Improved forage seed availability in southern uganda
Feed shortages and poor quality of available feed are the major constraints to increased livestock productivity in Uganda.Increases in animal productivity can be achieved through an improvement of pastures and rangelands, whose quality is not rich enough to meet the requirements of high potential dairy cows.Improving an existing land or sowing a new pasture requires a reliable source of seed or vegetative material of species that farmers can find only through remote and private companies, who sell expensive imported seeds from large‐scale Kenyan commercial tropical pasture seed production farms.This issue of improved forage seed availability has been identified in the frame of ACSS ( Agricultural Consultation and Sector Structuring) Project (Grimaud et al., 2004 ), funded by the French Development Agency with the objective to support the formation or the strengthening of dairy farmer organizations.
