BookletEthiopia | Availability and utilization of agroindustrial by-products as animal feed | 2018 2019

No results found.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. -
ProjectImproving Rural Livelihoods and the Environment Through the Integral Utilization of Residues of Treated Waste Water and Organic Solid Waste for the Production of Renewable Energy and Compost in Mafraq Governorate of Jordan - TCP/JOR/3602 2020

No results found.As the Syrian crisis continues to escalate, the influx of refugees in neighbouring countries places an growing burden on affected areas. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) determined that Jordan hosts around 620 000 registered refugees, while the Government has estimated that there is a total of 1.4 million refugees in the country. In Mafraq, the refugee population lives in distress, while the broader population is also affected by the refugee influx. In December 2019, there were 75 993 individuals and 17 655 families registered at the Zaatari refugee camp. Stakeholders in the Zaatari community continue to pursue the creation of job opportunities for residents, with a record 13 220 active work permits being reached in October 2019. Although job opportunities are traditionally dominated by the agriculture sector, the waste sector offers potential for the development of additional “green” jobs. In Jordan, the level of municipal solid waste has grown rapidly over the past two decades, while the influx of refugees has exponentially increased its rate of production. Much of the solid waste produced finds its way to landfills, most of which are classified as unsanitary dump sites. On top of the strain being placed on the waste management system, the influx of refugees has also driven an increased demand for energy. This TCP project was therefore designed to make use of waste in the Zaatari municipality in the creation of sustainable job opportunities that promote compost production for agricultural purposes and the generation of energy.
