1.0 Overview
The role of agricultural sector in the Kenyan economy is paramount. The sector directly
accounts for 26 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP); and indirectly, for 27 per cent of
the GDP through linkages with manufacturing, distribution and other service related sectors,
annually. Further, it accounts for 65 percent of total exports and provides 18 per cent and 60
per cent of formal and total employment, respectively (Kenya Economic Report, 2014, KNBS,
2014). Thus, the sector is not only the driver the economy, but is also the main means of
livelihood for the majority of Kenyans; in particular, over 80 per cent of the rural population
(Vision 2030; ASDS, 2010; Ong’anya et al., 2012, KNBS, 2014).
In its study "African Agriculture: The Next 25 Years" (1986), the FAO concluded that Sub-
Saharan Africa (SSA) has the potential to increase its agricultural production if its potential is
properly mobilized. Evidence has shown that in Kenya, agriculture-led growth is more than
twice as effective in reducing poverty, as compared to growth led by industry (IFAD, 2013).
However, sustainable agricultural and rural development depends very much on the strength of
the national agricultural research systems (NARS). However, for development of the
Technologies, Innovations and Management Practices (TIMPs) that is appropriate, the research
agenda must take into account the characteristics of Kenya’s farming communities and their
ecological / environmental situation. It is to be noted that about 87% of the smallholder farmers
operate on land ranging from, less than one hectare to about two hectares.
The medium to high rainfall areas occupy about 20% of land area. This is where most arable
land activities take place and these areas support about 75% of the country’s population and in
about 15% of these areas have a population density in excess of 550 people per km2. The
farming communities in these areas generate about 60% of their income from farming
activities. Thus, farming constitutes the main source of their livelihoods and employment.
About 80% the remaining land mass is Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs), with low
agricultural production potential. Thus, there is need to find ways of enhancing the agricultural
productivity of the ASALs in Kenya to alleviate the excessive pressure on the land in the
medium to high rainfall areas.
2.0 Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project
The project will deliver on CSA’s “triple outcomes” through: (i) sustainable increase in
productivity and farm incomes (food security); (ii) enhanced resilience to impacts of climate
change and variability (adaptation); and (iii) reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per
unit of product, and increased carbon sequestration (mitigation).The utility of CSA then comes
in as a way of: (i) explicitly integrating productivity; adaptation; and mitigation planning,
implementation and monitoring, which are often done in isolation; and (ii) understanding of
expected outcomes of CSA investments on different beneficiaries and locations over time.
The project design would be informed by the following seven main principles:
(a) Prioritization of promising TIMPs and adoption to the relevant environments

(b) Scaling-up promising TIMPs
(c) Value chain (VC) approach – focusing on selected priority value chains in the project
counties
(d) Gender sensitivity – ensuring gender equity in distribution of resource and benefits.
(e) Nutrition informed
(f) Collaboration with other World Bank Group Agencies:
(g) Complementarity with other interventions:
KCSAP Component 2: Strengthening Climate-Smart Agricultural Research and Seed

Systems: The component will focus ob building strong research capacity and seed systems at
the national level is critical for achieving the CSA triple-win: increasing productivity, building
resilience and reducing GHG emissions per unit of product produced. Sub-component 2.2, i.e.
Building a Competitive and Sustainable Seed System; in particular, will support the crop,
livestock and aquaculture breeding programs; and the involvement of private sector and
communities in the production and distribution of commercial seed, with focus in ASAL
regions that receive less than 750 to 250 mm of rainfall per annum. Specifically, this
subcomponent will provide financial support to five thematic areas: (i) strengthening seed and
inputs retail networks; (ii) strengthening seed production systems; (iii) producing and
maintaining early generation seed; (iv) developing and advocating conducive legal framework
for seed; and (v) supporting a national Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) platforms on seed.
This component will therefore focus on supporting CSA research and innovations to develop
and deliver TIMPs to target communities; and build competitive and sustainable seed systems.
It will have three subcomponents: (i) supporting CSA research and innovations; (ii) building
competitive and sustainable seed systems; and (iii) strengthening technical capacity to
coordinate and deliver on research and seed system outputs.
3.0 Approach / Methodology

3.1 Presentations
Two main presentations were made as by Dr. E.C. Ikitoo as follows:
(a) Objectives and expectations of the climate smart agriculture TIMPs inventory
workshop.
(b) Definitions and basic requirements for determination of TIMPs.
3.2 Summary of Presentation 1
The preparation of the TIMPs consiredered the following CSA Research Priorities
(a) Reliable, downscaled climate and weather forecasts.
(b) Country-specific emission factors’.
(c) An understanding of the change in the greenhouse gas balance and other impacts
brought about by the integration of livestock and/or fish farming, conservation
agriculture and planting trees on farms and in the landscape.
(d) Evidence of mitigation options offered by alternative energy sources.
(e) Evidence of adaptation and resilience building arising from use of downscaled agro
weather information and advisories.
(f) Appropriate inputs to advance CSA, evidence of reduced GHG emissions through
alternative energy sources in larger value chain analyses.
(g) Emission factors from livestock and aquaculture in integrated farming systems
including livestock and conservation agriculture with trees interactions.
(h) Incentives for manure management, reliable climate forecasts, greater understanding
and implementation of appropriate finances and insurance schemes and raising
greater awareness at farmer level.
(i) Identification and assessment of resilience measurements and indicators
3.3 Summary of Presentation 2
(a) Technology - Definition: It is an output of a research process which is beneficial to
the target clientele (mainly farmers in our case). Technology can be commercialized
and can be patented under intellectual property rights (IPR) arrangements. Examples
include research outputs such crop varieties, livestock breeds, livestock vaccines, new
equipment, models, etc.
(b) Complementary Technology - Definition: It is any accompanying information on
practice(s) that is considered necessary for a technology to achieve its optimum output.
Example 1: Different agronomic practices (seeding rates, fertilizer application rates,
spatial arrangements, planting period, land preparation, watering regimes, etc), value
addition, protection methods, post-harvest handling, etc for crops. Example 2:
Different feed rations, management systems, disease control methods, etc for animal
breeds.
NOTE: Complementary technologies are important information which is generated through
research to accompany the parent technology before it is finally released to users and the
technology would be incomplete without this information.
(c) Innovation - Definition: Is a modification of an existing technology for an entirely
different use from the original intended use. It is the application of new or existing
knowledge and/or technology in new way or context, in order to do something in a
better way or differently. Examples Set 1: (a) Fireless cooker modified to be used as a
hatchery, (b) Dyeing chicks to make them unattractive kites, (c) Top working fruit trees
instead of using grafted seedlings and (d) Transplanting finger millet instead of direct
seeding. Examples Set 2: (a) The recommended seeding and fertilizer rates for sorghum
may be different in the coastal and western region due to the biophysical characteristics
and (b) Most of the adaptive research work will be classified as knowledge.
(d) Information/knowledge – Definition: This is generated by adaptation trials which are
site specific. A technology can be acquired by a KALRO centre from outside the
country, from other KALRO centres or other national research institutions and taken
through adaptability trials to evaluate and fine-tune it to fit with the bio-physical and
socio-economic circumstances within the mandate areas of the KALRO Centre.
The resulting recommendations are classified as knowledge, since they enlighten the target
clientele in the particular area on a certain best practice(s).

