Dairy Goat Sector Enhancement Strategies for Sustainable Livestock Farming Communities

Livestock production remains a critical sector in the agricultural economy of developing countries. Among the livestock production systems, dairy goat production has increasingly gained popularity as a significant contributor to this important sector. Innovation and adoption of new technologies, such as the promotion of dairy goat production and the improvement of indigenous goats for better production, are poised to make an even bigger contribution. This is in particular to the Kenya Big Four Agenda focused on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, promoting gender equality, ensuring universal health care for citizens and habitable housing as well and tackling climate change by 2030.

畜牧业始终是发展中国家农业经济的核心支柱产业。在各类畜牧生产体系中，奶山羊养殖作为该重要领域的关键贡献力量，其受欢迎程度与日俱增。新技术的研发与应用——包括推广奶山羊养殖、改良本地山羊以提升生产性能——有望为该领域作出更大贡献，而这尤其契合肯尼亚四大发展议程（Kenya Big Four Agenda）：该议程旨在到2030年消除极端贫困与饥饿、促进性别平等、保障全民医疗保健与宜居住房，并应对气候变化。
