Abstract

Globally, livestock farming, including cattle production, is an essential
component of agriculture, contributing significantly to food security and economic
development. Dual-purpose cattle, valued for both meat and dairy, play a crucial role in
many economies, providing nutrition, income, and employment opportunities. Cattle
production in Uganda remains one of the farming activities carried out in the cattle
corridor of Uganda and particularly east, central and western Uganda predominantly the
indigenous type of cattle is being kept for milk and beef products although exotic, dual
and cross breed animals have also been introduced.
The study aims to assess the economic contributions of dual-purpose cattle
production on household welfare, analyze the socio-economic factors influencing the
choice of dual-purpose cattle farming on household welfare, assess the challenges faced
by farmers in dual-purpose cattle production, and evaluate the efficiency of dual-purpose
cattle production on household welfare.
