RESEARCH INTREST

Since Ethiopia is rich in livestock resources, I am very much interested in food value chain in agriculture for sustainable agricultural development. “It is estimated that Ethiopia possesses about 62.5 million cattle, 31 million sheep, and 30 million goats. However, a large percentage of the population continues to be affected by several acute and chronic diseases. A major factor that creates this constraint is the lack of skilled man power for the investigation of infectious and non-infectious diseases. Therefore, I am especially interested on investigating major livestock diseases that reduce productivity of livestock. I wish to address the major constraint of livestock diseases using the ‘One Health Approach’ concept.
