To know the present condition of livestock market, Kellem Wollega Zonde has prepared phone call based consultation with 10 entrepreneurs and 50 farmers of 3 districts in the livestock subdivision using organized surveys during September 10-15 2020. Around 90% would go to nearby hospitals directly if any family member seems to be infected. This figure is alarming and reflected that they only know the disease outbreak but they are not internalizing its pandemic situation. In this situation, Government and other agencies should be concentrated on multipurpose cash support for the COVID-19 affected vulnerable groups, so that they can buy their necessities from their local market for retrieving local economy which will also create an equilibrium condition in market. On the other hand, local administration should increase their strict monitoring for availability of daily necessities in the market and for controlling annoying situations in the market. Subsequently the COVID 19 occurrence began in early March in study area; the Government has lockdown people's movement to control the spread of the disease.

According to a recent survey published by BRAC, though the lockdown is useful to prevent the spread of disease as it forces people to stay at home, the average household income falls 70% caused by sudden shutdown. As all of the livelihood sectors fall into a serious implication, the livestock sector is no exception. The livestock market is also facing continuous loss. Livestock farmers face severe pressure from supply and market disruptions, since animals need to eat every day and production cycles are short daily for dairy and 3-4 months’ Cycle for bull fattening.
