Dairy goat project<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dairy industry is a very small industry with a current population of about 118,000 dairy goats (pure bred and crosses). However, the demand for dairy goats in Kenya growing very fast, while the availability of the same is very limited as a result of lack of adequate number of dairy goat breeders in the country over the years. The demand for dairy goats is mainly in high rainfall areas and some peri-urban areas where land sizes have become very small due to high human population pressure. In many of these areas, the small land sizes cannot support a dairy cow.\nThe project realised that introducing dairy goats into the very small farms in these areas for rearing under zero-grazing (stall feeding) system as a way of ensuring that the farmers get milk for their family and possibly some cash earnings from sale of extra milk. Goats require less feed per head maintenance than cattle, as a result 6 to 10 does can be kept in place of one cow. The project had a target of distributing 90 goats (80 does, 10 bucks).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bee keeping<\/strong><\/p>\n

The community members reported that bee keeping is a good enterprise and is less time consuming, and can be readily integrated to environmental conservation. The project targeted to provide 345 hives, 30 pairs of bee keeping gears. \n\n\nSince project inception, 220 Langstroth bee-hives were distributed of which 91 have so far been colonised. 22 gears purchased and distributed. \n\n\n\nTraining on bee keeping has been conducted for 73 farmers in the field and another 17 farmers have undergone through an intensive course on apiculture at the Baraka Agricultural College, Molo.\n\n
