Baltenweck, IsabelleHooton, N.Omore, Amos O.Romney, D.L.Staal, Steven J.[Dispositifs de partenariats et promotion de nouvelles politiques laitières: l’expérience du Smallholder Dairy Project au Kenya]Dispositifs de partenariats et promotion de nouvelles politiques laitières: l’expérience du Smallholder Dairy Project au Kenya

The subhumid and semi-arid zones of West Africa are one of the subregions reputed to hold Africa's greatest potential for expansion of animal agriculture. Within this region livestock are affected by tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis-a disease that severely constrains productivity, thus hampering...


Kamuanga, M.D'Ieteren, G.D.M.Tano, K.Mugalla, C.Pokou, K.Swallow, B.M.[Improving the productivity of crop-livestock systems under trypanosomosis risk in West Africa: Potentials and opportunities in the next decade]Improving the productivity of crop-livestock systems under trypanosomosis risk in West Africa: Potentials and opportunities in the next decade

The use of Laeucaena species in the African smallholder farming systems is reviewed. A wide range of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. cultivars from a wide range of seed sources have been in use principally for soil fertility amelioration, fuelwood and fodder. With the advent of the leucaena ...

Today, about 800 million people experience hunger and malnutrition. The major underlying factors include inadequate food supply due to inadequate production and distribution, and low incomes. animal agriculture is crucial to the enhancement of food security and sustainable agricultural Developmen...


Lebbie, S.H.B.[Livestock and food security in smallholder production systems in Africa: Beyond meat and milk]Livestock and food security in smallholder production systems in Africa: Beyond meat and milk

This paper reviews recent research, first to present a picture of coming trends in livestock product consumption and production in developing countries, in general, and second to derive some of the market implications of these for smallholders in the highlands. Evidence is also presented concerni...


Staal, Steven J.Jabbar, M.A.[Markets and livestock in the coming decades: Implications for smallholder highland producers]Markets and livestock in the coming decades: Implications for smallholder highland producers

Africa's demand for food and Development means added pressure on natural resources that are already threatened. There is therefore, and urgent need for technical innovations that will raise productivity of livestosk and crops without causing further environmental degradation. But technical innova...

Metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) of the stall-fed resources met half of the requirements of crossbred cows in the Central Ethiopian highlands. The average supply of ME and CP from stall-feeding supported a milk yield of 850 kg or 55 percent of the lactation yield. The additional M...

Overall performance of smallholder crossbred dairy herds was assessed by administering semi-structured questionnaires on 20 sample herds with crossbred and indigenous cattle in Degem. Reported average lactations yields of crossbreds were at least five times greater than that for indigenous cows; ...

A key characteristic of the provision of feed resources under staff feeding conditions in many smallholder systems is a high degree of variability in the types and quantities of feeds used. Striking seasonal patterns have been widely observed (e.g. Gatenby et al, 1989). However, their consequence...

Dairy cattle are an important component of farming systems in highland areas of East Africa where they are combined with food an cash crops. The farms are characterised by decreasing size and a small proportion of land used for forage production. Under such conditions only small herds can be main...
