- KARI Kienyeji chicken Farming
Kenya Agricultural Research Foundation (Kari) has come up with a new breed of indigenous chicken that offers better yield called KARI Kienyeji chicken
Characteristics
The breed develops faster, is highly resistant to diseases and has high productivity.
It achieves 1.5kg in about five months when the rest of the indigenous breeds take up to seven months or moreThe feathering system makes it adjust faster than the time taken by others to acclimatise with any climatic conditions, including the arid and semi-arid regions.
The chicken is easy to maintain since it can be kept under the free range system or deep litter depending on a farmer’s financial ability and objectives
to mature faster or produce more eggs one is advised to keep them in a semi-intensive or deep litter system
Farmers in Kenya have an option of keeping them as layers, for meat or both.
A hen can produce between 220 and 280 eggs a year. This is almost similar to a white leghorn exotic layer kept in a deep litter system.
