This project aims to increase the production and productivity of dairy animals (increasing availability of animal source food) and thus income of smallholder dairy farmers, through recommending appropriate strategies to control the most economically significant mastitis disease. The project investigates the major gaps in the current good husbandry practices for clean and hygienic milk production, identifies the motivational factors for adoption and designs tailor made training courses and trains farmers.
