Most smallholder dairy farmers in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to grid electricity due to their sparse location and, thus, do not have means for cooling their milk. Their evening milk cannot get to markets the next day without spoil-ing. Where possible, the evening milk is consumed locally. In cases where there is no local market, the milk is either wasted or used to make a ghee-like product. Ferment-ed milk (makamo) churning is the most laborious and time consum-ing component of the ghee-making process. Additionally, the traditional manual process is considered un-satisfactory with respect to meeting acceptable hygiene standards. This report includes the design, construc-tion and testing of a simple milk churner for smallholder dairy farm-ers that reduces traditional churning process time from 8 to 1 hour, while improving production hygiene. |
