Here is what Troy Griepentrog wrote about the Freedom ranger: I spent about
$229.11 buying the chicks and feed. I fed about 530 pounds of commercial
feed plus about 90 pounds of whole oats. The following numbers aren’t
precise, but should be pretty close:
620 pounds of feed produced 195 pounds of live birds (3.17 pounds of feed
per pound of gain — about the expected ratio).
130 pounds of meat (about $1.76 per pound)
The Label Rouge (France) birds grow to 2.25 kg in 12 weeks, while
the fast-growing broilers (Cornish cross) reach the same weight in 6
weeks. The carcass is generally more elongated and has a smaller
breast and larger legs than conventional carcasses. In addition,
slower-growing breeds are more suitable to outdoor production
than fast-growing broilers.

Cornish Cross, Red Ranger, Rosambro
Red Ranger
Rosambro Broilers (medium-growth).
The Rosambro is a new breed also offered
by MT-DI Hatchery. Rosambro broilers are
grown to an age between eight and ten
weeks old. This bird has many of the
same benefits as the Red Broiler with
somewhat faster growth than the Red
Broiler (but slower that the Cornish
Cross).
The Red Ranger Broiler is a very profitable broiler to raise because of its
strong disease resistance. The Red Ranger broiler chickens have
an excellent conformation of white and dark meat yields, a tender
texture with the flavor of a slow growing bird. The Red Ranger
has a dark red feathering with a few of the tail feathers being either
white or black, yellow shanks, beak, and skin.
Cornish Cross Broilers (fast growth).
Cornish Cross (also called Cornish Rock) is an
extremely fast growing chicken that is
processed between six and eight weeks.
Moyer’s Broiler/Roaster chicks (sometimes nicknamed
Cornish Giants) can be grown to a live weight of over 4 lbs. by 6
weeks of age Or, to a roaster weight of 8-10 lbs. Live weights of
4-5 lbs. can be achieved on close to 2 lbs. of feed per pound of
meat. They have excellent conformation, plump, tender breast
meat and good skin texture.
Moyer’s K-22 Red Broilers (Cockerels Only) is a hearty meat
bird that has resistant genetics providing good textured,
flavorful meat for the discriminating consumer. They are
perfect for the pastured poultry producer. The K-22 is a slower
growing bird than the cornish giant with the males growing to a
live weight of 5 pounds at around 8 weeks.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry
in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health
conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing
protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing
varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which
institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder
pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be
adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara
Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data
Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and
stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency.
The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be
useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig
enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks
which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder
pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy.
An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand
