Having well nourished and healthy livestock represents a challenge for farmers in Uganda. Diary cattle in Uganda, in most cases, produce less milk than expected. This is mainly caused by improper feeding, which provides feed in inadequate quantities and of low quantity. It is therefore imperative that feed quantity and quality be improved for diary cows in Uganda to increase milk production and subsequently household incomes. There exist technologies to improve the quality of the fodder, e.g. introducing legumes in the cropping system. This has a significant impact on the soil and livestock if introduced to the farming and livestock system following certain criteria. This technology gives some examples of legumes which can be inter-cropped with grasses to improve the quality of animal fodder.
