A total of 180 individuals (feed processors=33, feed retailers=51, smallholder dairy producers=96) participated in the study. Because of improper harvesting and stacking, 91% of farmers encountered mold in roughage feeds. Most of the farmers provide light-moldy feeds to livestock by mixing with uncontaminated ones. About 67% and 33% of the interviewed farmers utilized extreme moldy feeds for firewood and damping respectively. Farmers perceived industrial effluent and leech to be as a safety risk to livestock water. All the interviewed farmers from Eastern Shoa are aware of industrial effluents as a problem for dairy production; and 66% and 34% of the respondents from Eastern and Western Shoa respectively identified leech to be a safety problem to livestock water. About 69% of the farmers used bucket for scooping from water bodies to exclude leech from being consumed by animals; and 50% of them treated animals with chopped tobacco and onion as indigenous knowledge. Feed processors=64%, feed retailers=82% and dairy producers=56% did not store their feed on raised floor indicating that there is probability of mold formation in stored feeds. About 67% of the feed processors, 73% feed retailers and 58% of the dairy producers stored concentrate feeds for shorter period of time (1 month).
