Abstract

PurposeThis study examined the effects of adopting dairy feed technology bundles on the milk production of smallholder dairy farmers.Design/methodology/approachThe study was based on Multinomial Endogenous Switching Regression (MESR) to estimate the effects of the adoption of three feed technology bundles on milk production using data collected from 518 dairy farm households in West Java, Indonesia.FindingsThe findings indicated that adopting technology bundles had positive and robust effects on milk production, with gradual positive effects between non-adoption and the adoption of different bundles of technologies.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focused on the association between the adoption of feed technology bundles and milk production. However, further analysis of the causal links between the adoption of feed technologies and milk production as well as the inclusion of other outcomes in the analysis, such as production costs and risk mitigation, are required.Originality/valueMost of the literature on agricultural technology adoption focuses on the adoption of individual technologies, crop farming and conservation practices. Therefore, this study examined the effects of the adoption of dairy feed technology bundles.

乳制品饲料技术捆绑包的采用提高了小农户的牛奶产量

目的本研究考察了采用奶牛饲料技术包对小农户牛奶生产的影响。设计/方法/方法该研究基于多项内生切换回归（MESR），利用从印度尼西亚西爪哇518个奶牛场家庭收集的数据，估计采用三种饲料技术包对牛奶生产的影响，在不采用和采用不同捆绑技术之间逐渐产生积极影响。研究局限性/含义本研究重点关注饲料技术包的采用与牛奶生产之间的关系。然而，需要进一步分析饲料技术的采用与牛奶生产之间的因果关系，并在分析中纳入其他结果，如生产成本和风险缓解。原创性/价值大多数关于农业技术采用的文献都集中在个体技术、作物种植和保护实践的采用上。因此，本研究考察了采用奶牛饲料技术捆的效果。
