  2. Every year a large number of PhD and MSc students are graduating As a result of the institutional partnership, a number of development projects under way in the country As part of these institutional partnership, a development research on dairy sector has been implemented in Amhara region The source of budget was the commisssion for the development studies (KEF)= 11352 EURO Without this It woukld have been very difficult to accomplish For that we would like to thank the office Ethiopia a priority country for Austrian development coop.

  4. Amhara region is one of the 11 regional state in Ethiopia Population around 19.1 million The region is known for its huge water resources The major drinking water sources include rivers, streams, hand-dug wells and springs These sources are not protected from flooding, livestock, wildlife and human contamination As a result, water-born diseases become next to malaria health problem The overall clean water supply in the region 52% II. Water source in the Amhara Region

  5. Absence of a coherent development policy, strategy and program Low institutional capacity and effectiveness Shortage of finance and huge investment requirements Lack of appropriate technology Low level of infrastructure development Abesence of involvement of the stakeholders Low water use efficiency Reasons for lower level clean water supply

  6. Lake Tana as major water source • It accounts 50% of the total inland water source • It has an area of 3156 km2 It has a multipurpose values • Home of various fuana and flora • Home of unique endemic species of fish • Home of the historic orthodox church monasteries

  7. Source of water supply for the number of activities Used for transportation Major tourist attraction Habitate for country‘s unique Fogera cattle Lake Tana cont...

  8. Siltation Pollution and drainage Over-exploitation of specific fish species Deforestation Overgrazing Population pressure Flooding Conflict of interest regarding the use of the water Challenges related to Lake Tana ecosystem

  9. Effects of Strategic Dietary Supplementation on Local Fogera and Crossbred Dairy Cows in Northwestern Ethiopia In the region livestock feed shortage become critical On the otherhand, huge molasses is produced in the country Molasses in the form of UMMB has got a positive history Objective of this project was to evaluate the effect of UMMB on the performance of local Fogera and crossbred dairy cows III. Cooperative project

  10. Dry vs wet season grazing situation

  11. Research: on-station and on-farm using Fogera & crossbred cows (2 x 2) Data on milk yield, milk composition, reproductive performance and benefit: cost ratio Intro.cont.....

  12. On-station cont…

  13. UMMB has got a positive effect in milk yield, milk composition, reproductive performance and benefit : cost ratio in both breeds But the Fogera cows were superior in their milk fat contents whereas The crossbred were superior in milk yield, reproductive performance, benefit: cost When the sample result is converted to 50% national dairy herd, per year 1.25 bill. ETB Results

  14. On-station and on-farm performance

  15. Farmers‘ feed back

  16. Workshop conducted with 49 stakeholders (9 women) More than 1000 brochures produced and distributed Training of farmers, enumerators and DAs Presentation on the contents of the project to federal higher officials and university students Technology dissemination & experience sharing

  17. Results will be presented to Research-Extension-Farmers-Advisory-Council & other stakeholders UMMB production and use manual will be produced Further training on production and use of the technology Follow up projects already designed Future Development and Research Plan
