Am student,from the National University of Rwanda in fourth year Animal production department,so this project of EADD is important but the only problem is that,processing of milk is still very low and the feeds that are available for feeding the animals are of poor quality,investment in animal feeds is required in order to improve milk quality and quantity.
the EADD is important in development of dairy production in Rwanda,but the beneficiaries are still at lower number.Also the training of dairy farmers is needed because most of farmers have no sufficient knowledge about feeding their cows and feed conservation to avoid feed shortage.
