A milk marketing system for pastoralists of Kilosa district in Tanzania: mark...Premier Publishers
Despite a large diversity of livestock species in Tanzania, most livestock keepers are not commercial oriented. However, this paper analyzed commercial settings particularly the efficiency of a pastoral milk marketing system in Kilosa District and identifies strategies to improve milk marketing. A cross-sectional research design was employed to collect data using interview schedule, focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Marketing margins, descriptive statistics and Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) model were used as analytical tools. The findings show that pastoral milk marketing is not efficient but profitable. This signifies potential for increasing income for pastoralist if milk efficiency was improved. Net profit margins realized per liter were TZS 332.00(1 USD = TZS 1800.00), TZS 65.00 and TZS 141.00 by producers, small scale milk vendors and retailers, respectively. The market information flow was not transparent. The pastoral system had no defined standards, grades, or product differentiation in packaging thus signaling market inefficiency. Commercialization focusing on promotion of pastoral milk marketing, through introduction of community based extension services and village community banks, empowerment of small and medium scale processors, training on proper milking and milk handling need to be considered in the future intervention strategies.

Smallholder beef subsector can potentially contribute to the nation’s development. The paper presents the results of the value chain analysis of the beef sub sector in Zimbabwe. Data was gathered through cross sectional house hold survey of 380 beef farmers, six community focus group discussions, key informant interviews and interviews of value chain actors. Empirical results showed that profitability of beef
marketing by farmers is constrained by low productivity caused by longer calving intervals, poor animal husbandry practices and lack of market information. Three existing beef cattle value chains were identified.A total of 91% of the producers sold cattle to the informal livestock market and only 9% through formal market. Body condition, health of animal and age were reported as major factors used in setting cattle
prices. The study recommends setting up breeding programs, improved husbandry practices, improving
farmer access to market information and collective action among farmers.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Introduction
A number of constraints within the pig value chain restrict its potential for
smallholder livelihood improvements.
There is little evidence and information regarding the structure, conduct and
performance of the pig value chain.
Objective
• To assess the structure and conduct of the existing smallholder pig value chains.
Materials and methods
The survey was carried out in three districts of
Uganda: Mukono, Kamuli and Masaka.
To collect the data FGDs were used in 35 villages and
about 1400 smallholder farmers in attendance..

Conduct
The conduct of the value chain is characterized by spot markets with the traders being price setters while the producers are price takers
Prices that are offered by buyers offer range from 25000-36000 for piglets and the prices of pork vary from 3600-6000 depending on the
actor and the value chain domain
