feed supplement for dairy farmers

Naivasha Dairy Research Institute (DRI) Director, Dr. Margret Syomiti, said KALRO through its continuous re- search has come up with various innovations meant

 

to help farmers improve their productivity in the face of cli- mate change.

 

“We endeavour to sensitize farmers on these technolo- gies we innovate so that the technology can help them improve efficiency in their farming activities,” Syomiti said.

 

To this end, she revealed that KALRO had come up with a feed supplement for dairy farmers nutri-block nicknamed “nutri cake” for the livestock which has

 

protein, minerals and all the other food nutrients required by the animals in order to help farmers keep their ani- mals healthy and productive during a dry spell.

 

Syomiti was speaking to the media on the sidelines of a farmers’ field day held at Naivasha Dairy Research In- stitute (DRI).

 

It was strategically planned to coincide with KALRO’s inaugural scientific conference. This creates an excellent opportunity for farmers to engage with a multitude of experts during the open day event.
