Feed Specialist Consultant Needed +b

Posted by: Jill Crowther crowtherj@care.org

Terms of Reference

Feed Specialist Consultant

LINK COMMPETES Project

Background:

The CARE International LINK’s Competitive Marketing of Milk Production Enabling Trade and Enterprise Success (LINK COMMPETES) project, is a twenty month project, funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through an umbrella grant managed by Save the Children (SC– US) under USAID’s Kosovo Assistance Program (KAP). The goal of LINK COMMPETES is to increase commercial dairy production, income and employment through targeted and integrated interventions along the production-processing-marketing chain.

The project targets existing and potential commercial dairy farmers throughout Kosovo. An identified constraint to their production is a lack of knowledge on appropriate feeding. Poor quality or badly designed feed rations are used which can be easily adapted to meet the real needs of the diary cow, in calf heifer or calf. A consultant is required to work with these dairy farmers to ensure they are feeding correctly to improve production and reduce costs.

It is expected that a twenty-six day consultancy beginning in June 2003, is required in order to carry out extensive field work and prepare a final report of recommendations. .

Specific Objectives:

The objectives of the feed specialist consultant are as follows:

1. Provide feedback to improve rations for lactating cows, dry cows, calves, replacement heifers and dairy bull raised for meat.

2. Assess current feed ration compositions and their relative costing.

3. Improve the vitamin, trace mineral and major mineral nutrition of dairy cattle.

4. Balancing dairy rations for rumen un-degradable protein (by-pass protein) and rumen degradable protein.

5. Improve nutrient balance of dairy rations and their relative costing.

6. Enable farmers reducing their cyclical milk production differentials in order to give processors a steady supply.

Specific Outputs:

1. Feedback extension agents in improving forage quality.

2. Train one member of staff on cattle nutrition and on the use of a cattle nutrition software application.

3. Provide ‘in-situ’ nutrition technical assistance to15 progressive farmers.

4. Deliver 15 half day training sessions for 150 participating farmers on cattle ration re-calibration at progressive farmers’ reference farms.

5. Provide a final report (10 pages maximum) and 15 spreadsheet tables showing costing benefits of ration re-calibration.

It is recommended that the consultant accompany technical staff and extension staff to the field as the primary means for conducting an inquiry. The consultant should use observation techniques as well as a process of dialogue and inquiry with staff “on the job.” and participating farmers. This would include taking advantage of field visits to address questions to project participants as well as meeting with financial institutes’ representatives for research and development. Project documentation should also be consulted.

Timeframe:

The above activities are expected to take twenty six (26) working days, which includes all fieldwork, training sessions and a final report.

Key contacts:

The supervisor for this term of reference is the Business Advisor of the CARE International LINK COMMPETES project, Guy Dionne. The final report and ongoing feedback about the work in progress shall be also shared with the Project Manager, Jill Crowther. Overall point of contact for the entire contracted period is Dawn Wadlow, CARE’s Acting Mission Director.

Working Conditions:

The consultant will be working throughout Kosovo, but primarily in Prishtina/Prishtinë. Working hours are from 8am until 5, with one hour for lunch. The consultant will be provided with office space in CARE’s office. Accommodation will be provided by CARE.

Consultant Qualifications:

Expert in Dariy Nutrition.

Eastern-European experience is preferable.
