Abstract: In this paper, efforts were made to estimate the impact of stall feeding (SF) technology on households’ milk production and consumption, market participation as well as land conservation in rural Northern Ethiopia using data obtained from a survey of 518 rural farmers. Using endogenous switching regression models, we estimate different outcome indicators for both adopters from adopting SF (ATT), and non-adopters had they adopted (ATU). The values of ATT and ATU show that SF adoption increased milk production, consumption expenditure, number of plantation and of physical construction, propensity of participating in animal market sale and growing trees in their plots.
