| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in Arsi Zone Oromia Regional state in Tiyo and Tijo/Digelu which are the woredas of the zone, on pre slaughter hide and skin quality and management. Ten kebeles from each woredas were selected purposively and number of farmer in each kebeles was taken proportionally. One hundred households from each woredas were interviewed and animals belongs to each house hold were observed for hide and skin defect. In addition to this all butchery and 20 middle men from both woredas were interviewed about handling practice of the animal. Visual observation was also carried out on 2 intensive and 2 semi intensive farms in both woreda of study. Collected data were intered in SPSS version 20 soft ware for analyze. As result of this the major mechanical and pathological factors affecting hide and skin quality in study area were identified. Skin disease like ectoparacite, sheep pox, nodule, alopecia and swelling, were found and they account for about (56%), (13.7 %), (12%), (9.7%) and (8.6%) respectively. from skin disease ectoparacite was a serious problem mentioned by respondents. Of mechanical damage horn rake, whip lash, thorny plant and branding were identified and they account (40.6%), (38.9%), (17.7%) and (2.8%) respectively. Almost all the variables had not significant difference (P>0.05) among two woredas except horn rake which was more serious in Tiyo woreda. In addition to these housing and transportation system and feed shortage were also identified as factors reducing hide and skin quality in study site. Farmer use different method to manage pre slaughter factors affecting hide and skin quality. For skin disease and ectoparacite, (47.5%) of them by medicine from the pharmacy and treat their home, while some of them (31.4%) go to veterinary station and use traditional type of treatment to treat tick (21.1%). On the other hand farmer manage horn rake by tethering each animal in pen individually. Of 1677 cattle and 981 sheep under observation, 123(7.33%) cattle and 16(1.63) sheep were affected by mechanical damage, while 64(3.8%) and 15(1.5%) show sign of skin disease. So it is concluded that skin disease is more serious than mechanical factors, so it is recommended for farmer to take their animal to veterinary station for any skin disease.
