Population growth
Livestock systems are changing
Climate changeGlobal trade

Intensification
Livestock systems are intensifyingPotential benefits for smallholders but
also potential risks
Intensification = more feed per animal

“Graduated upgrading” of livestock systems

“A fodder project is a non-starter .....”
Feed is a component of a larger system– Biophysical niches for particular feed
interventions – the growth factor– Input delivery – the push factor– Markets – the pull factor– Other competing livelihood options – the
competition factor– Institutional environment – the human
factor

Working out what is there – feed assessment
Assessments at various scales– National– Village– Household

Production niches
Working out what the feeding constraint is in given situation– Absolute scarcity– Lack of N– Lack of digestible feed– Seasonal deficits
Working out what feeding interventions would help

Mieso:
“Some farmers sold cattle fattened by the improved forages for more than Birr 9000 as compared to Birr 4000 to 5000 per head without the forages….”