short duration varieties with farmer preferred traits give two and three harvests per year
respectively. These grow with rainfall ranges of 800-1200mm per year. Mung bean varieties
that are adapted to the ASAL areas. The green gram varieties (N26 and KS20) are the most
common. The yellow grams are not well distributed. Remarks: Considered a food security
crops. Mang demand has increased due to the program on Support India Trade (SITA) requires
large volumes of the grain.
2.
Description: These are early maturing flowering within 35-40days, grows with 800-1200mm
of rainfall per year. They are popular in the local and export market. Demand for yellows is at
30,000MTm reds 5,000MT per year. Remarks: Marketing is critical.
3.
Description: These are beans adapted to medium and high rainfall areas tolerant to diseases
especially root rot which is a major problem in these areas. Remarks: More dissemination
needed.
4.
Description: Early maturing flowering within 35-40 days grows with 800-1200mm of rainfall
per year. The grain is white and required by canning factories. Remarks: More dissemination
needed.
5.
Description: A determinate bush bean variety, resistant to most of bean diseases. It takes
approx. 90 days to physiological maturity. Grain yield: 2.4 t/ha per season. It’s a sugar bean
with high export potential especially to Sourh Africa. Remarks: High yielding bean variety, -
demanded in the market.
6.
Description: Drought tolerant short maturing cowpeas. They will grow with 400 -1200mm of
rainfall. They are among the most drought tolerant legumes. Remarks: Adapted to a wide
agro-ecological zone.
7.
Description: In some ASALs the cowpea parasitic weed has really affected cowpea
production. Several varieties that are tolerant / resistant have been tested. Remarks: These
varieties are drought tolerant.
8.
Description: Early maturing variety that is drought tolerant with rainfall of 600-1200 mm per
year, Matures in 3-4 months with an yield 0f 3-4tons per hectare. Remarks: Organising
farmers into marketing groups.
9.
Description: Good flavor, short cooking time, early maturity, cream seeded, nice flavor, short
cooking time, early maturity, cream seeded. Remarks: Promotion of the varieties required.
10.
Description: Research has developed advanced dolichos lines which are early maturing and
have determinate growth habit. These are the first determinate bush varieties in Kenya which
are suitable for intercropping system. The early maturity (less than 90 days) of these lines is
suitable for drought escape in areas with depressed rainfall. Remarks: To be evaluated in
different agro-ecological zones and cropping systems in Kenya.
11.
Description: Research has developed chickpea varieties that are high yielding, large seeded
and adapted to the ASAL areas. Processing companies e.g. TruFood Ltd have been canning
chickpea but availability of raw material locally is erratic hence importation from Ethiopia.
Quality supplied to the industry poor (mixed) hence no premium prices. Remarks: Regional
and international market for chickpea exist.
12.
Description: Early weeding is very important for increased production. Lack of competing
activities at weeding time and lack of enough labor has led to late weeding of these crops. The
private sector has developed herbicides that are used at 2-4 leave stage. Remarks: Testing the
herbicide across various regions is needed. Demos and promotion is also required.
13.
Description: Recommended for control of whiteflies in beans. Remarks: To be up scaled to
use in ASALs of legumes belts To be up scaled to use in ASALs of legumes belts.
14.
Description: Charcoal rot is a serious disease in dry areas. The disease causes wilting and
death bean seedlings and plants. A combination of recommended seed dressing chemicals,
clean seed selection and good tillage practices can drastically reduce bean yield losses
resulting from this disease. Remarks: To reduce dry legume grain losses caused by charcoal
rot disease To reduce dry legume grain losses caused by charcoal rot disease.
15.
Description: Some of the maize growing regions in the country are targeted for increased
production of beans and other legumes especially to meet the local and export market. Short
season early maturing, high yielding and disease tolerant varieties are available e.g (KAT B1,

