There are conflicting Reports in the literature about the benefits of defaunation, the removal of ciliate protozoa from the rumen, in ruminant production. Ciliate protozoa are not essential for proper functioning of the rumen nor for the life of the host and that their contribution to microbial p...

Small ruminants play an important, but often underestimated, role in the livelihoods of resource-poor farmers in Kenya. Besides being an important source of protein and immediate cash, they also have a variety socio-cultural values. Their importance in mixed crop-livestock systems in Kenya is exp...

Red Maasai [Masai] and Dorper sheep were evaluated for their resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites (predominantly Haemonchus contortus), productivity and efficiency in experiments undertaken at the Kenyan coast (humid environment) and the Kenya highlands (semiarid environment). It was...

The marketing system of small ruminants in coastal Kenya was studied through a case study in Kilifi and Kwale districts. Five channel levels were identified. 1) producers, 2) assemblers, 3) itinerant traders 4) retailers, and 5) consumers. Price discovery was by one-to-one bargaining at all the c...
