Analysis of production objectives and breeding practices of dairy goats in Kenya.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Mar 2009

Bett R C, Kosgey I S, Kahi A K, Peters K J

Abstract excerpt

Production objectives and breeding practices of smallholder households participating in dairy goat breeding projects were analysed in relation to their ability to bring about sustainable genetic improvement in the dairy goat flocks in Kenya. A stratified survey involving 311 goat keepers in 4 project sites was used. This employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods to get a holistic view of dairy...