DESCRIPTION AND REMARKS
17.
Description: Peal millet is an early maturing drought tolerant crop grown by farmers for food
security in Semi-arid areas and can grow with up to 200mm rainfall. Processing companies eg East
Africa Malting Ltd has tested and would like pearl millet grain as a raw material. For farmer groups
this will lead to increased production, incomes and social changes due to the increased market.
Remarks: There is need simple mechanization for planting, and threshing /winnowing
18.
Description: An early maturing; blast tolerant, striga tolerant, lodging resistant and drought
tolerant. The variety has brown grain colour, purple pigmentation. Remarks: Adapted to a wide
area. 900-1700 and 900 – 2000 masl.
19.
Description: High yields, Super Early (75 days) and blast resistant. Remarks: Bird damage and
increased labour for processing on farm needs looking into.
20.
Description: Use of sorghum by EABL since 2009, as a raw material has led to increased demand
for sorghums. It has created a ready market and thus more production is required. The varieties vary
for the various regions from dry hot lowlands, cold dry highlands and Lake region. Remarks: The
demand for sorghum by EAML has increased 30,000 tons per month; they have contracted 1200
farmers in ASALS to grow white sorghum. The farmers will require high yielding varieties.
21.
Description: This is a hybrid sorghum, brown large seed, sweet stems (15+%Brix which increases
after harvesting heads), high extractable starch (77.4%), drought tolerance, early to medium
maturity flowering 56-59 and 100-110 days to maturity. Remarks There is increased demand for
brown sorghum has also increased due to increased use of sorghum as animal / chicken feed
formulation. In some counties. Some of the priority value chains for is poultry and this has led to
higher demand of cheap feed hence the use of sorghum by feed processors.
22.
Description: Good quality malting and brewing sorghum ,Stalks rich in energy when used as
animal feed, good baking quality bread when composed with wheat flour. Remarks: Seed
production of the variety needs to be increased.
23.
Description: Study on grain yield salvage when sorghum is harvested at soft dough (full-cream)
stage has resulted in over 90% yield saving in eastern Kenya where birds cause 100% loss (Mutisya
et al, in review). This gives a promising option to farmers who grow the crop in isolated farms and
birds are a menace. Drying in the open environment above soil contamination enhances prevention
against Aflatoxin. Remarks: Ready market (EABL), suitable as feed for livestock in ASALs
24.
Description: Study on right time to apply insecticide against bollworm has been determined to be at
early soft dough stage (deep-green) before the insect pest start feeding on the ripening grain. Late
spraying was found to >35% yield loss, while spray led to < 10% (Mutisya et al, in review) even
with heavy insect infestation, in eastern Kenya. Remarks: Improves food security.

KEN 00-5873. Remarks: The increase in national demand for sugar requires that these varieties be
validated for marginal areas such as Tana River and Kerio valley where test sites were tried before.
Given the deficit moisture (sugarcane requires an annual rainfall over 1500 mm) in this enterprise
would suffice under supplemental irrigation. Additionally, there is low adoption rate for these
varieties (at 29%) by small holder farmers due to inadequate dissemination mechanisms. There is
need to validate and promote these varieties respectively for Tana river County under irrigation and
among small holder farmers in sugarcane growing counties.
48.
Description: Commercially available coffee varieties that are high yielding and quality, and resistant
to major coffee diseases. They include: Ruiru 11 and Batian varieties. They are grown in both areas

irrigation for coffee farmers in areas where supplemental irrigation is used. However the uptake is
low. Remarks: There is need to promote this technology for appropriate irrigation in marginal areas.
53.
Description: The manure possesses both macro and micronutrients essential for farming. The high
potassium content makes the crops more resilient to pests. The manure is also excellent in retaining
soil moisture in dry areas. Remarks: There is need to promote this technology among small holder
farmers.
54.
Description: This involves adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, investment in management
of water catchments and water harvesting technologies, integration of agro forestry in agriculture.

innovative processing technologies; domestic blending and re-branding of Kenyan tea, research
support for product development; promotion of local tea consumption; diversification of Kenya’s tea
export markets; promotion of carbon labeling/certification. Remarks: These technologies have not
been validated and commercialized due to weak legal frameworks. There is need to strengthen legal
frameworks to support development, validation and promotion of these technologies.
57.
Description: The technology seeks to increase access to climate information for farmer, to map crop
husbandry and land suitability for growing diverse crops; provide institute crop insurance scheme;
and to monitor and measure carbon footprint in tea, coffee and sugarcane industry. Remarks: There
is however inadequate data on crops and their geo physical environment. There is need for updating
the database with current information for appropriate decision making and promotion of the
technology to small holder farmers in coffee, sugarcane and tea and industry at large.
58.
Description: This technology enhances reduction of GHG emissions through adoption of energy
efficient technologies; promotion of agro forestry; research on alternative sources of energy such as
wind, solar & hydro and improve road infrastructure. There is however low uptake due to inadequate
dissemination mechanisms. Remarks: There is need to promote the technology among small holder
farmers in coffee, sugarcane and tea.
59.
Description: These models are used for predicting and monitoring stress occurrences, crop yield,
land use and changes, adaptability and suitability of the crop to the natural agro environmental

