A recent study by Dawite et al. (2025), published in the International Journal of Animal Science and Technology, explores the current manure management practices and factors influencing the adoption of biogas technology among smallholder dairy farmers in Northern Tanzania. The research provides timely insights into sustainable waste management solutions and renewable energy opportunities for rural households.
The study was conducted in Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions areas characterized by high dairy farming activity and substantial manure production. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 204 randomly selected smallholder dairy farmers. The researchers employed structured questionnaires and focus group discussions to gather comprehensive information on manure handling systems, biogas use, and socioeconomic factors.
