The BCBS is among the most active breeders’
associations in Kenya. It is not at present subsidized
financially, but is involved in strategic cooperation
with the LRC which stores and evaluates performance
records for those producers still participating in the
recording scheme. The BCBS also cooperates with
the National Agricultural Research System in the
exchange of information – especially on nutrition and
breeding. Research aimed at developing appropriate
genetic improvement programmes for the Boran and
updating the current ones is ongoing.