1.
Description: The KALRO improved chicken is dual purpose (egg and meat). It gives the first egg
at 4.5 months of age, produces 180-280 eggs and the males attain 2 kg live-weight in about 5
months. Remarks: Demand for day old chicks (DOC) and fertile eggs outstrips supply and there is
need to expand KALRO’s production capacity and develop public private partnerships to produce
DOC. It is ready for upscaling. The breed will fit and perform well in the 24 counties under this
project. The high productivity will reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of product. Should
be upscaled
2.
Description: KALRO has developed higher yielding soya bean varieties (SB 19 and SB 8) with
yields of 1.7 tonnes per Ha compared to 300kg from currently available varieties. These varieties
have high crude protein (38% CP) and therefore suitable for use in Non-Ruminant feeds. Soya
bean is the preferred protein source for Non-Ruminant animals. The ration will be 66% maize or
cereal milling by-products, 30% soya 3% DCP and 1% mineral mix. This ration needs to be
tested for animal performance. Remarks: All the soya used in livestock feeds in this country is
imported and the major component of GHG emission in poultry is in feed production and
transportation. Therefore, imported soya has a higher carbon footprint and producing local will
reduce this. Efficient feed utilizations reduce Ammonia production and hence Nitrous oxide so
high quality protein from soya will improve utilization. Requires validation
3.
Description: An MS-Excel based computer poultry feed formulation programme available and
can formulate feeds based on locally available materials. However, at the moment the ingredients
whose chemical composition is available is limited. Therefore, there is need to analyze more
ingredients compile them into a database that will then be used in the feed formulation.
Application of technical knowledge on feed formulation, resulting in the use of locally available
ingredients to formulate high quality feeds and mix using locally fabricated manual mixers.
Remarks: Encourage growing of production of drought tolerant multi-purpose crops for optimal
IC feed rations; High feed conversion efficiency to reduce GHG emissions per unit of product.
Should be upscaled
4.
Description: The Naivasha long feeder is wedge shaped and is made from galvanized flat iron
and timber and has the following dimensions: width at the bottom 4” and 9” at the top and 39”. It
has a smooth rounded stick that prevents the birds from patching on the feeder and contaminating
the feed and an inward folded rim that prevents the birds from spilling feed. It has flat wooden
stands about 9” on either end to make it stable and prevent birds knocking it over. For detailed
description see the brochure on https//www.facebooks.com/DalucPoultry
farm/posts/907659169265968. Remarks: Using conventional feeders, feed wastage could be as
high as 20% in poultry if the appropriate feeders are not used, the simple feeding trough reduces
feed wastage and contamination which leads health issues. More than 70% of GHG emission in
poultry is in feed production so more efficient use will reduce emissions. Should be upscaled
5.
Description: This is a feed formulation based on Black Soldier Fly (BSF) and silk worm pupae.
The composition is made depending on the class of birds to be feed but the inclusion of BSF is at
between 5-10%. Remarks: The feed is being tested at KALRO NRI Naivasha centre. The high
protein from the insects will improve FCR. There is need to evaluate other insects like termites,
fly maggots, earth worms High quality feeds result in low FCR and therefore low GHG emission
per unit of product. This need further research but preliminary results with layers and broilers
show great potential. There is need to develop bulk insect production systems to scale from small
research units to commercial levels. Use of non- conventional protein sources will reduce the
need to use fertilizers to produce poultry feeds hence reduced emissions. Need to be validated
6.
Description: Feed additive are important in improving the efficiency of fed utilization in pig and
poultry. However, anti-biotic additives have been banned and adding high quality protein in pig
feeds will improve FCR and reduce GHG per unit of product. Feed formulated using maize and
improved soya bean from KALRO. The feed formulation will be 70% maize or cereal by-
products and 30% soya bean meal. This formulation need to be validated. Remarks: The pig
production system in Western Kenya is a low input system and therefore has a high GHG
emissions per Kg of pork produced. There is need to develop a supplementation system that will
improve growth and reduce emissions. Despite the potential that pigs have in tackling poverty,
nutrition and provide manure for crop production there has been no investment in pig research
over the last three decades and there is need to build KALRO capacity to carry out good pig
research. KALRO will be working with ILRI to transfer some of the technologies it is
disseminated in Uganda. Require validation
7.
Description: The thermostable NCD vaccine will remain efficacious for a period at room (23-40 0
C). The thermostable Newcastle disease virus vaccine based on I-2 virulent vaccine was
developed in Australia and tested in Kenya. Remarks: Newcastle disease (NCD) is the major
health constraint in poultry production and while vaccines are available they require a continuous
cold chain which is difficult to maintain in the ASAL areas. Over 5 Million doses have been
produced and marketed by KEVEVAPI. There is need to popularize the vaccine in the target
counties in KCSAP. Low mortality will reduce the emission of GHG per unit of product. Should
be upscaled
8.
Description: Improved low-cost brooder and runner. Fabricated box lined with insulation material
to retain heat for brooding chicks (Cold brooding). Attached to a runner made of wire mesh that
protects chicks from predators. Remarks: Reduced use of non-renewable energy like charcoal,
through use of solar energy. It should be further validated by NARs.
9.
Description: The clay oven brooder is a compartment extended from the earthen jiko in kitchen.
The heat from the jiko diffuses into the compartment where the chicks are brooding low cost
brooding. Brooding chicks using heat retained from the cooking jiko around the kitchen hearth.
Remarks: Efficient use of non-renewable energy. To be further validated by NARs.
10.
Description: Synchronized hatching is a natural incubation management practice that allows the
farmer have five or more hens hatching chicks at the same time for ease of chick management.
As he hens will became broody at different times the farmer puts a dummy egg in each nest to
make sure the broody hen sits. The farmer will do this until 5 or more hens are sitting on dummy
eggs and then introduce 10-15 eggs for each hen so that the chicks will hatch on the same day.
So instead of rearing 10-15 chicks from one hen then the farmer can rear 50 or more chicks at
the same time. Remarks: Increase management efficiency by bringing a number of hens to lay
eggs, brood and hatch at the same time so that many chicks are reared at a go for economies of
scale; and, for faster and convenient increase of flock size. Climate smart and enables farmers to
meet volumes required by the markets. Saves on energy costs for brooding. Should be upscaled
11.
Description: IC housing adapted for ASAL areas. Model IC house built with provisions for the
following: greater air-flow and partitioning for different classes of birds; biosecurity practices,
isolation pen, disinfection, predator proof, opening in back wall for accessing eggs from laying
nests. The house should be constructed using locally available material including timber, off-
cuts, clay bricks, reeds and thatching grass. The size of the house will depend on the number of
chicken but allow a M 2 for 5 birds. In a rectangular house the shorter walls should face East –
West. The solid wall should have a height of 3ft and the ventilation (made from mesh wire
and/or chicken) 4ft. Make sure the site is well drained and flat or use a raised from (for details
see the KALRO-Technoserve training manual): Reduces mortality, increases productivity, and
reduces GHG emissions per unit product. Should be upscaled.
12.
Description: A plastic crate made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with solid base and
reinforced plastic bars on 3 sides and has an integrated door on top of the lid to give more room.
They are stackable. Come in several sizes but a 750mm x 580mm x 280 mm can carry about 15
mature chicken. Can be cleaned and disinfected. It is durable. Remarks: Improves animal
transport practices. Reduces deaths during transportation therefore reduces GHG emissions and
enhances incomes. Should be up-scaled

