In Kenya, the vast majority of dairy farms are owned and run by smallholder farmers. These farms are estimated to produce 75-90 percent of the milk sold in Kenya (Mbogoh, 1984a, b); about 65 percent of dairy cattle in the smallholder farms are stall-fed for the greater part of the year (Gitau et ...

Kenya has been self-sufficient in dairy products until recently. Early in 1992, however, shortages of dairy products began to occur, particularly in the fresh milk market. Price decontrol of dairy products, among other policy changes, was implemented in May 1992 to improve producer prices and sti...

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 (...
