Understanding the utilisation patterns of milk assists in designing appropriate dairy development schemes in rural communities.
The objective of the study was to determine milk utilisation patterns in different smallholder farming systems in the Eastern
Cape Province of South Africa. Data were collected through the administration of recording sheets to 130 randomly selected
households in Alice, Fort Beaufort and Queenstown districts. Amounts of milk produced per household ranged from 9 to 21 l
per household per day. Milk consumption/household/day was similar among the three districts. Milk consumption in the early
lactation doubled the amount consumed in late lactation (P < 0.05). Milk in the communal areas was largely utilised as fresh or sour milk. Fresh milk was mostly used in tea/coffee
or to make porridge for children. Sour milk was consumed with thick boiled maize meal. Fort Beaufort (10.2 ± 1.37 l/day) had
the highest sour milk sales whilst Queenstown had the highest fresh milk sales (9.7 ± 5.57 l/day). It was concluded that quantities
of milk consumed or sold as fresh or sour were generally low and varied across smallholder farming systems. 相似文献

Opportunities for improving Nguni cattle production in the smallholder farming systems of South Africa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A total of 218 structured questionnaires were administered to determine the influence of production and socioeconomic factors on Nguni cattle farmers' constraints in the smallholder areas of South Africa. Cattle were mainly used for cash, milk and ceremonies. Cattle herd sizes were higher (P < 0.05) in the small-scale (23 ± 5.2) compared to the communal (9 ± 3.1) areas and mainly composed of cows. Most (75%) of the cattle owners were adult males and were more involved in herd management than adult females and youths. Shortage of feed and diseases/parasites were ranked by farmers as the most important constraints. The logistic regression model showed that odds ratio estimates of households experiencing cattle feed shortage and disease/parasite challenges were high for rangeland type, production system and gender of the household head. About 40 and 75% of the respondents in the sour and sweet rangelands reported that cattle condition deteriorates during winter, respectively (P < 0.05). Tick-borne diseases were the common causes of cattle mortality, especially in summer. Local crossbreds and Nguni were the common cattle breeds in the smallholder areas. African tradition worshippers had higher (P < 0.05) Nguni herd sizes (6 ± 3.2) than Christians (1 ± 0.5). Breeding season was undefined and mating system was largely uncontrolled in the communal areas. Farmers' socioeconomic and pedo-climatic situations should be considered when planning strategies for cattle development in the smallholder farming systems. 相似文献

Antioxidant activities of polyphenolic compounds extracted (PPEs) from ripe fruits of oil palms are investigated by studying their in vitro effects on human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. Four oil palm species ( Elaeis guineensis ) are issued from the National Centre of Agronomic Research of Co?te d'Ivoire, of which two are parental varieties (HP1 and HP2), while the other two are crossing varieties (HP3 and HP4). The main identified compounds were rutin (HP3 and HP4) and caffeic and chlorogenic (5-caffeoyl quinic) acids (HP1, HP3, and HP4). The highest total phenolic content was found for HP4, while it was significantly lower for HP2. Antioxidative effects were monitored by Cu(2+)- or 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH)-induced generation of conjugated dienes (lag time and oxidation rate). The highest PPE specific antioxidant activity (SAA) values were obtained with crossing varieties (HP3 and HP4) in the copper-oxidation assay. In the AAPH-oxidation assay, SAA values were comparable for all four varieties. PPEs were effective at preventing LDL-vitamin E depletion in vitro. They could exert direct beneficial antioxidant effects on vitamin E and other antioxidants contained in food and beverages in vivo, within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These data could also be of particular importance for a healthier nutrition or the management of chronic diseases by a polyphenol-rich diet. 相似文献

Farmer perceptions on milk production and calf rearing practices on communal rangelands in the smallholder areas of the Eastern
Cape Province, South Africa were evaluated on a total of 218 cattle farmers using structured questionnaires, semi-structured
interviews with key informants and personal observations. Nearly 70% of the households in the small-scale areas milked twice
a day compared to 60% in the communal areas. About 62% of the interviewees weaned calves between 6 and 12 months of age. Milk
yield/cow/day (7.5 ± 0.5 litres), fresh milk consumption/household/day (3.2 ± 0.5 litres) and sales/household/day (3.1 ± 1.1 litres)
were highest in the sour-veld, small-scale farms (P < 0.05). Sour milk consumption/household/day (2.6 ± 0.2 litres) and sales/household/day
(0.8 ± 0.2 litres) were significantly high in communal farms with a sour-veld. It was concluded that, calf rearing practices
were poor and milk yield, consumption and sales were generally low and varied with production system and rangeland type. Further
research is required to improve calf management practices, cow nutrition, milk yield and quality and how milk production can
be used as a toll for rural development in the smallholder areas of South Africa. 相似文献