Description: Involves oestrus synchronization using hormones and artificial insemination with AI
utilizing sexed semen or community bull schemes, genomic tools for early selection of breeding
animals with economically important dairy traits such as Sahiwal for ASALs. Remarks: Replacement
stock is a major challenge in expanding dairy in the country. Use of ART offer the solution in rapid
multiplication of climate resilient breeds for ASALs. Ready for upscaling.
14.
Description: The Sahiwal Friesian cross maintained at 75:25 to 50:50 can survive well in ASALs.
The cross breed is tolerant to pests and diseases and is fast growing. Remarks: The Sahiwal/Friesian
cross can be kept in more marginal areas and will produce up to 20 litres per day in these areas with
minimal supplementation. The milk production is high considering the national average is 5-7 litres
per day
15.
Description: The mobile calf pen-a portable calf pen made from locally available building materials,
with feeding and watering with dimensions of 4ft x4ft x 5ft Remarks:. Reduces risk of scours, pest
build up and associated calf mortality. The pen is appropriate in extensive systems. It will improve
survival rates of calves in ASALs. Ready for upscaling
16.
Description: The EM-fortified Early Weaning Diet – is a Least-cost milk replacer diet composed of 11
ingredients i. Maize bran, ii. Maize germ, iii. Wheat pollard, IV. Soya meal, v. Omena
(Rastrineobola argetea common name –Silver cyprinid), VI. Cotton seed cake, vii. Sunflower seed
meal, viii. Stockfeed lime, ix. Common table salt (NaCl), x. Vitamin and Mineral mix, xi. Dicalcium
phosphate, mixed in ratios to achieve the following chemical composition; Energy – 11MJkg -1, Crude
Protein – 23%, Crude fibre – 9.1%, Calcium – 0.9%, Total phosphorus – 1.5% and Crude fat –
3.05%. The Early Weaning Diet (EWD) is then fortified with Effective Microorganisms (EM).
Remarks: The least cost milk replacer reduces the cost of rearing dairy calves and reduces the age at
weaning to 28 days from 105 days (or 3.5 months witnessed in well managed farms or 6 months in
average farms). The technology substantially improves gross margins of rearing calves (by a factor of
800). Promotion of the technology has potential of releasing milk for sale and income generation.
There is need to partner with private sector for commercial production. (Requires validation and
commercialisation)
17.
Description: Involves mixing conventional and locally available feed ingredients to make a local
dairy meal. The final formulation should have a minimum of 16% crude protein. An MS-Excel based
computer feed formulation programme available and can formulate feeds based on locally available
materials. However, at the moment the ingredients whose chemical composition is available is
limited. Therefore, there is need to analyze more ingredients compile them into a database that will
then be used in the feed formulation. (Remarks: Reduces cost of feeding by up to 10% and increased
milk yield by 15-20%. Farmers can use locally available materials to make rations. Requires to be
validated in more counties considering diversity of feed resources
18.
Description: Crushed Lupin seeds mixed with ground maize at a ratio 1:3. 1kg of the ration is
equivalent to 1 kg of commercial dairy meal. Remarks: Reduces the cost of dairy supplementation.
Increases feed efficiency thus low GHG emissions. Requires validation (performance in target
areas, animal response experiments and seed bulking).
19.
Description: Improvement of nutritive value of cereal crop based residues in livestock for dry season
feeding – cereal crop residues like maize, wheat, rice or oat are mixed with legumes like Desmodium,
Lucerne, Lucaena, Sesbania, Gliricidia at a ratio of 70:30. Additives like molasses can be added to
enhance feed intake. Remarks: Enhancing efficiency of cereal based (maize, wheat, rice, oat) residues
using legumes (Desmodium, Lucerne, Calliandra), and agro-industrial by-products (maize bran,
maize germ, wheat bran) for feeding dairy cattle. Feed intake is enhanced leading to less wastage and
low GHG emission. Should be up-scaled
20.
Description: Waste from poultry is sun-dried and mixed with an energy source like maize or maize
bran in the ratio 2:3 to make a dairy ration. The poultry has a high crude protein of 25-30% Remarks:
Improves efficiency and hence reduces GHG emissions. Requires validation
21.
Description: Inoculation of poor quality crop residues with EM (Effective microorganisms).
Remarks: Improves digestibility and intake and thus reduce GHG emissions from animals. The
product has agribusiness potential for marginalized groups. Should be validated
22.
Description: Prosopis spp based fortified feed supplement – made from cactus, maize bran, ground
prosopis pods, and cement as a bidder to make a feed block. The block has 12% crude protein and 11
MJ of energy. Remarks: Controls worms (80% compared to control) and improves performance of
livestock in dry lands. This a tool for management of Prosopis as an invasive plants. .Technology
needs to be commercialized after validation. Need to be validated.
23.
Description: This is a by-product of cotton seed processing high in crude protein (40.8%), and used
as a supplement to livestock (especially ruminants). However presence of gossypol limits its use to
non-ruminants. Remarks: On-station study with zebu cattle used at 300-500g/day/animal doubled
live weight gain. Good supplement to poor quality hay in dry season. (Requires validation under
farmer conditions)
24.
Description: Prosopis juliflora pods – are fruiting bodies of the invasive tree and are cylindrical
(bean-like) 20 to 30 cm long and contain between 10 and 30 seeds per pod. A mature tree can
produce hundreds of thousands of seeds. Ripe pods are highly palatable; on dry matter basis they
contain 12% crude protein, 15% free sugar, a moderate level of digestible crude protein (7% DCP)
with a high level of energy (75% TDN). The pods contain low tannin levels below those toxic to
animals. Remarks: The pods can be milled into flour and used to formulate feed rations. Pod removal
and milling reduces spread of the invasive plant. This can be potential cottage industry for youth.
(To be up-scalled)
25.
Description: Acacia tortilis pods – These are fruiting bodies of the tree, which are yellow-brown,
