During a field visit conducted among dairy farmers, the team carried out preliminary mastitis screening, assessed animal health, and collected research data to evaluate the impact of the training provided through the project on improving dairy farming practices and milk production. In total, the researchers visited and engaged 187 dairy farmers across the region as part of the project's ongoing outreach and research activities.

Among the farmers visited were Mr. James Mbwile, Mr. Seth Mbwiga and Ms. Kivambilo who expressed their appreciation for the training and technical support provided through the NANOCOM Project. They noted that the knowledge gained has helped them improve farm hygiene, adopt safe milking practices and enhance livestock management, contributing to a reduction in mastitis cases and improved milk quality.

According to the NANOCOM Project Coordinator in Tanzania, Prof. Gaymary Bakari, the project is currently being implemented in the regions of Njombe, Mbeya, Iringa, Arusha, and Tanga. The initiative aims to strengthen research, provide practical training and develop sustainable approaches for controlling mastitis while enhancing dairy productivity across the country.

The visit forms part of the project's broader commitment to improving dairy farming systems, strengthening animal health management and increasing the quality and safety of milk produced by smallholder farmers in Tanzania.
