Poultry farming in Kenya is becoming one of the most profitable businesses in Kenya due to demand of chicken by big hotels and restaurants. This makes the poultry farming an important sector in agriculture industry in Kenya because it creates employment to those Kenyans who are in search of job opportunity, it forms a business platform for entrepreneurs, it brings income to the person involved in this kind of farming and finally this is a type of business that dry up in case it is well managed. He above profits can only be realized by the person who engages in poultry farming in Kenya.

For one to start poultry farming, he/she needs to know the types of chicken kept in Kenya. Basically, three are three types of chicken in Kenya;

• The Pullets – this is commonly known as Layers. This are reared for egg production in Kenya but are more stressing to rear as compared to other types of chicken.

• The broiler chicken – this type of chicken is reared for meat production in Kenya. These chickens grow faster and are usually ready for market after approximately 3 months.

• Cockerel – this is the third type of chicken reared in Kenya. They grow slower and are ready for market after about six months. They more reliable than other types of chicken because they can withstand harsh environment. And absorbs all kind of shocks.

Poultry farming requires a lot of dedication from the farmer. You only require little amount of money and small scale farming is more preferable before venturing to large scale farming. You need to sit down and make calculation of the entire business. Once you have capital to big with, find a piece of land for setting up the poultry house. Rural is the best place if you have no piece of land because it is much cheaper there. A plot of 120 by 60 square meters is much better okay.

The next step is to build chicken cage. You should ensure it is spacious and well ventilated to avoid suffocation of chicken. Buy external source of heat for the chicks. Once you have the cage, go and buy one day old chick from any recognized hatchery. When you have purchased the chicks, you need to keep checking them at least five times a day for first couple of days.

The other routine management you need to remember includes:

• Keep the chicks warm at all times. And light must be on throughout the day (24 hours).

• Proper protection of chicks from pets, predators or children from home.

• Ensure that you seek advice from experts on the types of feeds to be given as they are growing because they need to change according the ages.

• The feds should always be kept clean to avoid infections.

• The chicken cage should be kept clean every day.

 

In Kenya there are three channels through which Kenyan beef farmers can market their products instead of selling at the village market for little and no profit at all. The three channels include;

Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) 

it’s a board created by an act of parliament back in 1990’s to buy animals from farmers, process and sell the meat products. The slaughter houses for KMC are located in Athi River, Ngong (Halal) and Mombasa. Here meat is graded into prime choice, FAQ (Fair on Average Quality), standard and commercial. Farmers are paid according to the grade of their animals’ carcass. The government is committed to making KMC the best in terms of marketing of the farmer‘s beef and other meat products.

Livestock Marketing Division(LMD)

it’s not known by many , but in the Ministry of Agriculture there is a branch known as Livestock Development which is charged with the marketing of livestock especially those from semi-arid and arid areas referred to as pastoral areas. The livestock division built holding yards for the farmer’s to bring in their animals for auction. Butchers and other individuals converge in these holding yards to buy and resell the animals.

Local Slaughter houses

which are specially constructed with all the slaughter facilities. They belong to local counties and authorities who lease them to butchers. Remember a butcher is a licensed meat seller. Butchers can buy animals directly from the farmer and slaughter and sell to the customer through their butcheries. With the above techniques if followed and applied by beef farmers in Kenya, expect to earn and live better through beef farming.

Beekeeping in Kenya used to be a rural enterprise which contributed significantly to improved livelihoods of most rural communities in Kenya. Now it is a commercial industry that has really grown since many industries are using bee products. A National Beekeeping Policy in Kenya has been put in place and a monitoring plan highlighting best practices in the honey industry, with quality and standards as the core objects. The quality assurance laboratory at the National Beekeeping Station in Kenya is now fully equipped to offer analytical services in honey residues to all the players in the honey industry. Beekeeping is now becoming an important industry Kenya

