Kenya: Animal Feed Situation 2014
The use of manufactured animal feeds and feed supplements in Kenya has increased steadily over the last ten years. Data by Kenya’s State Department of Livestock estimates that demand for feeds and supplements is about 650,000 tons up from 300,000 tons in 2008. Registered feed manufacturers account for about 60 percent of the demand; while the unregistered small scale manufacturers, home/community-based formulators, and importers account for the balance. Some of the challenges facing the animal feeds industry in Kenya include erratic supply of raw materials, lack of standardization, and low quality of ingredients.
