Despite the large number of livestock in the woreda, the sector is characterized by low productivity. The lower productivity is attributed to high disease incidence and parasite burden, low genetic potential of indigenous breeds, inadequate management, poor nutrition and reproductive performance. Among these constraints, diseases have numerous influences on productivity and fertility of herds. The effect of livestock diseases could be expressed in terms of losses due to mortality and morbidity, loss of weight, slow down growth, poor fertility performance and decrease physical power.

Recently, SRS in general and Gurrebakaksa woreda, pastoral development office in particular is planned to implement a wide range project called “Dhaqo oo Dheefso”. It aims improving livestock production and productivity through disease control and prevention, introduction of improved livestock production system.
