Synopsis (short abstract) Pastoralists have been keeping animals long time immemorial and they possess valuable knowledge that has enabled them to sustain their animals for centuries (Warren, 1992). The Maasai and Barbaig indigenous knowledge (IK) and skills in animal husbandry, range management and forage plants play a significant role in improving sustainable animal productivity, conservation of biodiversity and household food security.
