Raising livestock is a significant economic and cultural activity in Ethiopia. Animals are raised for a variety of agricultural products, including milk, meat, eggs, wool, and traction power, but because of their low productivity, livestock owners are unable to meet both their own needs and the demand for animal products from consumers, which adds to food scarcity and insecurity. Therefore, to meet the need for additional animal products, animal production must be improved more so than livestock production. Production systems are struggling with the importance of livestock production to economic progress. Therefore, intensification and modification of several naturally occurring reproductive processes for the advantage of livestock owners and customers have become crucial issues. Despite significant limitations, the use of biotechnologies like estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer can improve animal productivity and production by resolving issues with conventional and inefficient production techniques.Raising livestock is a significant economic and cultural activity in Ethiopia.
