The role of Kenya dual purpose goats in drought recovery and food security in marginal areas of Kenya

Abstract

As a drought‐preparedness strategy, a community was provided with dual purpose goats for milk production and crossbreeding with the local small East African goats. Over 2 years, more than 400 Kenya dual purpose goat crosses were produced and their performance was significantly superior to the indigenous parents. Copyright © 2005 Whurr Publishers Ltd.
