| description | From 2015-2018, the Accelerated Value Chain Development project aimed to support the dairy sector in non-traditional dairy regions of Kenya. A key constraint to milk production is feed. Using the Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST) tool, Brachiara grass was identified as the most suitable feed option. The second step included its dissemination and improving its use including commercialisation. These activities resulted in an increase in milk production per cow, with likely positive effects on income and other aspects of farmers' livelihoods. |
