• W585904902 abstract "The Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST) was used to characterize the feed‐related aspects of the livestock production system in Namayumba sub district, Wakiso district of Uganda. The assessment was carried out through focused group discussions and completion of short questionnaires by three key farmer representatives owning small, medium and large scale farms on the 24 th of March 2011 1 . The following are the findings of the assessment and conclusions for further action. Farming system The farming system is primarily a subsistence based, mixed crop/livestock system. Farm sizes in the area are around 1.5 acres (0.6 ha) on average with most of the land being used for cropping. A typical household size is 6 people who live permanently on farm on average per year. Households in the area commonly grow a variety of food crops including; maize (Zea mays), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), bananas (Musa acuminate), cassava (Manihot esculenta), and groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea). Many farmers also grow forage crops such as Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana), and Nandi setaria (Setaria sphacelata). A few farmers grow fodder legumes such as Lablab purpureus and Mucuna pruriens as well as fodder trees and shrubs such as Calliandra calothyrsus. The average area of land used for production of food crops is shown in Figure 1 and fodder crops in Figure 2. Each household also raises a variety of livestock species including cattle, sheep, goats and pigs for various purposes. Cattle are kept mainly for milk, cash income from animal sales and manure. On average most households have two or three milking cows. In addition, many households have 3‐4 sheep and/or goats. Indigenous chickens are kept by households to meet household meat, egg and cash needs. Nganda type cattle are kept by more than 80% of households but they are not popular with farmers due to their low milk production capabilities. Improved cross bred cattle are kept by about 30% of the households. Cross breds comprise mainly of Friesian, Jersey breeds and the local Nganda cattle. Sheep and goats are also raised by 20‐50% of the households for quick sale when 1 The very small number of respondents for questionnaires means that the figures in this report are only indicative and should not be considered an accurate reflection of quantitative aspects of the farming system. However, they are adequate to give a crude overall impression for the purposes of guiding thinking about constraints and interventions." @default.
