  1. Potential livestock value chain interventions LIVES Research planning workshop March 26-28, 2013 Addis Ababa

  2. Livestock value chain interventions • Production • Input/service supply interventions • Processing/marketing interventions • Livestock specific knowledge/capacity development interventions

  3. Livestock production interventions • Breeds • Fodder • Health • Market oriented animal husbandry

  4. Livestock input/service supply interventions • Multiplication systems for (improved) breeds • Veterinary drugs supply • Health services • Supply feeds, accessories

  5. Improved breeds • Dairy • Peri - urban fluid milk system – crosses with exotics • Rural local butter system – crosses Jersey, Borana, Begait, Fogera • Small ruminants • Crosses with exotic breeds • Improved local breeds (through ram selection) • Large ruminants • Mainly male animals/oxen from improved dairy butter breeds within the same location or pastoral areas – crosses with Borana

  6. Improved breeds • Poultry • Peri urban (semi) commercial system: exotic egg and broiler types • Rural semi commercial system: local breeds • Apiculture • No improved bees – some characterization is on-going by Holetta research)

  7. Breed/animal multiplication and services • On farm reproduction (part of animal husbandry practices) • Specialized services • Private AI services (dairy/beef) • Hormone assisted mass insemination (dairy/beef) • Heifer breeding farms in rural areas(dairy) • Community breeding schemes (small ruminants) • Production day old chicks (poultry) • Pullet producers (poultry) • AI for poultry • Bee colony multiplication/AI (apiculture)

  8. Fodder development interventions • Grazing area development • Enclosures, cut and carry, rotational use,fertilization, over sowing • Conservation of grasses (hay, silage) • Planted fodder – backyard, cropland, irrigation plot • Perennial grasses • Perennial and annual (rotational) legumes • Conservation (hay,silage) • Crop residues • Increase through cereal/pulses crop improvement (new varieties, feed/food) • Treatment – chopping, urea, molasses • Conservation (silage) • Use of horticultural crop residues (banana, leafy vegetables)

  9. Input/service supply interventions for planted fodder development interventions • Management system communal grazing areas • Supply of forage seeds/ cuttings • FTCs • Private farmers • Linkages with regional/federal level seed suppliers • Mechanical chopping/bailing services

  10. Market oriented animal husbandry • Animal reproduction – fertility management • Housing • Feeding and watering • Health – mortality • Waste management • Business scale • Timing • Quality • Animal identification/record keeping

  11. Supply of inputs/services interventions for market oriented animal husbandry • District level coops and/or private shops stocking required inputs (feeds, drugs, accessories) using hub approach and agro dealership linkages • Community animal health worker system (dairy, large/small ruminants) • Women vaccination workers (pullets) • Credit products to purchase commercial inputs and scale up operations

  12. Livestock processing/marketing interventions • Collective action to reduce sales/processing cost per unit of product (hub approach) • Milk collection centers • Women butter groups for home processing of local butter • Private/cooperative dairy processing: fluid milk/table butter (peri urban) and local butter in rural areas • Marketing groups large & small ruminants • Create linkages including contract farming • Dairy farmers/milk collection centers with processors • Apiculturist with export abattoirs/honey processors • Poultry/dairy producers with institutional consumers • Quality/food safety improvement • Milk/butter quality testing/payment • Slaughtering hygiene

  13. Livestock & environment interventions • Utilization of manure for biogassproduction • Zoning of livestock production in peri urban areas • Create synergies between grazing areas development and apiculture • Fewer/higher producing animals to reduce methane emission

  14. Livestock specific knowledge/capacity development interventions • Commodity specific platforms • Animal and forage husbandry training • Training individuals/communities in commodity specific service delivery and input production • Grazing area management • Community breeding schemes • Mass insemination • Health service delivery • Forage seed multiplication • Pullet production/day old chick production • Bee colony splitting • Training processors in food quality and safety

  15. Equipment/supplies for market oriented livestock development for demonstration testing • Ear tags/chips • Electronic recording devices • E-readers • Mobile milking machines • Quality testing equipment • Heat detection devices • Hormones • Choppers/ bailers • Incubators • Bio gas electric generators/storage bags • Modern housing
