Animal Nutrition & Productivity
Nutrition is the foundation of animal health and productivity. Poorly balanced diets are responsible for a significant proportion of production losses, reproductive failures, and disease susceptibility in Kenyan livestock. Dr. Erick provides science-based nutritional assessments and feeding programs tailored to your farm's resources and production goals.
Our nutrition services begin with a comprehensive feed and pasture assessment on your farm. We analyze the nutritional value of available feeds and compare this with the requirements of your animals at their specific stage of production. From this analysis, Dr. Erick develops a practical feeding program using locally available ingredients that meets your animals' needs while staying within your budget. We also provide guidance on feed storage, processing, and quality control to ensure consistency.
