Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureIntegrated snapshot – Kenya. Cattle and poultry sector
Africa Sustainable Livestock (ASL) 2050
2018Also available in:
No results found.The Kenyan cattle and poultry sectors widely affect society. They contribute to livelihoods, provide food and nutrition, are a major consumer of natural resources, and cause public health threats through zoonoses. The cattle and poultry sectors are anticipated to undergo rapid growth and transformation in the coming decades, because of the anticipated population and economic growth, which will provide major incentives for increased production and productivity in the livestock sector. The longer-term future of Kenyan livestock, and of the cattle and poultry sectors in particular, is still in the making and can be shaped by informed decisions taken today. To understand what different trajectories of the transformation of the cattle and poultry sectors might imply, we must review the current impact of different systems today. This brief is a summary on the current impacts of cattle and poultry systems on the livelihoods, environment and public health. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLivestock country reviews - Poultry sector Ghana 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The poultry sector continues to grow and industrialize in many parts of the world. An increasing human population, greater purchasing power and urbanization have been strong drivers of growth. Advances in breeding have given rise to birds that meet specialized purposes and are increasingly productive, but that need expert management. The development and transfer of feed, slaughter and processing technologies have increased safety and efficiency of poultry production, but favour large -scale units rather than small-scale producers. These developments have led the poultry industry and the associated feed industry to scale up rapidly, to concentrate themselves close to input sources or final markets, and to integrate vertically. One element of the structural change has been a move towards contract farming in the rearing phase of boiler production, allowing farmers with medium-sized flocks to gain access to advanced technology with a relatively low initial investment.
