Introduction
Title:
o Enhancing Dairy-based Livelihoods in India and the
United Republic of Tanzania through Feed Innovation
and Value Chain Development Approaches
Purpose:
o To contribute to improved dairy-supported livelihoods in
India and Tanzania via intensification of smallholder
production focusing on feed enhancement using
innovation and value chain approaches.
o Links to IFAD grant policy: innovative technologies and
approaches, capacity strengthening, knowledge sharing.
Introduction – Project countries: “IT”
India
Tanzania
Led by ILRI
Led by CIAT
State of Uttarakhand
Closely linked to CRP
(non-CRP Livestock & Fish) –
Bageshwar & Sult
Partners NGOs (INHERE,
CHIRAG)
Will feed into new IFAD grant
project (ILSP)
Livestock & Fish
Two regions – Morogoro &
Tanga
Partners: research/ academia
(SUA, TALIRI)
No link to IFAD grant policy
established as yet
Key differences in dairy Tanzania vs. India
India
Tanzania
Buffaloes, few dairy cows –
Cattle as assets & for social
almost treated as ‘family
members’
Long tradition of self-help
groups (SHGs); cooperatives
common
Dairy animals zero-grazed
prestige, few dairy cows
Little communal organization;
Hay commonly produced
Processing traditional: paneer,
ghee, milk sweets, other
Milk consumption is high
cooperatives evoke (negative)
memories
Dairy animals zero-grazed,
but most feed comes from
grazing or collection
No feed conservation tradition
Little milk processing
practiced, sour milk, ghee
Milk consumption is low

MilkIT implementation process
Aiming to link to IFAD grant policy
o Work in Pemba or Manyara?
Joining the CRP Livestock & Fish process (2012) driven
by MoreMilkiT , under the common goal ‘Maziwa Zaidi’
o Site selection
o Dairy value chain (DVC) assessment
o Baseline survey
o Choosing partners
Working via innovation platforms (IP) towards
improving feeds and feeding (2013)
o Feed assessment with FEAST
o Setting up village IPs
o Participatory definition of interventions
Links to IFAD grant policy
Pemba Island and Manyara Region FEAST training
and DVC Assessment in Pemba (July 2012)
Focus group discussions at: Kisiwani
Chake Chake and Mkoani
Links to IFAD grant policy
Conclusions from DVC assessment in Pemba
o Milk production increased over recent past
But low local consumption of milk and milk products
o Promotion of consumption of milk and milk products is
needed to match increased production
o Improved marketing required, including also more
professional processing and packaging
Because of its focus on using feed interventions to
increase milk production, the IFAD-funded MilkIT
project should not regard Pemba as a priority
intervention area under the current circumstances of
dairy development on the island

2. Productivity enhancement
3. Knowledge sharing
MilkIT Tanzania
Component 1. Institutional strengthening
Site selection criteria
o High cattle density
o Market channels: ruralrural & rural-urban
o Farming systems
o Milk production potential
o Accessibility & distance
o Potential partners/
stakeholders
Sites
o In each region, 4 villages
selected from 2 districts

Producers (60%) &
Other VC stakeholders (40%)
MilkIT Tanzania
Process used in establishing Innovation Platforms
• Regional Platform meetings
to implement agreed actions
• DVC & FEAST conducted at
village level
• FEAST & DVC feedback to
villages
• IP sensitization meetings
• IP member election
• IPs agree on their
functioning guidelines
• Implement action research
• Implement other
interventions
Tanga
Morogoro
• District CMT sensitization

Inadequate markets:
Land availability:
o Milk pricing will be taken care of
o Land use plan is underway
by the Tanga Dairy Platform
o SNV conducts a survey to
underscore the governance of
primary cooperative societies and
processors
o Developed bylaws to prevent
Extension & veterinary
services:
o Plan to recruit and distribute
extension staff in every village
o Plan to encourage more service
providers within the district up to
village level
invading pastoralists
Insufficient pasture:
o Continuous sensitization of
pastoralists on options to enhance
productivity
Inadequate access to inputs:
o 5 AI centres planned to be
established in various sites of
district
o Encourage more input agents to
operate in each ward

centers
o Establish more livestock markets
for better coverage of district
(incl. from absentee investors)
Inadequate vet services:

Key results from research on village IP
performance in Tanga
Performance indicator ‘Access to
larger variety and better feeds’
o Significantly related to frequency
and quality of communication and
increased exposure to different
information sources of
interviewees, including training
particularly
Key informant interviews

Component 2. Productivity enhancement
Feed assessment
o Training on FEAST tool in
Morogoro & Tanga regions
26 participants were trained
o FEAST surveys in all 8 villages
104 Farmers for individual interviews
306 Farmers in FGDs
Focus Group Discussion
o FEAST reports compiled from 4
districts
Challenges identified and solutions
proposed are possible entry points and
mark the pillars for IP functioning
Individual interview
MilkIT Tanzania
Productivity enhancement
FEAST key results
Seasonality of feed results in
seasonal milk production
Grazing is main feed source in
extensive system; higher diversity
of feed stuffs in semi-intensive/
intensive system
FEAST participants did not
perceive feeds or feeding as key
constraints
Principle constraints identified
were land, water and markets for
livestock and milk; genetic
potential of cattle and livestock
diseases; lack of knowledge on
animal husbandry
Seasonal feed availability in Twatwatwa
village, Kilosa District, and Manyinga village,
Mvomero District, Morogoro Region
MilkIT Tanzania
Identification of intervention strategies
emerging from dairy value chain analysis
Constraints from past feed Identified technical
interventions
o Limited number of adopted feed
technologies
o High resource costs of
technologies in terms of labour
and accessibility
o Proper packaging and
dissemination of technologies is
needed
o Mostly limited to intensive
smallholder dairy production
interventions at MilkIT
sites
o Pasture establishment &
