An increasing population together with a growing interest in consumption of animal proteins requires an intensified dairy production in Kenya. The aver-age milk production of 4.4 litres per cow and day is neither efficient enough nor reach the genetic capacity of the exotic dairy cattle used in the small-holder dairy sector. This study investigated feeding routines and feed quality in 31 small-holder dairy farms situated in the highlands (H) and lowlands (L) of Barin-go. Semi-structured interviews, observations and registrations of milk yield (MY), body weight (BW) and body condition score (BCS) were performed. The measured animal characteristics differed between the production envi-ronments highlands (408.1 kg BW; 6.9 kg MY; 2.4 BCS) and...
