Omore, Amos O.Staal, Steven J.Thorpe, W.R.[The role of membership organizations and the gap they fill in private veterinary services delivery]The role of membership organizations and the gap they fill in private veterinary services delivery

The use of farmer-recall in field data collection typically allows for relatively quick and low-cost information gathering. Such data can often be gathered using a simple cross-sectional survey, in many cases requiring only a single farm visit. In return, however, there may be an increase in meas...


Staal, Steven J.Omore, Amos O.[Use of farmer recall versus direct measurement in gathering lactation data: Lessons from Kenyan smallholder dairy systems]Use of farmer recall versus direct measurement in gathering lactation data: Lessons from Kenyan smallholder dairy systems

In European dairy herds lactation curves are conventionally described by a gamma function such as that of Wood (1969). High yields in early lactation mean that more frequent calving leads to increased annual milk production (AMP) per cow. Thus, the optimum calving interval in the UK is 365 days (...


Tanner, J.C.McCarthy, N.A.Omore, Amos O.[Why shorten calving intervals on smallholder dairy farms in East Africa?]Why shorten calving intervals on smallholder dairy farms in East Africa?

Food safety standards require monitoring from production-to-consumption. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) process, recommended by FAO/WHO, is now a widely accepted methodology in risk analysis for industrially processed foods. HACCP identifies the points in a process that are h...

Despite policies to discourage them, informal milk markets account for over 80% of milk sales in most sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Informal milk market agents include farmer dairy co-operatives, small traders using bicycles and public or private transport and small retail outlets, such as...

Small ruminants play an important, but often underestimated, role in the livelihoods of resource-poor farmers in Kenya. Besides being an important source of protein and immediate cash, they also have a variety socio-cultural values. Their importance in mixed crop-livestock systems in Kenya is exp...

This paper describes specific dairy marketing studies in Kenya, Ghana and Tanzania aimed at assessing public health risks from informally marketed milk and examines the economic trade-offs that policy makers should consider. Preliminary results from Kenya are presented and recommendations on cost...

This paper reviews current thinking on the role of informal agribusiness in pro-poor development, and reports on the example of a recent dairy development project (the Smallholder Dairy Project) in Kenya. The project featured collaborative and participatory research, along with training and certi...

FAO 2003 data indicate that Africa imported over 5.6 million tonnes liquid milk equivalent worth about US$ 1.8 billion or 29% of the world dairy import trade. Part of this demand-supply gap for value added dairy products could be filled by processed dairy products from within the African region. ...
