Tick-borne diseases are considered a major constraint to dairy farming among the smallholder dairy farms in Kenya, which account for an estimated 75-90% of all milk produced in the country. The most important tick-borne disease in Kenya is East Coast fever (ECF) caused by Theileria parva and tran...

Autor: Irungu, P. Mbogoh, S.G. Staal, Steven J. Thorpe, W.R. Njubi, D.

Smallholder dairying in Kenya is mainly concentrated in the central and western parts of the country, where the highland climate and proximity to urban markets are favourable. These farmers produce over 70 percent of the total marketed milk (Omiti et al., 1993), using an average of two cows (most...

A Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) was conducted with smallholder dairy farmers in the central highlands of Kenya, where smallholder mixed farming systems predominate. Shortage of fodder is the principal problem as a result of decreasing farm size and, therefore, cattle are rarely fed ad libit...
