A comparative study of urban and rural dairy management systems in Sudan
Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world, situated in the north-eastern Africa, with a nature ranging from desert in the north to tropical rainforest in the south. The majority of the population, of over 36 million people, is settled in central urban areas, resulting in great demands of fo...

| description | Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world, situated in the north-eastern Africa, with a nature ranging from desert in the north to tropical rainforest in the south. The majority of the population, of over 36 million people, is settled in central urban areas, resulting in great demands of food supply, including dairy products. The objectives of the present paper was to, by help of interviews and observations, study Sudanese cattle dairy production systems near Khartoum and in the Agalyeen area, Gezira state, with respects to breeds, general management, water regime and feeding of cows and calves.
The study showed a great variety in management systems, ranging from modern large-scale to small-scale rural systems, keeping exotic, crossbred or indigenous cattle. Water and feeding regimes varied from poor to well adjusted to the potential production level of the animals.
In a future perspective, mainly the small-scale systems have large potential for improvements leading to increased milk production as well as ameliorated living conditions for people in the area. |

Sudan, som ligger i nordöstra Afrika, är ett av världens fattigaste länder. Naturtypen övergår från öken i norr till tropisk regnskog i söder. Majoriteten av de 36 miljoner invånarna bor i centrala, urbana områden, vilket resulterar i stora behov av livsmedel, inklusive mjölkprodukter. Målet med det föreliggande arbetet var att, med intervjuer och observationer, undersöka den nötkreatursbaserade mjölkproduktionen i Sudan, i Khartoums närhet och i Agalyeenområdet, Gezira state, avseende rasval, djurhållning, vatten och utfodring av kor och kalvar. Denna studie visade stor variation avseende djurhållningssystem, från moderna storskaliga till småskaliga landsbygdslokaliserade system, med exotiska, inhemska eller korsningsdjur. Vatten- och utfodringsformer varierade från väl avpassade till bristfälliga i förhållande till djurens produktionskapacitet. I ett framtidsperspektiv kan konstateras att, framför allt den småskaliga landsbygdslokaliserade produktionen har stora möjligheter att utvecklas till att så väl öka produktionen som förbättra levnadsstandarden för människorna i området. 2006-02-10 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/11875/1/kulneff_c_171013.pdf Kulneff, Cecilia, 2006.
