Wijk, Mark T. vanTavenner, KatieFraval, SimonHammond, JamesBaltenweck, IsabelleTeufel, NilsKihoro, EstherHaan, Nicoline C. deEtten, Jacob vanSteinke, J.Baines, D.Carpena, P.Skirrow, T.Rosenstock, Todd S.Lamanna, C.Ng'endo, M.Chesterman, SabrinaNamoi, N.Manda, L.[Intensifying inequality? Gendered trends in commercializing and diversifying smallholder farming systems in East Africa]Intensifying inequality? Gendered trends in commercializing and diversifying smallholder farming systems in East Africa

While there is a general consensus that using dairy technologies, such as improved breeds of dairy cows, can substantially increase farm productivity and income, adoption of such technologies has been generally low in developing countries. The underlying reasons for non-adoption of beneficial tec...

Goats, “the poor man’s cow”, provide very important genetic resources that can be exploited for continued improvements of the livelihoods of poor livestock keepers in the semi-arid tropics. This study presents the evaluation of the economic values of goat genetic resources (GGRs) in terms of the ...


Omondi, Immaculate A.Baltenweck, IsabelleDrucker, A.G.Obare, G.A.Zander, K.K.[Valuing goat genetic resources: a pro-poor growth strategy in the Kenyan semi-arid tropics]Valuing goat genetic resources: a pro-poor growth strategy in the Kenyan semi-arid tropics

Animal milk is an important contributor to women’s dietary diversity, especially among pastoral communities where access to diverse diets is limited. While there have been numerous large-scale milk development projects in East Africa, few examples of propoor milk collective action projects exist ...


Mishkin, K.Raskind, I.Domínguez Salas, PaulaBaltenweck, IsabelleOmore, Amos O.Girard, Webb A.[The effect of participation in a pro-poor dairy development project on milk consumption among reproductive age women in rural Tanzania]The effect of participation in a pro-poor dairy development project on milk consumption among reproductive age women in rural Tanzania

Market access measures employed by economists and spatial analysts may not adequately capture local market or product-specific variation. Analysis is conducted on the effects of market access on two commodities in the Kenyan highlands: milk and bean seeds. Both simple and composite measures of ma...

Sheep, recognised as one of the important livestock species especially in the semi-arid tropics with high genetic resource potentials, can be exploited through sustainable utilization in order to improve livestock keepers’ livelihoods. This study presents the evaluation of the economic values of ...

High levels of inbreeding in East African dairy cattle are a potential concern because of use of a limited range of imported germplasm coupled with strong selection, especially by disease, and sparse performance recording. To address this, genetic relationships and breed composition in an admixed...


Gorbach, D.M.Makgahlela, M.L.Reecy, J.M.Kemp, Stephen J.Baltenweck, IsabelleOuma, R.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMarshall, KarenMurdoch, B.Moore, S.Rothschild, Max F.[Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya]Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya

The integrated food supply chains have emerged as the fastest growing and widely visible market phenomenon. Yet in most developing countries, small scale milk market agents and chains supplying fresh milk and traditionally processing dairy products play a major role. They are the key outlets for ...