pubescent, spirally twisted, slightly constricted between the seeds, circular in cross-section, 7.15 to
15 cm long, 0.6 to 0.8 cm thick. The pods are high in CP, 15.4% and readily available dry seasons in
ASALs. Remarks: Feed supplement during dry season at 600-1000g/animal per day. It improves feed
utilization. Can be fed either as whole pods or milled into course meal and used in ration
formulations efficiency. (Requires validation)
26.
Description: This is a mixture of low quality crop residues with browse species such as Combretum
exalatum & Duosperma kilimandscharica to formulate balanced feed ration. Remarks: The browse
species used shall depend on what is locally available in the target counties. This is more used during
the dry seasons and droughts to minimize negative effects of poor quality of feeds on livestock
productivity. (Requires validation in target counties)
27.
Description: Oat is an annual grass grown either for seed or forage. Oats in Kenya are
recommended for upper and lower highlands with over 2100m above sea level. It can be cut and
carried for hay or silage making. Harvesting is done at milk or early dough stages. DM yield varies
from 4 to 15 t/ha. It is grown in mixtures with vetch. Common vetch is a legume used as grazed or
conserved forage. It is an annual scrambling or climbing plant that can be planted in upper highlands
to upper midlands in Kenya. CP values are up to 20 %. Vetch smother weeds hence saving on labour.
Remarks: Appropriate in low temperature and frost prone areas such as Nyandarua, Nyeri, Taita
Taveta and Kericho Counties. Should be validated in ASALs
28.
Description: Napier grass tolerant to head smut (Kakamega 1 &2) or stunting diseases (Ouma, SA3).
Nutritive value of Napier grass varies with the harvesting stage but the following are averages:
Digestibility 54-68%, Crude protein 8-12%, Dry Matter yield 12-40 tonnes/ha. Remarks: Promotion
of these varieties in ASAL and Non-ASAL areas using Tumbukiza /Zai pits method. Needs
validation
29.
Description: Protein rich fodder trees (Calliandria, Leucaena, Gliricidia) and herbaceous legumes
(Desmodium, Mucuna, Siratro, Stylosanthes) intercropping with Napier grass to improve on quality
of feeds for dairy cattle. Remarks: Improved quality of feeds reduces GHG emissions. Use of the
intercrop will increase milk yield in ASALs and improve soil fertility hence less use of inorganic
fertilizer. These are several technologies. For details of how to intercrop refer to the EAAPP
inventory of technologies. Should be up-scaled.
30.
Description: Ensiling Napier grass-legume mix and, molasses/maize bran/cassava in polythene bags.
Chopped Napier grass and mix with a legume (Desmodium, Lucerne, lucaena, sesbania, Gliricidia) at
a rate of 70:30). Mix thoroughly, add molasses at ration of 100Kg to 1Kg of molasses diluted in 1
Litre of water to make a syrup. Sprinkle the syrup on the 100kg feed and mix thoroughly again. Put
material into the silage bag as you compact to exclude as much air as possible. Tie the bag from the
top and store in a rodent free area (see item). Remarks: Legume use enhances nutritive quality of the
feed. Ensiling takes care of dry season livestock feeding. Refer to EAAPP inventory of technologies.
Should be up-scaled in agro-pastoral areas.
31.
Description: Bag Silage: Use polythene tubes gauge 1000. The length of the tube should be
approximately 1½ M long. Tie one end of the tube tightly and turn the tube inside out so that the knot
is inside the bag. Chop Napier grass or the material being ensiled into small pieces (an inch or
smaller). Dilute molasses with (1:1) and wet the chopped Napier grass and mix thoroughly. Put the
material in the bag making sure you compact after every layer. Fill the bag leaving about 1ft tie the
top tightly. Place some weights on the top of the bag. The 1½ bag will conserve about 300-350 kg.
The silage should be used during the dry season. Remarks: Ensiling does not improve but maintains
the quality of the conserved feed so Napier for ensiling should be harvested at 1 metre height when
the quality if high. Should be up-scaled
32.
Description: Above Ground silage: Make the silage on ground that is slightly sloping. Cut 2 sheets of
polythene sheet about 10 metres (the length will depend on the amount of material to be ensiled). Lay
the polythene sheets side but with an overlay of about a ft. Chop Napier grass or the material being
ensiled into small piece (an inch or smaller). Dilute molasses with (1:1) and wet the chopped Napier
grass and mix thoroughly. Spread thin layers of the material on the polythene sheet, leaving enough
space on the side of the polythene and compact using a weight (a 200 litre drum filled with water can
be used to compact). After every layer of material added compact thoroughly. Fold the polythene to
cover the material and more polythene sheets as required to cover the material. Cover with a 6” layer
of soil add some weights (stones, old tyres etc.). Remarks: When a farmers has more than a tonne of
material to conserve then it is more economical to make above ground silage. The material should be
feed during the dry season. Should be up-scaled
33.
Description: Is a floating fern that grows in symbiotic relationship with a blue green algae
(anabaena), which fixes atmospheric nitrogen. It is this relationship that makes the plant rich in
nitrogen. Azolla is very rich in proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin B12 and
Beta- Carotene), growth promoter intermediaries and minerals like calcium, phosphorous, potassium,
ferrous, copper, magnesium etc. On a dry weight basis, it contains 25 - 35 percent protein. The
carbohydrate and fat content of Azolla is very low. Its nutrient composition makes it a highly
efficient and effective feed for livestock. Remarks: Azolla is harvested from paddy rice plots and
there is need to determine the effect of this on rice yields and also develop azolla production systems
that can supply the feed industry with raw materials. (Needs further research)
34.
Description: Incorporates biogas production and use of manure slurry in forage crops fields to
promote nutrient cycling and waste management in small holder farms with zero grazing. Remarks:
Important in clean energy production, managing effluent from zero grazing units, improving Napier
quality to reduce on GHG emissions. Ready for upscaling.

