Description
Liuel Yizengaw Adnie and co-authors rank the main livestock diseases in a zone of Ethiopia using local knowledge. Their paper from 2026 covers East Gojjam, where farm animals are a chief source of income. Formal watch systems are thin there, so asking owners in a set way can fill the gap.
Ten group talks were held with one hundred animal owners across five districts in 2024. Ranking games, shared scoring, and seasonal charts were used to weigh each disease. For cattle, blackleg, foot and mouth disease, and lumpy skin disease topped the list. For sheep and goats, a lung disease and a pox led. Horse disease findings are also set out in the report.
