Net benefits of smallholder dairy cattle farms in Senegal can be significantly increased through the use of better dairy cattle breeds and improved management practices by Marshall, Karen, Salmon, Gareth R., Tebug, Stanly Fon, Juga, J., MacLeod, M., Poole, Elizabeth J., Baltenweck, Isabelle, Missohou, A.

“…Among other initiatives, the use of exotic dairy cattle has been promoted, despite no evidence for the potential livelihood benefits (or otherwise) to smallholder farmers on adopting the new genetics. The current work fills this evidence gap by performing a farm-level economic study comparing the keeping of different breed and cross-breed types of dairy cattle under different management levels. …”
