| dc.description | One of the major constraints for the very low production and productivity of livestock in Ethiopia is the poor quality and inadequate quantity of available feed. Agro-industrial by-products (AIBPs) can play an important role in meeting the widely prevalent feed shortage in the country. The AIBPs are usually less fibrous, rich in energy and/or protein contents. They have high digestibility and energy values compared with other classes of feed resources. The major AIBPs produced in Ethiopia include by-products from flour millings, sugar factories, edible oil processing factories, breweries, and abattoirs. These by-products play a vital role in the feeding of livestock mainly in urban and peri-urban livestock systems. The spatial and temporal availability of AIBPs in different parts of Ethiopia has not been quantified. Information on the utilization of such resources is also scanty. Data on availability of these resources is important for developing and using appropriate feeding strategies, improving livestock production and productivity, enhancing the efficiency of AIBPs utilization, decreasing burden on the environment and promoting technologies that further circular economy. This study was aimed at assessing the spatial and temporal availability of major AIBPs and their use as livestock feed. Information on storage and transport of these by-products has also been recorded with the aim to identify ‘hotspots’ at which the wastage takes place, and to suggest ways to reduce it. | |
