A survey involving 100 households was conducted in Adami Tulu district of Ethiopia to investigate the extent of crop residue production, utilization and socio-economic limitations facing their utilization for livestock feeding. The results indicated that although large amounts of crop residues arc annually produced and arc mainly used for livestock feeding, their full and efficient utilization was hindered partly by economic problems and partly by inadequate know-how of the farmers as to the handling and processing of the residues. Strengthening tic financial capabilities of farmers through credit system and training them in the proper methods of handling and processing of their residues are highly recommended.Key Words: Crop ResidueProducticnUtilizationConstraintLivestock FeedingAdami Tulu
