Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050: Business models along the cattle dairy value chain in Ethiopia.
The FAO partnered with the Ethiopian Society of Animal Production (ESAP) to understand and document the various business models along the cattle dairy value chain nodes in Ada’a and Sululta districts. Dairy businesses are highly heterogeneous in Ethiopia and, even though most are profitable, milk production, marketing, service, input, and other support are not well organized and integrated. Investments to make the dairy value chain more effective should target more institutional than the technical dimensions, which entails a novel approach to veterinary and animal production services.

Over the past ten months, 21.29 million doses of animal vaccines have been exported.
The National Institute of Animal Health of Ethiopia said it has exported 21.29 million doses of vaccines in the past ten months.
As a result, the institute earned $ 800,000 by exporting its vaccines to neighboring 26 other African countries. Compared to the same period last year, remittances were lower in 2013 and more than $ 250,000 this year. Various African countries have also applied for a $ 1 million vaccine in the next four months.
Ato Mesfin Getachew, director of procurement and sales at the National Institute of Animal Health, said that a total of 15 million doses of animal vaccines have been ordered. "Not to mention the high demand from Niger in particular, but also We have been supplying Niger for the past three years, " he said.

Mastitis reduces the milk yield of individual infected cows and the profit potential of the entire dairy operation. A study published in 2015 showed the cost per case of clinical mastitis in the first 30 days of lactation is $444.
Breakdown of costs for clinical mastitis:
Milk production loss: 31%
Veterinary fees and drug costs: 24%
Loss due to discarded milk: 18%
Cost due to excess labor demand: 4%
Loss due to premature culling: 23%
Let's take a closer look at each of these costs and consider the implications for your dairy:
Production losses
Reduced milk production is the highest cost linked to a mastitis case. However, the amount of loss depends on several factors. For example, a first-lactation cow with mastitis will have an average milk yield loss of 0–9%, while second- or later-lactation cows can experience higher yield losses. Milk production losses can also vary by breed, herd size, and region.