Description: The strategy involves capacity building of chain actors and supporters on milk
hygiene and handling. In addition, the strategy entails demonstrating the effectiveness of using
improved containers in hauling milk from production to markets, introducing simple
technologies for value addition to enhance product diversification based on demand, introducing
business model for marketing camel milk. Remark: The strategy aims at enhancing efficiency of
milk marketing. Needs upscaling
40.
Description: Camel ghee is a light golden brown clarified butter made by heating fresh hygienic
camel milk to 60oC, then separating milk in cream separator. The cream is boiled, cooled to
room temperature and allowed to settle overnight. The fermented cream is then beaten until it
separates after which butter milk is sieved. The residue is further cooked till all the milk particles
turn brown. This is cooled before packaging into sterile containers preferably bottles. Remarks:
can be useful as a business venture marginalized groups. Needs to be upscaled.
41.

and equipment used are sterilized with hot water and the person handling meat is also clean and
in white apron and head gear put on. (b) Using a sharp sterile knife, trim off meat of fatty tissues.
Cut the lean into strips and dip into salty water (c). Hung the meat strips in an environment free
of dust and flies and Let dry (d). Once completely dry, cut into small pieces ready for deep
frying. (e). Frying of the small pieces enhances the keeping quality of and palatability of the
final Nyirinyiri, add spice if desired (f). Cool the fried nyirinyiri /Lakuli to a room temperature
and pack in sterile bottle/plastic jars with tightly closing covers (g). Label the packaged product
with specific consumer instruction/information use. Remarks: Value addition to enhance market
access, income generation and resilience. Needs upscaling
42.
Description: Wet salting entails: Placing skins and hides flesh side up immediately after
slaughter in a sheltered area, spreading salt at approximately 30% of the weight of the skin on
the flesh side. The next skin is then placed on top and again salted on the flesh side such that
both sides of the skin are in contact with salt. About 50 skins can be safely stack in one pile
without causing damage to those lower in the pile. One has to ensure that the salt is uniformly
spread and applied on each area of the skin/hide. It takes 21 days for curing to be complete, but
for hotter climates such as northern Kenya, it may take lesser time. Remarks: The quality of the
skin and hides is better than the sun dried one. By helping the pastoralists to make money from
the otherwise would be wasted hides & skins; the technology makes them more resilient. It will
be a good business venture for the youth and women. Need to be upscaled
43.
Description: This is an information package about camel breeds in Kenya. Turkana (live weight
– 250 to 350 kg milk yield – 1.5l/d lowest feeder), predominantly grayish in coat color and the

44.
Description: Information package. Breed young females and males by ensuring that age of
breeding male does not exceed 13 years while a female should not exceed 6 parities/calving.
Control inbreeding by ensuring that the bull does not mate closely related females and also
through timely replacement of breeding bulls when their F1 daughters are sexually mature.
Propagate desired traits in a camel herd through a breeding bull and not females. Remarks:
Reduces chances of inbreeding and maintaining production potential. Ready for upscaling
45.
Description: Young ram lambs and goat bucks are castrated at 4 months of age using the
burdizzo or rubber band methods. This eliminates excess intact young bucks and rams between
the ages of 4-12 months responsible for inbreeding. The Northern Kenya community normally
castrates at one year old due to perceived lower weight gain at maturity. Reduction of the time
by eight months was found not to affect weight gain significantly. Remarks: The technology
reduces inbreeding related mortality which makes the pastoralists more resilient. It is applicable
in arid counties
46.
Description: Two rehydration therapies were developed. These are (1) Rehydrating the calves
using a mixture of honey (3 table spoonfuls) table salt (1½ table spoonfuls) and water (3 litres).

61.
Description: Describe the MUMBS: Remarks: Limited quantities of anthelmintics in the block
helps control chronic helminthosis in sheep and goats. The blocks is rich in proteins. Minerals in
the block improve digestibility of roughages. Feed is a challenge in the ASALs which has been
complicate by climate risks. Requires further research
62.
Description: Strategic worm control involves application of anthelmintics when worm
infestation risk is high. Remarks: It is reliant on climatic conditions. The strategy reduces
selection pressure for anthelmintic resistance. It should be upscaled.
63.
Description. It is a technique for detecting worm infestation in animals. The faecal sample is
rinsed in a saline solution and strongyle eggs float to the surface. The sample is observed under
at X40 under light microscope. Egg counts beyond a certain level>500/g in cattle; 1000/g in
sheep and goats indicates serious worm burden. Remarks: Has been used widely for diagnosis
especially of strongyles. Indication of worms leads to growth losses and can be used to inform
decision making on control strategies. It is also used for coccidiosis diagnosis in poultry. It
should be upscaled
64.
Description. It is a technique for detecting worm infestation in animals. The Faecal sample is
mixed with saline and eggs sediment at the bottom. The eggs are then stained with methylene
blue and observed under the microscope at X40. Remarks. The mere detection of eggs indicates
infestation with Fasciola (liver flukes). The test can also diagnose schizotomes. These parasites
lead to meat condemnation and major losses due to parasitism. Diagnosis can lead to informed
control strategies. It should be upscaled.
65.
Description: It is a computerized technique for detecting anthelminthic resistance in animals.
Macmaster Floatation technique is performed as before. A group which is treated with
anthelmintic is compared with an untreated group. A computer application is used to calculate
the egg reduction by the use of the drug. A level that is less than 95 % indicates that the
helminths have become resistant to the anthelmintic .Remarks: Overuse/underuse of particular
anthelmintic leads to resistance and loss of money by pastoralists. It should be upscaled.
66. 8
Description. It is a technique for detecting presence of trypanosomes. A blood drop is obtained
from the ear vein and spread on a glass slide. It is spread out as a thick blood smear. It is stained
with methylene blue and examined for parasites under a microscope at X100 magnification.
Remarks: It provides a quick diagnsosis for trypanosomes in ruminants. Trypanosomes lead to
acute or chronic weight losses and high mortalities. Appropriate use of this diagnosis can lead to
timely intervention, increased productivity and reduced GHG emissions. Appropriate use of the
technology. It should be upscaled.
67.
Description. It is a technique for detecting presence of tick borne diseases. A blood drop is
obtained from the ear vein and spread on a glass slide as a thin blood smear. It is stained with
methylene blue and examined for parasites under a microscope at X100 magnification Remarks:
It provides a quick diagnosis for Babesiosis, Theileria parva (cause of East coast Fever) and
Anaplasmosis in ruminants. These are the major parasites that reduce ruminant productivity.
Appropriate use of this diagnosis can lead to timely intervention, increased productivity and
reduced GHG emissions. It should be upscaled.
68.
Description: Elisa Rapid Kit is a kit for detecting presence of Teania solium, a tapeworm. A
blood drop is obtained from the ear vein in pigs. The blood is placed in microplates coated with
antibodies to Taenia Solium. A positive test turns brown in colour. Remarks. Teania solium
affects humans and is a major problem in pig rearing areas. Quick diagnosis can lead to
treatment of pigs and prevention of human infection as well as increased productivity of the pigs.
Requires validation
69.
Description: The technique is for screening for Salmonella. A blood drop is obtained from the
wattle of the chicken and placed on a slide and mixed with stained salmonella antigen . Remarks:
Agglutination indicates that the chicken is infected with Salmonella spp. Salmonella spp causes
heavy mortality in chickens and reduces productivity. Should be upscaled.
70.
Description: It is a technique for checking for cleanliness in camel milk. Camel milk samples are
obtained aseptically and bacteria isolated on blood agar. The bacteria are identified by using
colony morphology and biochemical tests (catalyse test, nitrate test, among others) Remarks.
Samples obtained from Wajir, Garissa, and West Pokot indicated that the most common
pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus with prevalence of 36.0% followed by gram-negative
Escherichia coli with prevalence of 27.2% Streptococcus agalactiae & Staphylococcus
epidermidis were the third predominant isolates with prevalence of 9.6% each. Micrococcus spp
& Pseudomonas were the least isolates with less than 1% prevalences. This contamination is
related to milking practices. These values are higher than recommended by Kenya Bureau
Standards. Should be Upscaled.
71.
Description: It is a disease diagnostic technique (Hemogram) using blood samples. The blood
picture is a diagnostic tool that tells whether an infection is infectious, noninfectious or
carcinogenic. About 10 mls EDTA blood is collected from the jugular vein.The blood samples is
used to determine white blood cell (WBCs), haemoglobin (HGB), red blood cell (RBCs), packed
cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH),
mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and platelets (PLT) parameters using a
blood cell counter (Beckman Coulter Gen-S Hematology Analyzer,USA). Remarks: It is widely
used to diagnose diseases in all animals (including man). Should be Upscaled.