Beekeeping in Kenya has been practiced over the years. However only 20% of the country’s honey production potential estimated at 100,000 metric tons has been tapped. Kenya consists of 80% arid and semi-arid lands which have high potential in production of honey. Non arid and semi-arid regions also practice beekeeping. Modern beekeeping in Kenya started in the late 1960s and has since become an important enterprise in the livestock sub-sector. 80% of the honey in Kenya comes from the traditional log hive. Also a reasonable amount of hive products is obtained from Kenya Top Bar and Lang troth hives

Importance of Bee-keeping

• Bee farming is a rewarding and enjoyable occupation which has many benefits to the bee farmers and the returns are high. It has more advantages over other farm enterprises.

• Bee farming requires little land which does not have to be fertile

• Honey is a source of non-perishable food hence last longer

• Capital needed to investment is very low compared to other farm enterprises

• Beekeeping or bee farming is cheap and relatively not competitive to other Agricultural enterprises. It does not compete for scarce resources such as space.

• Labor required in bee farming is very low for activities such as inspections and harvesting.

• Many products can be obtained from bee farming which are great source of income. Examples of these products are honey, beeswax, pollen, bee venom, royal jelly, bee colonies, bee brood, queen bees, and package bees.

• Bee farming encourages environmental conservation since it does cause any pollution and since bees require plant there is a tendency to conserve cutting trees.

• Bees act as good pollinators of plants, trees, fruits and crops, thus playing a big role in bio-diversity and improvement of crop yields in our country.

• most hive products provide remedy for a number of ailments (Apitherapy) and can cure many disease

 CHALLENGES FACING PRODUCTION OF HONEY IN KENYA

• Lack of skills is a major challenge facing this sector. Most farmers in Kenya lack adequate skills on managing bees and handling hive products.

• Also Inadequate training for both farmers and extension staff is also a challenge facing this sector.

• Limited   access to appropriate beekeeping equipment is among the challenges facing bee farming in Kenya.

• Another challenge facing this sector is underdeveloped marketing system of hive products both locally and internationally. This can be due to problems of quality and marketing organizations.

• Lack of adequate and intense research on the existing beekeeping technologies, equipment, honey bee and product utilization is also a main challenge facing bee farming in Kenya.

• Low prioritization of beekeeping in relation to other enterprises in the wider Agricultural sector has also been a problem facing this sector because they get less funds from the government

Rice farming in Kenya has been improved more especially by the discovery of the new breed. Hopes of Kenyan farmers continue to increase hence the country can reduce the continued reliance on foreign imports to have one of the staple food for its citizens. The new breed is known as IR522 that has newly developed strains and further uses less amounts of water than the rest of other varieties. The breed has been noted to deliver high yields and that makes it suitable for many Kenyans as it has been discovered further that it can provide a lot of proteins to majority of Kenyans. Agricultural experts are devising mechanisms that can be used to make the country be one of the topmost producers of rice in the place.

            Rice consumption in the country has been a necessity as the statistics indicate that majority of families take it for lunch and situations that need food that is prepared in a more fast and cheap way. Rice has been noted to be the third most consumed in the country. Kenya produces a total of about 110,000tonnes but the average comes to about 30000tones making it necessary to import more rice. The above reasons have made it necessary for the rice farmers to look for ways of increasing the supply to the market. The major reason for encouraging the huge production of local rice is due to the fact that global prices keep fluctuating hence affecting the expenditure for many Kenyans.

Investment in IR522

The breed continues to do well and was made and created by the Kenya Agricultural Institute that had a long term partnership with the international rice research institute. The experts believed that the breed is so far the best breed that is currently in the rice market. The breed uses about 70percent less levels of water than other breeds hence needs less irrigation. It has additional nutritional benefits to the body. The rice has proved to be the most popular and effective breed of rice in the modern society. The government continues to get a helping hand from well wishers that have the intention of seeing the country improve in its level of rice production. Local and internal problems affecting farmers are being eradicated as a major way of encouraging the production.
