Laikipia dairy farmers boost yields through silage project
June 3, 2026
Milk production is rising sharply among more than 400 farmers across 130 households in Nyeri and Laikipia counties. Average yields have increased from 5 liters to 16 liters per cow per day, pushing total daily production from 775 liters to 2,480 liters, especially during the dry season when the farmers are using silage; part of efforts to adopt climate-smart dairy practices under the Lishe Bora na Mama Silage project.
The project is funded by Dow and implemented by Pioneer Child Development Programme in partnership with ChildFund.
