Livestock Herd Structures and Dynamics in Garissa County, Kenya Patrick Mwambi Mwanyumba1*, Raphael Wahome Wahome2, Laban Macopiyo3 and Paul Kanyari4
Mwanyumba et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2015) 5:26 DOI 10.1186/s13570-015-0045-6 SHORT REPORT Open Access Livestock herd structures and dynamics in Garissa County, Kenya Patrick Mwambi Mwanyumba1*, Raphael Wahome Wahome2, Laban MacOpiyo3 and Paul Kanyari4 Abstract In Kenya’s Northeastern Province, pastoralism is the main livestock production system and means of livelihood. However, pastoralists are facing increasing risks such as drought, insecurity, animal diseases, increasing human populations and land fragmentation. This study sought to evaluate household livestock herd structures and dynamics in view of such risks and subsistence and market demands. The study was conducted in Garissa County of Kenya, using a cross-sectional household survey. The data was analysed for descriptive statistics of household livestock status, dynamics and demographic parameters. The results showed that females of reproductive age formed over 50 % of all livestock species. Cattle had the highest turnover and all species’ mortalities accounted for the greater proportion of exits. Cattle had the highest multiplication and growth rates, but also the highest mortality, offtake, commercial offtake and intake rates. Goats had the lowest mortalities, offtake, commercial offtake and intake rates. Overall, the herds were structured to provide for both immediate and future needs in terms of milk, sales and herd replacement as well as for rapid recovery after disasters. The livestock herd dynamics indicate efforts at culling, restocking, retention of valuable categories of animals, and natural events. Livestock populations would be annihilated over time if the trends in end balances and negative growth rates were to continue and not be interrupted by the upward phases of the livestock cycles. -

Sediment Dynamics and Improvised Control Technologies in the Athi River Drainage Basin, Kenya
Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held 485 in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Sediment dynamics and improvised control technologies in the Athi River drainage basin, Kenya SHADRACK MULEI KITHIIA Postgraduate Programme in Hydrology, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Nairobi, PO Box 30197, 00100 GPO, Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Abstract In Kenya, the changing of land-use systems from the more traditional systems of the 1960s to the present mechanized status, contributes enormous amounts of sediments due to water inundations. The Athi River drains areas that are subject to intense agricultural, industrial, commercial and population settlement activities. These activities contribute immensely to the processes of soil erosion and sediment transport, a phenomenon more pronounced in the middle and lower reaches of the river where the soils are much more fragile and the river tributaries are seasonal in nature. Total Suspended Sediments (TSS) equivalent to sediment fluxes of 13 457, 131 089 and 2 057 487 t year-1 were recorded in the headwater areas, middle and lower reaches of the river, respectively. These varying trends in sediment transport and amount are mainly due to the chemical composition of the soil coupled with the land-soil conservation measures already in practice, and which started in the 1930s and reached their peak in the early 1980s. This paper examines trends in soil erosion and sediment transport dynamics progressively downstream. The land-use activities and soil conservation, control and management technologies, which focus on minimizing the impacts of overland flow, are examined to assess the economic and environmental sustainability of these areas, communal societal benefits and the country in general. -
Economic E Ciency Analysis of Banana Farmers in Kiambu East District of Kenya
Journal of Developments in Sustainable Agriculture. : ++2ῌ +,1 ( ,**3 ) Economic E$ ciency Analysis of Banana Farmers in Kiambu East District of Kenya: Technical Ine$$ ciency and Marketing E ciency Stephen Mutuku Nzioka Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki-*/ῌ 2/1, , Japan Approximately2*ῌ of Kenya’s population lives in rural areas and derives its livelihood largely from agriculture. Agriculture makes up about,0ῌ of Kenya’s gross domestic product, and banana production occupies,ῌ of Kenya’s arable land. Bananas are grown both as a source of food and household income to millions of rural Kenyans; however, production has been declining in the last, decades. My objective was to examine banana production and marketing in Kiambu East District, with the aims of improving levels of banana production by small-scale farmers and making recommendations to improve marketing e$ ciency. A structured questionnaire was given to farmers in- Divisions of Kiambu East District: Githunguri, Municipality, and Kiambaa. A frontier production function was established, and results indicated that farmers operated at about 0*ῌ of the optimum production level because of technical ine $ ciency, resulting in low levels of production by individual farmers. If farmers received training on how to manage their traditional bananas and organized into marketing groups, they could improve their bargaining power and increase household income to as much as - times current levels. Farmers therefore should form production and marketing groups to grow and market their bananas collectively. Farmers also need to be given management training and financial assistance to grow higher yielding varieties of bananas (e.g., Tissue Culture bananas). -
