Presented by Monica Olala
The objectives were:
- To minimize recurrent losses in livestock as a result of feed shortage;
- To improve forage production and conservation for sustainable livestock production and productivity.
A case study of Lugari District showed that:
- Quality pasture establishment and production for hay is a key factor in sustainable livestock production and productivity.
- Pasture bulking for seed for propagation and sale was viewed as the most practical way to upscale fodder production in this community.
- Individual hay bank;
- Conservation of excess feeds ensure that pastoralists have sufficient feed to offer their livestock . - Maize stovers are ground after the harvest, packed into bags and stored.
One of the lessons learnt was that a menu of technologies should be presented to communities/farmers.
