Milk Surplus and Deficit in Central and Western Kenya in 1997
Calculations of milk production were done by assessing the number of dairy cattle in an administrative area, and extrapolating out liters of milk per area. Demand for milk was calculated by estimating the milk needs per person, and applying that number to the population density of each area....

Livestock density in Kenya's rangelands, 1994-1996
This data was used in Map 1.5 and Map 4.7 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Species numbers are aggregated using a ""tropical livestock unit"" (TLU) (which is equivalent to an animal weight of 250 kilograms) to grid cells of 5x5 km and then averaged by...
