Poultry farming in Kenya is mostly practiced is small scale mostly for domestic consumption. Poultry farming is the raising of domesticated birds such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese, for the purpose of farming meat or eggs for food. In the advent of frequent food shortages and fluctuating prices, some farmers have embraced the commercial poultry farming methods. These farmers are classified in the following categories: * Between 1 – 1000 birds: small scale farmers * Between 1001 – 10,000 birds: medium scale farmers * Above 10,000 birds: large scale farmers The most prevalent poultry farming method in Kenya is chicken farming although a small number of farmers rear other types of birds. There are those farmers who specialize on rearing only chickens for meat (broilers) and others specialize in the chickens for eggs (layers) while others specialize on rearing the Kienyeji type (indigenous chickens where both cocks and hens live together). ==Commercial breeds== The Commercial Breeds of chickens that are currently available in Kenya are # Broilers # Layers # Kenbro # (Sasso ) # Kuroiler 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poultry farming in Kenya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
