Abstract

The presentation provides an update on progress and project implementation including: the project team, the administrative setup, achievements to date, and key documents. Among numerous preliminary findings, research reveals that in Makueni (Kenya), commercial chicken production is relatively advanced compared to smallholder chicken rearing; most women are involved in indigenous chicken rearing on a free-range system with minimal supplementation. Newcastle disease (ND) is most prevalent in March, June and October resulting in huge losses among chicken farmers. Men tend to take over the chicken rearing venture from women when it becomes profitable.
