Production aspects Who are dairy producers? Smallholder farmMedium farmLarge scale farm holding <5 x breed dairy cows and producing both crop and Livestock (Individual) holding>5 to 10 x breed dairy cows mostly found in and around urban Area (Subsistence) holding >10 x breed dairy cows mainly targeting profit from dairy Products (commercial)

Feeding: Small holder Feed type and its source NoTypes of feed Feed sources Where it acmes from 1 Basal diet Grazing, weed Hay Green feed Straw Oats hay Own Communal grazing farm and land Part of his Farm land(kello) Part of his Farm land Crop residue Sown for feed 2Supplementary feed Wheat bran Cereal halls Attela Salt Green feed Purchased Own processed Purchased Owen planted Flour factory 2 Nd grade grains Home made local beer Retailers Back yarded improved forage

Medium Dairy Farm Feed type and its source……….. NoTypes of feed Feed sources Where it acmes from 1 Basal diet Hay Crop residue Purchased Retailers Surrounding farmers 2 Supplementary feed Oil seed cake Wheat bran Pulse halls Attela Salt Purchased Edible oil factory Flour factory Bean and lintel grinding mills From home made local bear Retailers

Main production problems and possible solutions for the input supply At small holder level(individuals) ProblemPossible Solution High feed price but less milk priceStrengthen of the linkage between farm HHs to inputs and outputs market ether in buying selling, Shortage of grazing and hay productions land Strengthen backyard improved forage production Milk Price is decided by purchasers Price should be negotiable and needs regular price monitoring AI, Vaccine and health service Problem Strengthen AI and health service at PA level and Regular professional visits Source for improved breeds,if Found highly expensive Improved breed production should be encouraged on private and government level
12
Inputs or services Who supplies AI/natural mating? Most of the dairy producers are getting AI service from district ministry of agriculture Very few are using natural mating from their own selected bull Very few are using AI and natural mating from their Owen farm level

Who are the main market actors? At Small holder levelAt medium farm levelLarge scale farm level Road side milk collection Cooperatives Hotels, cafes unions Tea rooms Individual HHs Milk collection unions came and purchase at farm gate Service centers such as Hotels, restaurants, kafes Milk processing companies came and purchase at the farm get Service centers such as Hotels, restaurants, karees

What are the main problems associated with marketing and how might be solved Main problemsHow it might be solved Low price of milkPrice should be negotiable also needs regular Price monitaring High price of feed, drags, vaccineNeeds Government attention, strengthening partnerships linkage Short shelf life of milk and milk product Needs training on means of extending shelf life of the product
