ABSTRACT
Agricultural universities invest substantial resources in postgraduate research and generate knowledge products with the aim of providing practical solutions to known practical constraints impeding productivity in the livestock value chains. However, enhancing utilization of the knowledge products by the target beneficiary actors in the value chain has remained a challenge because of not using effective knowledge sharing strategies. Consequently, the gaps between research outputs and uptake are still large. Using a case study of Egerton University, which is reputed for agricultural research and training, this research aimed at determining (i) the most frequently used knowledge sharing strategies, (ii) most targeted actors, (iii) preferences and perceptions that actors have on the relevance and accessibility of the knowledge products and sharing strategies, and (iv) skills in use by the actors that they can associate with the knowledge products generated at Egerton University. Data was collected through desktop review of theses defended between January 2005 and December 2011, and a stratified random sampling cross-sectional survey of livestock value chain actors. The sampled knowledge products most frequently targeted operators in the livestock value chain. Dissemination of the knowledge products was 25 to 29 times more (P
