This is as an action research project which will be conducted in
the farming communities in Majiga and Chitsanzo Milk Bulking
Groups in Central Malawi. The aim of the research is to develop
feed technologies for improving dairy productivity; analyse
adoption process of the feeds and the associated costs of the
technologies. The feeding technologies will be promoted along
other improved technologies such as breeding, housing and
disease control. The milk and feeds value chain will be analysed
and used to improve production and marketing of dairy products.
Plans for up-scaling the feed technologies with farmers and
the feed industry players will also be developed. The study will
be conducted as part of a training and research undertaking for
two MSc. students at Bunda College of Agriculture.
