The overall objective of this project is to strengthen the Ethiopian dairy development through transfer of Finnish know-how in dairy genetic evaluation and new breeding tools and thereby to build the institutional capacity of the National Artificial Insemination center (NAIC) and train human resources. The proposed project will identify, improve and make available locally adapted and more productive dairy cattle genotypes to resource poor dairy farmers in Ethiopia. Thereby it improves livestock productivity, food security and income of the small scale dairy farmers. This allows fewer but more productive livestock (cows) to be kept, thus directly reduce the stress on the natural resource base, thereby combating climate change and reducing threats to environmental health. By increasing productivity per animal, the project will contribute to the growth of environmentally sound dairy development scheme in Ethiopia.
