ABSTRACT
A study was carried out to determine the factors affecting sheep and goat milk consumption
in arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya. Specifically the study sought to assess sheep and goat
milk production, assess sheep and goat milk consumption, and identify sheep and goat
management practices for optimal milk production in Kyawango and Kibauni Locations of
Mwala Sub County of Machakos County. Data was collected from a sample of 120
respondents using questionnaires and observations and was analyzed using statistical package
for social scientist software. The study established that sheep and goats are kept majorly for
sell to earn income and production of milk and meat. Findings from this study have shown
that goats produce more milk compared to sheep. On average, goats produce 1-2 litres of
milk daily while sheep produce less than 1 litre per day. The study established that sheep and
goat milk production is significantly affected by type of breeds and management practices
such as deworming, supplementary feeding, watering and separation (p
