Adoption and intensity of artificial insemination technology for dairy cattle in Ethiopia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The use of artificial insemination (AI) has become a transformative technology to improve the reproductive efficiency of cattle. Nonetheless, the adoption and intensity of AI utilization among dairy farmers remain minimal. This study aimed to identify the key factors influencing the adoption and intensity of artificial insemination (AI) technology in dairy cattle production in the Bedele district of Ethiopia. We measured the intensity of AI adoption by the number of calves born through AI. Data from 162 household heads were analyzed using the Double Hurdle model. The probit regression analysis indicated that education level, non-farm income, landholding size, and experience with AI all affect the use of AI technology. Moreover, access to credit and consistent engagement with extension services substantially enhanced the probability of adopting AI in dairy cattle. While gender, age, proximity to the AI center, and dependency ratio adversely and significantly influence the adoption decision. The truncated regression results showed that the amount of AI use is positively related to the education level of household heads, the size of the landholding, experience with AI, the availability of credit, and extension contact. The extent of AI technology utilization in dairy cattle is adversely and significantly influenced by factors such as age and proximity to the AI center. The government is encouraged to improve education, support effective use of artificial insemination (AI), promote non-farm income activities, strengthen extension services, upgrade infrastructure, empower female-headed households, and enhance access to affordable credit within the study area.
