Item Chicken Value Chain: Gender and Social Inclusion(Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), 2024) Ndubi, J.M.; Alaru, P.A.O.; Nyambati, E.M.; Mungube, E.O.; Kipkemoi, D.C.; Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research OrganizationAccess to resources such as land, credit, extension and a voice in decision making are important elements to consider for improved adoption of Agricultural Technologies, Innovations and Management Practices (TIMP) by the various gender categories for improved food and nutritional security as well as poverty reduction. Although agricultural TIMPs might lead to increased production and income, there is no guarantee that more income will address the poverty, food and nutrition security situation in the household. Who has access to what resources and who dominate what decisions at household, local and national levels in relation to the use of additional income are important when considering what degree food, nutrition security and poverty will improve. If we close this gender gap by improving power relations and access to resources by the various gender categories, yields would increase by 20–30%.Item Storage of Chicken Feed Ingredients and Mixed Rations(Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, 2024) Kariuki, I.; Kariuki, I.W.; Alaru, P.A.O.; Wachira, A.M.; Ouko, V.O.; Mungube, E.O.; K’Oloo, T.O.; Ogali, N.I.; Adongo, A.O.; Ngaira, V.M.; Langat, M.K.; Nyambati, E.M.; Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research OrganizationIt is not advisable to mix more than 100 kg for ration in order to be cost-effective. To achieve this, feed ingredients should be acquired in bulk from millers and distributors at wholesale prices and hence the need for proper storage. Furthermore, all the mixed feed may not be immediately consumed. There are important factors to consider during storage of feed ingredients and the mixed rations.
