Abstract

In this paper, efforts were made to assess the impact of full and seasonal stall feeding technology on households' milk production and consumption, market participation (animal and animal product sale) in Northern Ethiopia using data obtained from the survey of 518 rural farmers. The overall result indicated that SF adoption ensures significant gains in terms of the specified outcome indicators. Using endogenous switching regression models, we estimate different outcome indicators for both adopters from adoption (ATT), and non-adopters had they adopted (ATU).
