Abstract
Dairying is one of the livestock production systems practiced in almost all over the world including Ethiopia, involving a vast number of small, medium, or large sized, subsistence or market-oriented farms. Pastoral communities are acutely aware of the nutritional value of milk. In pastoral area, milk from camels and goats, is the most beneficial for children’s overall health, strength and growth. In the wet season, milk consumed by pastoral children can account for 67% of the mean daily energy they require and 100 % of their protein requirements.
