| Abstract | A STUDY WAS MADE of livestock productivity in three group ranches of the Maasai pastoralists in southeast Kenya. Eighty households were studied in detail, and the size of the production unit was found to affect most important production parameters. The output of animal products was measured by cattle and smallstock productivity studies and through household studies. The cow–calf operation of the Maasai pastoralists was found to produce an annual growth of 20 to 30%, which is higher than production indices measured in West African pastoral systems. |
