Intergrating feed interventions for improved livestock productivity

The domains’ map shows that feed scarcity is one of the factors which constrain livestock productivity, thereby compromising livelihoods in the mixed farming systems of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Therefore the recommendations of this study will be instrumental in closing the feed scarcity gap and improve livestock productivity for better livelihoods.
However, it is very important to understand that there is not one feed intervention which is ideal to solving all the feed scarcity issues but, integrating two or three feed interventions recommended for each domain may eliminate all the feed scarcity constraints which exist within a certain domain. One feed intervention may deal with seasonality and the other may deal with quantity thus, their combined effect can eliminate the feed constraint according to mitigation potential.
