Abstract: The study examines the Tanzanian livestock industry to explain low levels of improved management and commercial sales. Level of technology adoption and two perceived economic values by producers are estimated in 792 herds. Communal grazing and depressed government regulated prices of cattle are determined as factors causing low levels of technology adoption.
