abstract: The last forty years has seen a continuous rise in the demand for meat, milk, and other livestock products
worldwide. Fueled by trends such as increased urbanization, growing populations, and income growth in
the urban areas, it is clear that this demand will only continue to grow (Delgado et al., 1999).
Although decision makers in agriculture have traditionally focused on crop production, the growing
demand for livestock products makes a good case for improving the livestock sector. Gains made here will
ultimately benefit the many small-scale farmers who collectively own more than 80% of the livestock in
southern Africa (SADC RISDP, 2006).
