The rapid growth of the Ethiopian dairy supply chain has raised concerns regarding food-borne pathogens and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, it is crucial to have reliable methods for identifying bacteria and testing their susceptibility to antimicrobials in order to address public health concerns. The Vitek 2XL compact system is emerging...
Camel production is under climatic stress, where it plays a significant role in the livelihood and food security of camel herders in the Borana areas. Camel herders’ perceptions of climate change and variability are essential in response to climatic challenges and maintaining sustainable camel production. The aim of this study was to assess percept...
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between slaughter weight (SW) with body
components and liner body measurements and investigate the coefficient of correlation between
slaughter weight with body component and liner body measurements to select the best regression
equation. Data on liner body measurements (height at wither and at...
Enhancing hygiene practices and the microbiological quality of milk can significantly strengthen Ethiopia's dairy supply chain. However, producing hygienically safe milk presents a considerable challenge in the country's dairy sector, where milk and milk products are frequently processed under unsanitary conditions. Hence, this study aimed to asses...
Campylobacteriosis is an infectious zoonotic disease caused by the genus Campylobacter. The disease is transmitted from animals to humans predominantly through the consumption of contaminated food and water. However, the lack of information on the status of Campylobacter makes it difficult to quantify the role of camel meat in the dissemination of...

This study was carried out in the Adola sub-site of the Bore Agricultural Research Centre in order to assess the effects of suitable harvesting age and plant spacing on the morphological traits and yield of Desho grass. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3*3 factorial configurations in three replications was used to set up the experiment....
The present study was conducted to assess the occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus isolates from locally and commercially produced yogurt sold in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A total of 40 yogurt samples (20 commercially and 20 locally produced) were collected from retail ma...
The microbiota of dairy products is composed of starter and non-starter lactic acid bacteria, as well as other bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi that form secondary microbiota and play an important role in cheese ripening. The use of combined LAB strains based on compatibility and/or coexistence tests plays an important role in food production...
The study aimed to estimate flock structure, body length, heart girth and height at wizard and body weight variation of Gumuz Sheep in Assosa district. Flocks of 30 households with a total of 171 sheep were monitored for 8 months. The results revealed that the highest flock sizes were recorded in the wet season (July and August). The number of shee...
This study was conducted to analyze camel milk value chain with the aim of characterizing the chain actors and their roles, pinpoint value chain constraints and opportunities and finally suggest interventions required for improving the performance of camel milk subsector in the pastoral areas of eastern Ethiopia. A total of three hundred fifteen ke...
