This study investigates how the Ethiopian dairy innovation system has functioned to support the development of the Ethiopian dairy sector and what have been the major technical, economic, and institutional constraints in the process. We used a coupled functional–structural analysis of innovation ...

Despite the fact that many smallholder farming systems in developing countries revolve around the interactions of crop and livestock enterprises, the modelling of these systems using combinations of detailed crop and livestock models is comparatively underdeveloped. A wide variety of separate cro...

In this paper, empirical maximum likelihood (ML) and weighted least squares (WLS) estimates of socio-economic factors influencing the demand for private veterinary services in the high potential agricultural areas of Kenya are derived using probit analysis. While ML estimates explain 65 and 56 pe...

Investigates Nitrogen and Phosphorus transfers in a crop - livestock system in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Estimates N and P removed from cropland during crop residue grazing and returned to the land through manure, and the contribution crop residues make to cattle diet during the dry season.

The demand for livestock products is growing fast in developing countries due to population growth, urbanization, and rising incomes. For example from 1990 to the year 2010, demands for meat and milk in developing countries were estimated to grow by 66 percent and 223 percent, respectively. In mo...

Information is needed on the biophysical and economic rationale for labour-demanding (and therefore, expensive) backyard animal rearing systems on smallholdings in the uplands of Java where livestock have been an integral part of highly intensive agriculture for centuries. The occurrence of high ...

To assess the level and spatial pattern of genetic diversity of the common dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius, we developed polymorphic microsatellite loci from partial genomic libraries enriched for microsatellite motifs. Ten dinucleotide polymorphic microsatellites were isolated and levels of g...
