ABSTRACT
Semi-arid peri-urban environment holds great potential for dairy development to meet the high demand for milk and become a livelihood support strategy. In support for dairy production, forage technologies were promoted among dairy farmers in order to improve the performance of the sector and contribute to poverty reduction. However, the level and determinants of adoption of selected forage technologies in relation to dairy production is still unknown. To address this, 150 dairy farmers, with 120 purposively selected from a list of dairy farmers and 30 additional dairy farmers randomly selected in the peri-urban areas of Machakos and Wote Towns. The primary data collected using semi-structured questionnaire were coded, organized and analysed using descriptive statistics to generate means, frequencies, percentages and chi-square tests. In addition, a logistic regression model was used to evaluate the determinants of adoption of selected forage technologies among dairy farmers in the study areas. The findings of this study show that the levels of adoption of the forage technologies among dairy farmers were low at p
