Project partners:

The key project partners are: The International Livstock Research Institute(ILRI) the Interstate School of Veterinary Science and Medicien of Dakar (EISMV) The University of Helsinki (HU) The Natural Resources Institute of Finland (LUKE)

Project objectives:

The objective of this work-package is to identify and promote utilization of the most appropriate dairy breed / cross-breed types for more productive and profitable dairy enterprises in selected production systems in Senegal. The sub-objectives are:

  • Farmers and other stakeholders made aware of the most appropriate dairy breed / cross-breed types for selected dairy production systems in Senegal.
  • The germplasm value chain of selected dairy production systems in Senegal, and related policies, characterized and used to inform the development of a strategy for strengthened dairy germplasm production and delivery systems
  • Local human, institutional and organizational capacity on assessing and promoting different breeds / cross-breeds of livestock for small to medium input production systems in developing countries enhanced.
