Compared to ordinary goats living among the communities in Kenya, the Galla breed boasts a higher yield of milk,” says Dr Topisia. Her sentiments are affirmed by Moses Rubane, a member of the self-help group who recently praised the Galla goats project during an interview with Standard Digital. “The Galla goats mature into adults at around six months, half-a-year sooner than the local breeds. The goats, along with other climate-smart farming activities, have brought more food to the table to these rural farmers within the county. That number has now dropped to 23 percent with the introduction of Galla goat among communities in these regions.
