The drought resilient breed of cattle including Jersey for cross breeding, Boran, Sahiwal, Magic 50 and goat breeds, were highlighted. KAGRC presented the challenge of limited access to Liquid Nitrogen (LN₂), a critical input for AI services, and proposed the installation of solar-powered mini LN₂ production plants at an estimated cost of KSh 20–30 million per unit to support sustainable livestock breeding programmes in the region.
