Abstract
89 words
This study identified breed preferences, production performance
and selection criteria used in selecting dairy breeds in Zimbabwe.
A questionnaire based survey was conducted on 109 smallholder
dairy farmers in Zimbabwe and data were analyzed using SAS
version 9.1.3. Crossbreds were preferred by farmers compared
to pure indigenous and exotic dairy breeds. Milk yield and growth
rate were the prefered selection criteria. There was no
significant difference observed in the average milk yields/herd/
day in Guruve (8.98 ± 6.11), Marirangwe (9.54 ± 5.12) and
Nharira-Lancashire (8.20 ± 5.13) smallholder schemes.
