Abstract:
Throughout Eastern Africa pressure on land is increasing. Average farm size is decreasing as
plots are sub-divided and farmers struggle to find space on their farms to grow subsistence
and cash crops as well as keep livestock. Many farmers would like to keep dairy cows but do
not have the money to buy animals and build zero-grazing units or sufficient land to grow
enough feed. But have you ever considered keeping dairy goats as a more affordable and appropriate option?
