“…Based on the size of the population, 10 kebeles and 118 HHs from Haramaya, 12 kebeles and 165 HHs from Meta, and 14 kebeles and 139 HHs from Grawa were selected for the sample of kebeles and homes (HHS). A lottery technique was used to choose the respondents, with villages being selected at random [ 23 ]. Last but not least, research subjects took samples from kebeles in the three woredas; a total of 422 study samples were chosen utilizing a systematic sampling technique.…”

Background. Despite the enormous advantages of early pregnancy-related problem diagnosis and therapy during prenatal care visits, not all pregnant women begin antenatal care at the proper time. Thus, this study aims to identify factors associated with missed opportunities for antenatal care service utilization among reproductive-age women in Eastern Ethiopia. Methods. A mixed methods study design (quantitative and qualitative) was conducted in Grawa, Meta, and Haramaya woredas from September 5 to December 5, 2019. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. A multivariable logistic regression analysis model was used to identify the predictors. Statistical software programs based on ATLAS.ti version 8.2 was were used to conduct the thematic analysis of the qualitative data. Results. Overall, missed opportunities for antenatal care were 15.4% of 95% (12.1, 19.1%). Factors such as maternal age being 15–24 ( AOR = 6.9 , 95% CI: 2.89–8.81); having a college education ( AOR = 0.02 , 95% CI: 0.001, 0.42), elementary ( AOR = 0.05 , 95% CI: 0.002, 0.98), and secondary education ( AOR = 0.04 , 95% CI: 0.001, 0.88); having five and more parity ( AOR = 0.08 , 95% CI: 0.01, 0.75); three visits ( AOR = 0.10 , 95% CI: 0.02, 0.71); those in the first trimester ( AOR = 0.02 , 95% CI: 0.001, 0.35) and the second trimester ( AOR = 0.01 , 95% CI: 0.001, 0.26); and get information from a health facility (AOR =0.09, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.67) and traditional birth attendance ( AOR = 0.02 , 95% CI: 0.001, 0.74) were factors statistically associated with outcome variables. Conclusions. According to this report, relatively high proportions of pregnant women experienced missed opportunities in antenatal care follow-up. Factors such as maternal age, education, parity, frequency, timing, and media access were statistically significantly correlated with missed antenatal care follow-up. Therefore, all stakeholders should emphasize advocating for and enhancing the benefits of antenatal care; this in turn plays a crucial role in increasing the follow-up of clients for these crucial services. Moreover, health policy implementers need to coordinate their tracking of pregnant women who missed their antenatal care session.

“…To indicate the untapped investment opportunities in this sector, only 50% of Hides and skins potential are being utilized by industries (MoT, 2016). The study (Dinaol et al, 2018) identified that in Eastern Ethiopia HSs have price differences and fluctuations at a time and in different locations, and the market price of skin ranged from 5-10 ETB/skin in 2017. According to the study (Kedir, 2016) in the Somali Region, the average price of hides was 75 ETB/piece and skin 22 ETB/skin in 2015 and in the same years, Amistu and Feleke (2017) identified that the average price of raw hides in Wolaita 2016 Zone varied from 100-120 ETB/piece, sheep skin 50-60, and goat skin 40-50 ETB/skin.…”

Ethiopia is the 5th largest livestock producer in the world and ranks first in Africa and the country is home to millions of livestock population that has the potential to produce hides and skins. the study aimed to analyze the status and outlook of hides and skins (HSs) production and marketing in Ethiopia. The study used secondary data and triangulated using KII and FGD, and conducted analysis using different forecasting techniques. Hides production increased by 4.94% annually between 2005/06 and 2021/22. Smallholder HSs sales rate declined while HSs home utilization rate increased between 2008/09 and 2021/22, these might be due to poor HSs quality and marking problems. These suggest that preparing a livestock management training manual and incorporating it into the existing extension package, and linking actors with markets are crucial. From 2002/03-2021/22, the volume of HSs, and leather and leather product (LLP) exports was volatile but reduced from 10.55 to 2.24 thousand MT, and the income reduced from USD 52.22 to 33.2 million. The volume of exports reduced by 43.47% from 2012/13 to 2021/22; this could be the result of the low quality of HSs, and government policy led to low production of tanners and manufacturers to supply to the export market therefore, maintaining the quality of HSs starting from livestock production, slaughter, and post-slaughter through extension service, and revising policies are important. Despite Ethiopia has opportunity for livestock availability, government support of the leather sector, and high demand for HSs in the international market, the leather sector faces production, marketing, and policy challenges. With these challenges, HSs production will continue and increase, while the sales rate will decrease and the utilization rate will continue but never increase for the next ten years. The HS and LLP export will also continue, but never increase in these years.

The research was conducted to study physical parameters and histological structural patterns based on the coat color of Black Bengal goat skins. Five hundred skins were randomly selected, and measured using scientific instruments and the Haematoxylin-Eosin staining method was used for histological study. Black coat color skin was found the highest (58%), the mean weight, length, and width of Black Bengal goat skin was 998.80 gm, 29.24, and 20.91 cm, respectively but there were no significant differences among the groups. The mean thickness of the skin was 1.97, 1.43, and 1.96 mm in the butt, bell, and shoulder regions, respectively, and significantly different between the groups in all categories. All slaughtered goats were flayed using the “Muchki” (Hoisting and fisting) method. The average flay cut length, depth, and mechanical and parasitic damages were 20.2 mm, 1.50 mm, 6.11, and 1.50 %, respectively. No significant difference (p > 0.05) was found in inedible fleshing by-products, but significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in trimming by-products production and salt required for curing. Salted skins were preserved for an average of 3.5 days. Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, erector pili muscles, collagen fibers, and fiber bundles were more regular in the butt region than shoulder and belly regions in the black, brown, white, and mixed coat color of Black Bengal goat skins.
