Integration of crossbred dairy goats into Burundi's farming systems
The document explains that the improvement of milk production from goats and sheep is one objective of the core research program on small ruminants of the International Livestock Center for Africa (ILCA 1988). The work on dairy goats presented here is the result of the collaboration of ILCA with the Ngozi goat project in Burundi. Two points are noteworthy. Firstly, dairy goat production has been promoted in mixed crop-livestock systems. Secondly, crossbreeding has often been used to boost goat productivity. The results presented show that small farmers in the same situation respond differently to a proposed innovation
