In many dairy farms across Africa, cows look healthy, well-fed, and even productive—but they’re not getting pregnant. Month after month, the farmer waits, hoping for signs of heat, only to realize too late that nothing is happening.
Salt is a vital nutrient in every cow’s diet. Just like humans, cows require salt (sodium and chloride) to maintain healthy bodily functions. Without it, their performance, milk production, and overall health can decline.
Understanding the terminology used in cattle farming is essential for effective communication, especially among livestock professionals, veterinarians, and agricultural learners.
Ensure the cow is in a clean, dry, and quiet space with enough room to lie down and move. This reduces stress and prevents infections for both the cow and the calf.
Starting a dairy farming venture in Kenya can be a profitable business, but like any agricultural investment, it requires careful planning and capital. The cost depends on factors such as scale, location, and the type of setup
Oats (Avena sativa), commonly referred to simply as oat, is a popular forage crop in dairy farming. Its versatility in being fed fresh, as hay, as silage, or even as grain makes it a valuable option for dairy farmers.
Choosing the right beef breed is one of the most important steps when starting or growing your beef cattle farm. Your choice affects meat quality, growth rates, market value, and even how well your animals handle your farm’s environment.
In dairy farming, feed is everything. It’s the fuel behind milk production, animal health, fertility, and even farm profitability.
In dairy farming, animal health equals milk productivity. One of the most overlooked pillars of maintaining herd health is a proper deworming routine.
For any dairy farmer, low milk yield is the most dreaded reality. Yet, it’s widespread across Kenya, where the average daily milk yield for top breeds like Friesians and Ayrshires is only 7.8 litres per cow. The big culprit? High feed costs.
