This paper gives ideas and suggestions to initiate research to address year-round feeding systems, which is one of the major objectives of the Crop-Animal Systems Research Network (CASREN) Project. These ideas and suggestions are discussed in this paper and these are 1) participatory approaches t...

Implications of the external evaluation of the Livestock and Fish value chain approach for the Uganda program
Pig production has increasingly become an important activity, especially among smallholder farmers in Uganda in the past three decades as evidenced by a dramatic rise in pig population from 0.19 to 3.2 million. This is linked to the rise in demand for pork due to changes in preferences. Per capit...

A study to develop body weight prediction equations based on various body measurements was conducted in rural Kamuli district, Uganda. Body weight (kg) and body measurement data (cm) were collected from 411 pigs between 15 and 127 kg from both local and exotic (mainly crossbreds) pigs. Five body ...

While animal health constraints have been identified as a major limiting factor in smallholder pig production in Uganda, researchers and policy makers lack information on the relative incidence of diseases and their impacts on pig production. This study aimed to assess animal health and managemen...

Pig production is thriving in Uganda and the demand for pork is increasing, therefore offering potential for increased income from pig production and marketing. The consumers’ preferences determine and potentially drive this demand but are largely unknown in the context of Uganda. As part of a mu...

Characterisation of a benchmark site is a research activity, therefore the scientific method has to be applied. Within this context, Rey et al (1993) suggested seven general steps for the characterisation of market-oriented dairy systems in sub-Saharan Africa which are also applicable to the crop...
