背景：动物生产是提高人类生活水平的重要工具，是埃塞俄比亚农业发展的支柱。这个国家以其高牲畜潜力而闻名，但是由于各种阻碍因素，它没有得到很好的利用。
目的：本研究的目的是评估与动物健康和生产相关的关键问题。
方法：评估是在东Wollega地区的三个有目的地选择的地区进行的，也就是GiddaAyana,SibuSir和JimmaArjo通过使用精心设计和结构化的问卷调查。
结果：在研究期间，从GiddaAyana地区的动物所有者中抽取了200、145和165名受访者，锡布陛下和JimmaArjo,分别。其中,约97.89%,95.68%和94.9%在GiddaAyana实行广泛的管理，JimmaArjo和Sibu陛下,分别。GiddaAyana的大多数受访者（98.1％），JimmaArjo（97.21％）和SibuSir（98.9％）使用天然牧场。为了养牛，GiddaAyana使用了不受控制的自然交配（90.79％），JimmaArjo（86.3%）和思部陛下（95.69%）。还评估了动物健康和生产的主要制约因素。因此，GiddaAyana缺乏足够的动物生产和健康专家（27.33％），JimmaArjo（29.36％）和SibuSire（31.59％）被记录，而GiddaAyana缺乏可持续和结构化的现代牲畜市场(25.94%)，JimmaArjo（21.31%）和思部陛下（19.80%）。
结论：家畜需要改善动物健康，管理系统和育种方法。这项研究揭示了与动物健康和生产有关的关键问题，如不良的管理制度和育种方法，有限的兽医服务和现代牲畜市场。因此，增加兽医服务的覆盖面是必不可少的，动物推广服务和动物饲料的替代来源。
BACKGROUND: Animal production is an important tool for improving the living standard of humans and is the backbone of Ethiopia\'s agricultural development. The country is known for its high livestock potential, but it is not well exploited due to various hindering factors.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to assess the key issues related to animal health and production.
METHODS: The evaluation was carried out in three purposively selected districts of East Wollega zone, namely Gidda Ayana, Sibu Sire and Jimma Arjo by using well-designed and structured questionnaire surveys.
RESULTS: During the study period, 200, 145 and 165 respondents were sampled from the animal owners in the districts of Gidda Ayana, Sibu Sire and Jimma Arjo, respectively. Of these, about 97.89%, 95.68% and 94.9% practice extensive management in Gidda Ayana, Jimma Arjo and Sibu Sire, respectively. The majority of respondents in Gidda Ayana (98.1%), Jimma Arjo (97.21%) and Sibu Sire (98.9%) use natural pastures. For cattle breeding, uncontrolled natural mating is used in Gidda Ayana (90.79%), Jimma Arjo (86.3%) and Sibu Sire (95.69%). The major constraints of animal health and production were also assessed. Accordingly, a lack of access to adequate animal production and health expert in Gidda Ayana (27.33%), Jimma Arjo (29.36%) and Sibu Sire (31.59%) was recorded, whereas the lack of sustainable and structured modern livestock market was observed in Gidda Ayana (25.94%), Jimma Arjo (21.31%) and Sibu Sire (19.80%).
CONCLUSIONS: Livestock need improved animal health, management systems and breeding methods. The study revealed key issues related to animal health and production, such as poor management systems and breeding methods, limited coverage of veterinary services and a modern livestock market. Thus, it is indispensable to increase the coverage of veterinary services, animal extension services and alternative sources of animal feed.
