Large increases in demand for milk and dairy products projected for the next 25 years represent exciting market opportunities for smallholders in eastern Africa. With the exception of Kenya, traditional cattle production systems based on indigenous breeds dominate milk production in the region, y...

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...

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 (...

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. ...
