Abel is one of thousands of dairy farmers in Tanzania who received good husbandry and feed training under ILRI-led African Dairy Genetic Gains (ADGG) program in Tanzania. ADGG is working to unlock the potential of Tanzania's dairy sector by identifying and delivering more productive and profitable dairy cows.
