Small ruminants (goats and sheep) play an important role in rural livelihoods. About one third of the total red meat consumed in Kenya comes from small ruminants (GoK, 2015a). Small ruminants are easier to de-stock and re-stock due to their small body size, higher birth rate, and shorter generati...
