Through the solution Reproductive Platform, the objectives were to establish low-cost, low-infrastructure reproductive laboratories that would enhance the delivery of improved genetics for the main sheep and goat breeds and contribute to the transformation of their breeding programs in Ethiopia, reduce the risk of potentially unsuitable rams being used for breeding and provide the communities with a new opportunity for a business model. The network of labs composing the reproductive platform is fully operated by the regional research institutes in Ethiopia and ICARDA provided the required training and logistics for the labs to be fully operational with exclusive support from the national institutions.