Description: Rapid Serum Agglutination test is for testing for brucellosis. The test uses Rose
Bengal stained standardized Brucella abortus antigens. Fifty micro liters of PBS aredispensed
into a microtitre plate and then the same amount of test serum is dispensed in serial dilutions.
Fifty μl of standardized Rose Bengal stained Brucella abortus antigens at pre-calculated dilution
is dispensed in each of the wells. A negative control is set consisting of 50 µl of stained antigens
and 50 µl of saline for each dilution. The microtitre plate is then shaken well to mix the contents
and left at room temperature overnight (12 – 18 h). Remarks. The test has been tested with camel
serum samples from Wajir and Garissa counties. Since brucellosis is a zoonotic disease, it is
very important to screen the livestock to avoid transmission to humans. Should be upscaled.
73.
Description: It is technique for detecting TB. Tissue samples are obtained from abscesses in
slaughter houses. The tissues are taken to laboratory and DNA extracted using the appropriate
DNA kit. The Mycobacterium bovis are determined using appropriate primers on a real-time
Polymerase chain reaction Kit. Remarks: A screening of samples from Garissa County indicated
prevalence levels of 10%. It is important to screen for M. bovis as it causes losses in mortalities.
It can also cause tuberculosis in man. Should be validated
74.
Description: Seeds of the pumpkin are ground and an aqueous extract is dried. Deworm using
50mg orally in water per day. Remarks: Needs validation
75.
Description: This is a PPR surveillance tool. The level of herd immunity within the small stock
flocks can be determined using serological methods namely competitive ELISA (Enzyme linked
immune-sorbent assay). Participatory epidemiology methodologies are used to determined risk
factors associated with the spread of PPR. The data on community participatory appraisal of
PPR disease are validated with field pathological samples collected and the PPR virus RNA
analyzed with qRT-PCR (Quantitative Reverse –transcriptase Polymerase chain reaction) both in
fresh frozen samples and formalin fixed tissues. Histology samples are examined for
pathological lesions associated with PPR. Further a participatory risk assessment survey is used
to determine community perception of PPR on the risk factors. Remarks: The surveillance tool
can provide empirical data on the prevailing PPR status in sheep and goats. The dynamic
framework can be used for other production systems and counties to assess risk of diseases in a
changing climate. To be upscaled to other counties
76.
Description: PPR control tool is a stochastic PPR compartmental model used to control PPR.
Remarks: the current PPR vaccination strategies especially coverage are not based on empirical
data. This tool will provide the percentage coverage required to control and eventually eradicate
the disease. Ready for upscale to other counties
77.
Description: involves treatment of Khalid disease in camels using Tetracycline. Remarks: will
improve camel production in ASALs. Upscale to other counties
78.
Description: The kit is used for detection of Aflatoxin, antibiotics and other drug residues in
milk. 1ml Milk samples collected from individual dairy cows are tested for antibiotic residues
and aflatoxin residues using Charm ROSA (Rapid One-Step Assay), Rosa Quad incubator,
Charm MRL (Minimum Residue levels) Beta Lactam; Charm SL Aflatoxin and Charm
Aflatoxin. This was performed in Githunguri and Wangige revealing on average 10 %.
Prevalence. Remarks Antibiotic residues are common in milk and this may end up in humans
leading to multiple drug resistance. Aflatoxin residues can be carcinogenic. Ready to be
upscaled.
79.
Description: It is an Antibiotic Resistance detection kit. Bacterial colonies grown in blood agar
are suspended in 2 ml of sterile saline. A dry sterile cotton wool swab is placed in the suspension
and excess liquid was expressed against the inside of the tube. The bacterial suspension is
inoculated onto nutrient agar using the swab, in such a way that the whole surface of the agar is
covered. Antibiotic disks are then placed on the inoculum. The antibiotic disks contain;
Tetracycline, Gentamicin, Kanamycin, Norflaxacin, Chloramphenical and amoxicillin, all of
which are widely used in veterinary practice in Kenya. The results are recorded as resistant or
susceptible by measurement of inhibition zone. Remarks: Use of this technology for milk
samples obtained from dairy goats in Mt Kenya region indicated micro-organisms were least
sensitive to kanamycin and amoxicillin but very sensitive to Norfloxacin and gentamycin.
Antibiotic resistance can lead to development of multiple drug resistance strains in humans and
it is important to track such strains. Up-scaling
80.
Description: A Thermostable lactobacilli cultures suitable for production of camel milk yoghurt.
Remark: Different combinations of the ten starter culture strains have been used to make camel
milk yoghurt with variable percentages of skimmed milk powder from 2-4 percent and testing
the products with different pastoral communities (Garissa women groups) on acceptability. The
sensory evaluation of the yoghurt produced from camel milk revealed high acceptability for
color, flavor and taste in comparison to powder milk yoghurt. The lower total solids content of
yoghurt made from camel milk is related to high water content of camel milk and this could
explain the watery texture of camel milk yoghurt. The lactobacilli culture can be kept at 35 0C for
14 days and still retain viability. This is important in arid areas where temperature are high and
cooling facilities not available. Requires validation
81.
Description: A prediction tool modelled from many parametres (climate, population dynamics of
