... DFID's Livestock Production Programmes have been commissioning research on Draught Animal Power (DAP) since 1976. Research has focussed on the nutrient requirements of various draught and pack animals, optimal harnessing for efficiency and comfort, new DAP implements particularly for cultivation and weeding, animal welfare and impact on livelihoods. Whereas many of the products of the research have been promoted by intermediary institutions like extension services and NGOs and adopted by poorer farmers, much useful information remains on 'the shelf'. DFID LPP commissioned work in 2003 aimed at collating available information on draught animal research outcomes to be carried out by Kenya Network for Draught Animal Technology (KENDAT). The product was a searchable DAP toolbox to enable intermediary institutions to search for options/interventions in advising resource-poor farmers, and especially DAP practitioners.
