Small ruminant value chain development in Menz, Ethiopia Our vision: “By 2020, increased income and consumption of quality sheep meat of all VC actors
through an effective and sustainable Menz sheep value chain”
• Incidence of infectious diseases (pasteurellosis and sheep pox) and parasites due to shortage of effective drug and vaccine supply and poor delivery of vet services to producers (poorly equipped health posts (staff and equipment) and transport problems)
• Low feed quality and shortage of forage seeds • Low performance of local breed due to shortage of improved rams • Limited market share of producers due to lack of market information, poor market
infrastructure, unlicensed traders and brokers and double taxation • Low quality animals and inconsistent supply • Gap in knowledge and skills of producers and extension agents in improved
production, in particular efficient feeding
Altitude >2800
Habitat Tepid, cool highland
Distance from Addis 280km
Production system Sheep-barley
Human population 324,705
% of female headed household 10.8
