The document describes a study that tested a conceptual framework for assessing the impact of innovation platforms (IPs) established by the MilkIT project in Tanzania. Data was collected through surveys of IP members and non-members on structure, conduct, and performance variables. Regression analysis found that increased communication quality and information sources related to improved feed availability and access to inputs. Other factors like herd size, land size, and feed storage also influenced performance. While IP members generally had better outcomes, differences from non-members were not statistically significant based on the sample. The framework provided initial insights but could be improved with a larger sample size.

ILRI awards over the years: The Seré Legacy

ILRI

The document lists various awards received by ILRI and its collaborators from 2003 to 2011 for their work in livestock research. Some of the notable awards include the 2003 CGIAR Outstanding Scientific Article Award for the first continent-wide study of cattle genetic diversity in Africa, the 2004 CGIAR Outstanding Communications Award for a smallholder dairy project in Kenya, and the 2010 World Food Prize received by a former ILRI board member for her work with Heifer International to fight hunger. The awards recognized individuals and teams for their innovative research, communication efforts, and contributions to improving livestock health and livelihoods, especially in Africa.

Competitive smallholder livestock in Botswana: Results of a livestock value c...

ILRI

The smallholder livestock sector in Botswana faces a challenge in exploiting the growing national and regional demand for meat, as well as preferential access to the EU market. The incentives for value addition in pursuit of these markets appear to be limited. There is also limited evidence of innovation in the value chain, particularly for small stock. This poster gives details from a study that explores the existing value chains in which livestock products are produced and traded.

Ethiopian Agriculture Portal

ILRI

The Ethiopian Agriculture Portal (EAP) is a web-based gateway that aims to improve access to agricultural information resources for Ethiopia. The EAP provides information from national and international sources, including documents otherwise limited in distribution. It links to partners in agricultural research and development and shares status updates on agriculture projects. The portal targets extension experts, researchers, policymakers, NGOs, students, private sector actors, and cooperatives to strengthen Ethiopian agriculture.

CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish: More meat, milk and fish, by an...

ILRI

This document discusses improving access to meat, milk, and fish for poor people. It proposes a solution-driven, whole value chain approach to research and development focusing on a few select livestock and fish value chains. The goal is to demonstrate impact and work with partners to design integrated interventions and scale up benefits for the poor. Key opportunities identified are that animal-source foods are highly valuable globally and critical for nutrition, and meeting growing demand can improve livelihoods for many small-scale farmers and fishers.

Organizing and managing livestock content for mobile dissemination

ILRI

This document discusses a mixed methods research study conducted as part of the EcoZD project in Southeast Asia. The study aimed to understand risk factors for zoonotic disease transmission at the animal-human interface in Cambodia. Quantitative methods like questionnaires and biological sampling were used to investigate associations, while qualitative methods like focus groups and participatory rural appraisals provided socio-economic context. Preliminary results from the quantitative analysis found no correlation between animal and human pathogens, and identified factors like duck/fish consumption, eating sick animals, and vegetables from surface water as potential risks. The qualitative data helped make sense of these findings and capture the complexity of people's sickness explanations and changing animal raising practices.

ILRI

The document discusses plans for a project that aims to identify a diverse group of smallholder dairy farmers in Tanzania to participate in collecting data on breed composition, productivity, and fitness in order to develop mechanisms for encouraging continued participation and adoption of improved management practices. Criteria for selecting farmers include random selection across study sites, owning a cow that recently had a calf or is pregnant, and a willingness to participate. Data to be collected includes reproductive performance, health, production, animal health, welfare, inputs, and enterprise characteristics.

Communications and knowledge management approaches and tools @ ILRI

ILRI

The document summarizes communications and knowledge management approaches at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). It discusses ILRI's principles of open knowledge sharing, communicating through multiple formats for multiple purposes, and emphasizing partnerships. It also outlines ILRI's use of social media, events, reports, and other tools to openly communicate research and support knowledge collecting, connecting, and conversing.

Determinants of migration and environmental spillovers of IBLI

ILRI

This document summarizes research on the environmental impacts of Index-Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) in pastoral areas. The research uses GPS collars and surveys to track how pastoralists' livestock movement patterns change in the presence of IBLI. Preliminary findings show that IBLI leads to increased herd sizes and more concentrated, intensive livestock grazing near water points. However, larger studies are still needed to fully understand the environmental effects as IBLI programs scale up.

Factors affecting profit efficiency among smallholder beef producers in Botswana

ILRI

- The study examines profit efficiency among smallholder beef producers in Botswana using farm-level survey data from three districts. - Stochastic frontier analysis is used to estimate profit frontiers and measure technical inefficiency, finding average efficiency levels of 0.58, 0.56, 0.62 and 0.68 for the whole sample and different herd size groups. - Key determinants of inefficiency include education level, distance to market, herd size, access to information, and income from crop production, indicating opportunities to improve profitability through policy and practice changes.
