FORWARD

This farmers booklet on rearing dairy goats was written and prepared by

FARM Africa to aid farmers keep and maximumly benefit from dairy goats.

The booklet has been prepared using simple language that farmers can

understand. Hence the efforts to avoid technical language. Writers share

their project experiences with farmers.

The growing demand for dairy goats within and outside Kenya has prompt￾ed us to prepare this booklet for farmers who may acquire goats from the

FARM Africa project in Meru and need skills for rearing/keeping the goats.

Thorough and detailed information for those who may need can be

obtained from a book by FARM Africa's chief Executive, Dr. Christie

Peacock - Improving Goat Production in the Tropics.

Writer's of the booklet are Dr. Bonface K. Kaberia, Mr. Patrick Mutia, Mr.

Camillus Ahuya all of FARM Africa - Meru and Tharaka Nithi Dairy Goat

and animal Healthcare Project (1996 - 2003).

This booklet was produced in collaboration with Mediae.
