Inadequate nutrition and helminthiasis were among the important constraints to smallscale dairy production identified in a 4-country survey among traditional dairy producers. Consequently, multi-locational trials to study helminth control and supplementary feeding to grazing cattle are being impl...

Dairy response to feed supplementation and helminth control in indigenous cattle in traditional systems in West Africa: A case study from Nigeria
Peri-urban dairy producers in West Africa face major production constraints including inadequate and poor quality feeds. In view of the high cost of traditional supplementary feeds such as oilseed cakes, the production of forage, especially legumes, is increasingly being advocated. However, it ha...

Profitability of forage production in smallholder peri-urban dairy production systems
Rapid population growth (from 498 million in 1990 to 1.2 billion by 2025) and urbanization (from 2.7:1 to 5.1 rural to urban) in sub-Saharan Africa will profoundly influence the demand for food including milk and other dairy products. Since West Africa accounts for over 42 percent of SSA populati...
This document is based on the deliberations and outputs of two ILCA in-house workshops held in 1992, and of numerous individual contributions by ILCA scientists. This work has similarities with the ILCA project on smallholder market-oriented dairying. Factors influencing development of market-ori...
