11. Potential livestock value chain
interventions
• On farm
– Animal production and productivity
– Fodder/feed production
• Input supply/service delivery
• Processing/marketing

12. ON FARM PRODUCTION
INTERVENTIONS

13. Animal production/productivity
• Better performing animals - local, exotic
breeds and crosses
• Increase in number of animals/farm with help
of credit, especially for specialized farmers
• Improved animal husbandry

14. Local breeds

15. Increased business scale

16. Improved animal husbandry
• Housing (milk barns, shading, cages, hives)
• Feeding (base plus supplementary feeding)
• Pest/disease/waste management

17. Housing

18. Feeding

19. Pest/disease and waste management

20. On farm fodder production
• Harvesting/preparation of crop residues
• Planted fodder species
• Grazing area/pasture improvement

21. Crop residues

22. Crop residue treatment/conservation

23. Planted fodder crops

24. Grazing area development

25. INPUT PRODUCTINON/SUPPLY and
SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMS
INTERVENTIONS

26. Potential interventions
• Alternative, specialized farm/community based
agricultural input production
• Alternative service delivery systems for health
and AI, including use of advanced drugs and
equipment
• Service delivery systems for bailing and chopping
• Input shops (private, cooperative) linkages with
suppliers (dealerships)and farmers in hubs

27. Animal/bee reproduction

28. Forage seed reproduction/supply

29. Mass AI with hormones

30. Animal health services

31. Input suppliers

32. Processing and
marketing interventions

33. Potential interventions
• Introduction of small scale processing
equipment
• Collective (formal, informal) and individual
action for processing and sale of livestock
products
• Market linkages/information/promotion

34. Introduction of small scale processing
services

35. Collective/individual action for
processing and marketing

36. Market information and promotion
• Price information services
• Increase access producers to more traders
• Market promotion thru fairs
• Linking with value chain projects operational at
regional/federal level
