Many small and medium-sized farms in Kenya still rely heavily on manual feeding; this not only results in persistently high labor costs but also leads to uneven feed distribution. Our client operates a medium-sized dairy farm located near Nairobi.

To address issues such as rising labor costs, recruitment difficulties, and uneven feed distribution, the farm decided to acquire a compact livestock feeder machine equipped with an automated TMR (Total Mixed Ration) feeding system.

Client Background and Farm Profile

Following their initial contact with our sales team, we gained a deeper understanding of the client’s specific situation:

  1. The client operates a small-scale farm, raising a total of 50 cattle alongside other livestock.
  2. It prioritizes cost-effective and durable machinery; furthermore, due to the narrow layout of their feeding aisles, they require a compact unit that can be easily operated by a single person.
  3. They are currently transitioning to a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) feeding system.
  4. Given the limited labor availability in their geographic region—which has resulted in a high reliance on manual labor—they sought to purchase machinery to help reduce their staffing requirements to a certain extent.

Precisely because of these specific characteristics, Taizy’s compact, multi-functional feeding equipment proved to be an exceptionally attractive solution for this client.
