Abstract: . . .  part of animal agriculture . Research efforts therefore should be directed into: 1) better understanding the existing animal agriculture systems and IK; 2) developing necessary infrastructure; and 3) improving services, rather than into biotechnology developments that require a sophisticated infrastructure (Waters-Bayer and Bayer, 2004). The challenge is to find better ways to address the problems of the vast majority of African livestock- keepers and to help develop . . .

Thus, it is unlikely that AI and ET can contribute greatly to poverty alleviation in Africa. Both techniques are presently used mainly for high-yielding animals with high demands with respect to feed quality, sanitation and hygiene. These high-input animals are kept on large farms, which can out-compete . . .
