A formal survey was carried out from March 2021 to October 2021 in Yabello town and around area, Borana Zone of Oromia regional state using open and closed questionnaires. A semi structured questioner form was used to interview specific group of people about their habits, knowledge, and about milking and milk churning practices. Milking and churning were practiced in the study area using locally made resources. During the demonstration, the interviewed households stated that Okolee (calabash) and Gorfaa are used for milking and holding the collected items. According to the current study, cultural milk processing was solely the responsibility of females, and time spent processing dairy products was covered by women. Furthermore, traditional churning practices of most Ethiopian community have been adopting to give low yield butter per unit of sour milk and require high labor input. As a result, the currently implemented technology concisely explains the barrier of the community problem and finds a solution. The currently modified churning equipment is firmly attached to metal pillars that are 70 cm off the ground. At each churning cycle, it can handle about 25 liters of milk. So maintaining milk quality is enjoyable, and churning has evolved to be comfortable. The churning can revolve favorably because of the moderate height above the floor and the total amount of milk it able to hold at one time to agitating is auspicious to rotate. That is normally how it is mediated by human power in order to operate it. In addition, all members of the family, especially those who are disabled and children are welcome to participate. The present study sought to reduce the enormous workload placed on women. The main objective was to manipulating technologically improved manual milk churning with low effort in pastoral and agro-pastoral communities to produce high-quality butter.
