Abstract: An educational
pamphlet illustrating the breeds that make up the national
dairy and beef herds in Kenya. It outlines the main features
of ten sub species of both the Bos indicus and Bos taurus
species. It also diagrammatically shows the anatomy and the
digestive system of the cow. As part of the science and agriculture
primary school syllabus, it attempts to supplement the efforts
of teachers by providing supporting visual materials for use
in educational activity.
