassoT44 chickens, sexual maturity. 1 ABSTRACT This study was conducted to egg quality traits of Sasso T44 chicken under traditional production system in North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. Three districts were selected based on agro-ecology. From each district three kebeles were purposively selected, and simple random sampling was employed to select the respondents who had four and above Sasso T44 chickens. A total of 270 eggs were used to determine the internal egg quality traits. The collected data were analysed by statistical analysis system (SAS) Version 9.2. The study revealed that the external egg quality traits showed a significant difference (P<0.001) in egg weight, egg width, egg length, shell weight and shell thickness, but shape index had no significant difference. In addition, internal egg quality traits had significant difference (P<0.001) in yolk height, albumen height, yolk weight, albumen weight, albumen and yolk ratio except yolk colour and Haugh unit. Therefore, it could be concluded that the egg quality traits of Sasso T44 chicken encourages keeping them under traditional production system.
