Past experiences and next year plan of dairy synchronization in Tigray

  1. The demand for milk and milk products is increasing from time to time in Ethiopia and world in general.
  2. The main constraints of the sector are:
  3. low production potential animal breeds,
  4. disease
  5. infrastructure problem, and
  6. poor heat detection
  7. unskilled AI technicians, and
  8. some logistic problems
  9. It is still possible to improve the reproductive performance of dairy herd using efficient heat detection,
  10. Match feed available season with cattle breeding so as Decrease calf mortality
  11. Timed milk production
  12. Gantafshumin kebeles/Tabias:
  13. Buket,
  14. Dibla,
  15. Sasunand
  16. mesanu and
  17. Klteablalo in kebeles/Tabias

  21. Maymesan
  22. Second Phaseof- Woredas
  23. TahtayMaichew
  24. LaelayMaichew
  25. Adwa
  26. dairy belt area of the region or vicinity to urban and per urban for milk market (Mekelle – Wukro- Adigrat)
  27. Market opportunity in present and near feature
  28. Access to the main road
  29. Cattle population
  30. Animal Body condition
  31. Season, puberty, age, lactation, gestation
  32. Ready to adopt technology
  33. Can transfer the technology to others
  34. Local
  35. Crossed
  36. HF
  37. Animal body condition range 4-7
  38. from all age group and parity.
  39. too old and highest parity are rejected
  40. Must not have a history of birth difficulty
  41. luteal
  42. follicular phases of the estrous cycle.
  43. PGF2∞is given in the proestrus stage (estrus 6-30h, metaestrus 3-5d, diestrus 12d, proestrus)
  44. PGF2∞ shorten estrus cycle by 12 days.
  45. Therefore, PG will only work to regress the CL from days 5 to 17 of the estrous cycle
  46. Most of the animals that took two dose of semen were inseminated 48hr after the hormone
  47. First insemination was 48hr after treatment
  48. Training to Technicians, Hormone and sexed semen
  49. Committed and dedicated team
  50. Efficient IA technicians (fromTARI, Wukro and Adigrat)
  51. Interested Farmers/ Woreda Administrators to adopt the technolgy
  52. Adikisanded (KiliteAwlaelo) and GantaAfeshum
  53. Makes it laborous
  54. Mainly on selecting participant farmer and heifers fitted to our selecting criteria was laborious.
  55. Luck of follow up and heat detection by some
  56. Poor body condition animals
  57. Luck of Integration b/n the regional team and technical team at the beginning
  58. 6 pregnant cows abort due to the hormone treatment.
  59. Out of the total synchronized animals 15 were off after hormonal injection
  60. E.g. Metseko,Gemad of KiliteAwelaelo
  61. Live Eucalyptus trees were used
  62. Slow or total failure to purchase equipments
  63. Ear tag applicator
  64. Delay b/n selection and synchronization
  65. Farmers are inpatient to keep their animals longer than 20 days after selection
  66. Lowland areas- for breeding
  67. Highland areas for Beef cattle and heifers rearing
