Answer Text:
Stock rearing in settler farms in Kenya
-Lord Delamere carried out many experiments in sheep and cattle rearing at his Equator Ranch in Njoro though the Maasai raids in his farm and cattle diseases frustrated his efforts.
-After cross-breeding exotic types with local stock, he came up with more resistant variety
-The government also set up an experimental livestock farm in Naivasha.
-In 1925, the Kenya Cooperative Creameries was established due to Delamere’s efforts. Later, the Uplands Bacon Factory was established near Limuru to promote pig rearing.
-In 1930, the Kenya Farmers Association (KFA) was established.
