Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in Africa, but the productivity of animals is poor. Annual livestock product growth is below the demand that is needed to feed the growing population. Carefully formulated policy that covers the whole livestock sub-sector or that deals with a single issue like livestock breeding will have a profound effect on development. There are a number of breeding options that could be employed. From experience of other countries with good example of livestock development, a combination of different breedinge techniques based on economic and resource realities are recommended. Since livestock breeding is a long term investment, policy based on clearly defined objectives is highly needed. Some steps that could be taken during the formulation of breeding policy are suggested.
