| description | Livestock production is a major agricultural activity in Kenya, with the livestock sector contributing 30-40% of agricultural GDP and about 12% to the national GDP. The livestock sub-sector further accounts for 30% of total marketed agricultural products and employs 50% of the total agriculture labour force. Cattle and small ruminants are of high importance in Kenya both in terms of human diets and livelihoods, while poultry is growing in importance. It is estimated that more than one third of Kenyan households keep at least one head of cattle and two-thirds keep at least one chicken. |
