The high cost of chicken feeds has become a challenge to farmers and has seen most quit the poultry business. 

However, for a group of farmers, the rise in feed prices is a blessing as they are reaping big from an on-farm chicken feed formulation venture. The group called Kathangariri Poultry CIG is located in Kirimari Ward, Embu County.
