Introduc)on
• Milk
September
2014
produc)on
in
Senegal
is
dominated
by
the
use
of
indigenous
breeds
with
low
milk
produc)on
poten)al
(around
0.7
–
1.5
litres
per
cow
per
day).
• Ar)ficial
insemina)on
(AI)
is
being
used
to
create
indigenous
and
exo)c
cross-­‐bred
caVle
with
higher
milk
poten)al.
• To
date,
however,
the
use
of
AI
and
cross-­‐bred
or
exo)c
caVle
remains
low.
Materials
and
methods
The
aim
of
this
study
is
to
iden)fy
household
level
characteris)cs
that
could
have
influenced
the
uptake
of
AI
and
use
of
cross-­‐bred
or
exo)c
caVle
breeds
in
the
last
5
years.
• Baseline
survey
data
collected
as
part
of
larger
research
project
‘Senegal
Dairy
logis)c
regression
analyses
were
performed
to
iden)fy
poten)al
backwards

was
used
to
iden)fy
significant
variables
(P<0.05).

was
used.
• Separate
characteris)cs.
• A
• The
main
drivers
of
AI
service
usage
and
cross-­‐bred
or
exo)c
caVle
rearing
were
farmers’
cultural
values
and
wealth.
• Educa)on,
labour
availability,
herd
size
and
experience
did
not
affect
use
of
AI
or
cross-­‐bred
or
exo)c
caVle
breed
rearing.
In
order
to
scale-­‐up
adop)on
of
these
technologies,
farmers’
socio-­‐economic
characteris)cs
should
be
carefully
considered.
