This document summarizes a study on feed resources for livestock in urban and peri-urban areas of Kampala, Uganda. The study found that the main constraint to smallholder livestock production is the lack of feed. Farmers rely on by-products and waste from crops and food as feed, but have limited knowledge of their nutritional properties. The study aimed to understand farmers' knowledge, identify available feed resources, and evaluate their nutritional quality. Key findings include the major feed resources used by farmers and their indigenous knowledge for judging nutritional quality. However, farmers prioritize availability and cost over quality. Recommendations focus on more sustainable coping strategies and training farmers on the importance of nutritional quality and feed formulation.

Distributions and conservation priorities for crop wild relatives of the Unit...CWRofUS
Our native crop wild relatives have proved useful as genetic resources in breeding more productive, nutritious, and resilient crops. Their utilization is expected only to increase with better information on the species and improving breeding tools, but may well be constrained by their limited representation in seedbanks and the ongoing loss of wild populations due to habitat modification, invasive species, climate change and other impacts. Urgent collecting and habitat conservation efforts for native crop genetic resources are therefore warranted. We present foundational information needed to guide this effort. An inventory of U.S. crop wild relatives has prioritized taxa related to a broad range of important food, forage and feed, medicinal, ornamental, and industrial crops. Utilizing occurrence data gathered from herbaria and genebanks, resulting potential distribution models are enabling the identification of hotspots of taxonomic diversity of wild relatives in the country, and a ‘gap analysis’ methodology is facilitating efforts to identify those taxa and geographic areas of particular conservation concern. Results indicate that a broad range of wild relative diversity remains to be collected. Numerous populations of high priority taxa could be actively managed in existing conservation areas, although many are distributed in areas without long-term habitat protection. We discuss the value of collaboration across agriculture and natural resources management organizations to better conserve our nation’s heritage of crop wild relatives.

Small-scale farming of Edible Insects & Potential Contributions to Community ...Thomas Weigel
This presentation was held at AIDF's Asia Food Security Summit 2014 in Jakarta. It takes a look at edible insect farming from a food and nutrition security perspective and Veterinarians without Borders' (VWB) work on insects in Laos.
Farming of edible insects has big potential to ease the double burden of poverty and malnutrition. In many countries people love insects, and farmed insects are an excellent source of valuable protein, fats, and micro-nutrients. Insect farming is easy to learn, requires minimal time and money, and provides food for families. Insect farming has also significant advantages over the collection of wild insects in terms of improved availability, accessibility, and utilization of insects.
Environmentally sustainable, insects have a much better feed conversion and produce significantly less greenhouse gases than conventional livestock. Moreover, the sales of insects and insect products can provide additional income for poor people.
VWB has launched 2 cricket farming projects in Central Laos, involving a total of 36 households in two provinces, working mostly with women household members.
VWB's action-research approach involves the support of farmers to improve family diets, income, and also value-added foods such as cricket noodles. VWB is also studying the impact of cricket farming on child and maternal nutrition.

In addition to the generally low quality of fresh and preserved forages due to relaxed management practices and unimproved forage seeds and planting material, there is seasonality in the quantity and quality of forage available. Most areas experience an acute shortage of supply during the dry season and the available forages during this period is of very poor quality. At present, the feeding costs of East Africa dairy farmers represent 60-70% of the total production cost of one litre of milk.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

urban areas in Uganda
Jan Erik Lindberg
C. Katongole, R. Lumu, L. Kasule,
J. Nambi-Kasozi, F. Bereeba, M.
Presto and E. Ivarsson
2. Background
Livestock keeping is increasing in Kampala
– Attributed to rapid population growth and
urbanization
Need to increase food production
– To improve food security
– To improve nutrition of rural and urban poor
Increasing demand for livestock products
3. Background
Lack of feed is the main constraint for
smallholder livestock production in Uganda
– Purchase of feeds is not an option
By-products from food crops and food waste
are potential feed resources
Exists locally
Limited knowledge on nutritional properties
4. Aim
To get more insight into farmers knowledge of the
nutritional quality of available feed resources.
To identify and nutritionally classify available feed
resources in peri-urban and urban areas of Kampala.
To produce a data-base with chemical composition
of selected feeds, and their predicted energy and
nutritive value.
5. Methodology
Stakeholders’ workshop
Held at Makerere University (July, 2011)
Attended by farmers, parish chiefs, extension
workers & local leaders
Discussions on project objectives, activity plan,
dissemination strategy, selection of project sites
(parishes) for data collection
6. Methodology
Focus group discussions (FGDs)
1 FGD per division (6 farmers, 1 extension workers
& 2 local leaders)
Questionnaire interviews
120 households (4 divisions)
Kawempe (32), Makindye (24), Nakawa (34), Rubaga (30)
Indigenous knowledge on nutritional quality
Available cattle, pig and chicken feed resources
7. Methodology
Collection of feed samples
Most commonly used feed resources in cattle, pig
and chicken production
Nutritional quality evaluation
Chemical composition, in vitro digestibility and
rumen degradability
8. Key findings
Constraints to livestock production
Constraint Rank

Diseases 2nd
High cost of feeds 3rd
High cost of drugs 4th
Space limitation 5th
Poor quality feeds 6th
Expensive labour 7th
Conflict with neighbours 8th
High cost of feed was ranked
highly by chicken farmers:
Chicken production depends on
concentrate feeds, which are
expensive.
As a cost-saving strategy
many mix their own feeds:
The feeds did not conform to
recommended nutrient levels.
• Lower in protein and energy
• Higher in fibre and ash
9. Key findings
Coping strategies to feed scarcity
Coping strategy Rank
Change feed resources based on
availability and cost
1st
Purchase feed ingredients in bulk 2nd
Use crop/food wastes 3rd
Reduce herd size 4th
Forages in open access lands 5th
Grow fodder 6th
Resort to free-roaming 7th
Strategies deal with
the constraint of feed
scarcity on a day-by-
day basis.
Strategies are not
sustainable.
10. Key findings
Major feed resources used
% of responses
Cattle Pigs Chickens
Banana peels 100 86.8 23.4
Elephant (Napier) grass 74.1 - -
Open access forages 43.1 23.7 10.1

Use of elephant grass
is affected by:
• Access to land
• Poor agronomic
practices
• Napier stunt disease
Left-over food is
vital for pig production
Concerns over
contamination risks
11. Key findings
Indigenous knowledge for judging nutritional quality
Cattle Pigs Chickens
Resistance to diseases yes yes yes
Rate of growth/body condition produced yes yes yes
Amount of feed taken in yes yes yes
Not too firm or watery faeces yes yes -
Extent to which a feed is liked by the animals yes - -
Amount of faeces produced yes - -
Litter size produced - yes -
Amount of lean on the carcass - yes -
Number of eggs laid - - yes
Number of eggs with broken shells - - yes
12. Key findings
Despite the indigenous
knowledge
Farmers put more importance on
availability and cost:
They perceived banana peels to be of low
nutritional quality, but they were the most
commonly used feed resource.
They were aware that adding banana
peels to chickens feeds compromises the
quality, but continue to use it in the feed.
They perceived brewer’s waste to be of
excellent nutritional quality, but it was not
used by many because of cost.
13. Recommendations
To ensure better and more efficient utilization of
available feed resources;
Encourage farmers to adopt coping strategies
that can deal with the challenge of feed
scarcity more sustainably.
Sensitize the farmers on the importance of
nutritional quality.
Training in feed formulation.
