The three sub-cities (Akaki Kality, Bole, and Yeka) were selected purposefully based on their high numbers of dairy cattle and milk potential, and six representative districts were selected (two districts per sub-city) based on the above-mentioned criteria. A total of 182 dairy farms (75 small and 107 medium-scale) were recruited and interviewed face-to-face using a semi-structured questionnaire. To explore further information, six focus group discussions and six key informant interviews were conducted. A total of 48 frozen semen samples were collected from the center and AI technicians to evaluate the quality of the semen. The data was analyzed using SPSS, version 20 software.en-USThesis
