Somali region state is located in the South East parts of Ethiopia and it is the second largest region
among the nine regions that are found in the country. The society lives in a very fragile environment, that
deficits in moisture, high ambient temperature, with extremely sandy and acidic soils that are not used for normal
crop production. The Somali Regional States (SRS) is characterized by pastoral and agro-pastoral livestock
production system and the livelihood of the society is entirely depending on from livestock and livestock
products. The families live from the milk of their herds, the meat of animals, which is occasionally slaughtered
during wholly days, grain and other food bought with money earned from the sale of small ruminants and animal
products. The Somali Region is crossed by different rivers flowing in to Somali Region towards the Somali
Republic that can be used for irrigation. The various types of livestock population that are found in the different
area of the region is clearly described on (Table 1). Hence, the region has numerous problems and constraints
that are manifested by natural, human as well as topographic factors are the bottle neck for livestock
development in the region.
