Goal/ objective
Improve dairy
management on
mixed smallholder
farms practices
through
zero-grazing
See above
Study conducted
to examine
differences in
dairy farming
benefits based on
male or female
extension agent
Intervention:
strategy and activities
• Extension services
provided to promote
zero-grazing practices
• Veterinary services
• Assistance to
participants to
obtain loans for
start-up capital
See above
Design:
comparison groups
and methods
Cross-sectional study from
May–June 1987. Dietary
intakes measured with 24-hr
recall, and anthropometry
measured for children
6–59 mo.
DDP farmers started before
1980 (n=30); dairy customers
of DDP-farmers (n=24); and
rural farming households in in
same agro-ecological zones of
dairy farmers (n=90)
Quantitative and qualitative
methods in cross-sectional
study in February 1993
Households stratified by male
or female extension contacts
(n=32)
Level of Inference
Results
Plausibility
*Frequency and quantity of milk
consumed increased in DDP and
customer groups
*HAZ and WAZ higher in DDP
and customer groups
*Energy intakes highest
in dairy groups
Observational / Formative
*On male contact farmers, 3/4’s
of dairy operators are women
*Only on female contact
farms did dairy income accrue
to women
*consensus that intensive dairying
has led to improved income and
milk consumption
*Women on female contact farms
spend more dairy income on
school and food for households
than HH of male contact farms
