Low-Cost, Low-Infrastructure Reproductive Platform to Nurture Community-based Breeding Programmes in EthiopiaPOVERTY REDUCTION, LIVELIHOODS & JOBSPartnersRegional Agricultural Research Institutes in Ministry of Agriculture, EthiopiaOutcomes§ First time ever in Africa, a network of reproductive hubs was established in proximity of the main sheep and goats breeding programs§ The low-infrastructure, mobile laboratories are operational delivering artificial insemination and other reproductive services .§ Researchers, vets and extension staff have received advanced, focused trainings on sheep and goat reproduction and reproductive biotechnologies.The CGIAR Research Program on Livestock thanks all donors & organizations which globally support its work through their contributions to the CGIAR Trust Fund. cgiar.org/fundersThis document is licensed for use under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence. June 2020Location and breeds of the six community-based breeding programs (CBBP) in EthiopiaContext• After successful establishment of pilot community-based  sheep and goat breeding programs in Ethiopia, the next step was to develop strategies to reach a  larger proportion of the sheep and goat populations• Solutions for wider dissemination of improved genetics  had to be efficient, low-cost and be built preferably on locally  accessible inputs Our innovative approachEstablish low-cost, low-infrastructure reproductive platform combining: • Low-cost synchronization: a simple protocol of 2 injections of a prostaglandin analogue (Enzaprost) 11 days apart achieved fertility levels of up to 89% in natural mating and up to 61% in artificial insemination.• Service delivery for ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis to accompany the synchronization protocol, to assess success of artificial insemination and to screen for reproductive pathologies• Low infrastructure artificial insemination protocols with fresh and cooled semenFuture steps • Gradual handover of the platform to the  National Animal Genetic Improvement Institute.• The reproductive platform presents several opportunities for public-private partnerships and business models in artificial insemination.• Development of similar reproductive platforms to support scaling of CBBPs in Tanzania and SudanMourad Rekik, ICARDAM.Rekik@cigar.orgGENETICSAbergelleMenzHorroDoyogenaBongaKonso45.4534.0744.9460.870102030405060701 2 3 4Conception rate (%)1.
