Dupoto Agroconsultancy & Farm unites superior livestock genetics, climate-smart forage production and hands-on field advisory — turning Narok's pastoral operations into predictable, profitable commercial enterprises.
Genetics, forage and technical advisory run together at Dupoto — so every animal you keep is fed, healthy and market-ready.
Selective breeding pipelines using acclimatized, high-yielding breeds chosen for hardiness, rapid weight gain and feed efficiency.
We remove reliance on seasonal rainfall through strategic feed management and land rejuvenation across Narok's rangelands.
End-to-end technical interventions tailored for smallholders, commercial ranchers, cooperatives and development organizations.
Three service lines, run as one operation — from the breeding pen and the seed plot to the paddock plan and the off-take contract.
Superior genetics and intensive finishing systems, optimised for dryland performance.
We close the fodder deficit by multiplying and distributing indigenous, drought-tolerant pasture seed at scale.
Actionable guidance tailored to individual landholders, community groups and commercial enterprises.
Engagements start with a site visit. We walk your land, look at your herd and your grazing blocks, then quote the work in stages — so you can start with one paddock or one breeding season and scale from there.
Dupoto Agroconsultancy & Farm is an integrated agricultural enterprise based in Oltototo, Narok County. We bridge the gap between traditional pastoral practice and modern, climate-resilient agribusiness.
By optimizing rangeland utilization, elevating livestock genetics and establishing closed-loop forage ecosystems, we drive sustainable rural wealth creation — moving producers away from reactive crisis management and distress sales.
Breeds, grasses, hay banks and the advisory work that holds it all together.
Narok's year runs on two rainy seasons. Here is how we schedule breeding, forage and herd health around them, so nothing is left to chance.
Every operation is planned around your own rainfall pattern. We map your grazing blocks, calving dates and feed reserves with you at the start of the season, then adjust the calendar as the rains behave.
Biosecurity, parasite control and vaccination protocol for mixed commercial livestock — Dorper sheep, Sahiwal and Boran cattle, and goats — under rangeland and feedlot systems.
This protocol is tailored for mixed commercial operations in Oltototo and across Narok County. It is a working framework, not a prescription: every dose is set with your veterinarian against the animals in front of you.
To minimise drug resistance, rotate across anthelmintic classes — Benzimidazoles, Levamisole and Macrocyclic Lactones. Dosing is always guided by Body Condition Scoring (BCS), FAMACHA scoring for anaemia, and targeted Fecal Egg Counts (FEC).
| Target animal group | Recommended timing | Key parasites targeted | Active ingredient / class | Notes & best practice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult ewes, does & cows | Onset of long rains (March – April) | Haemonchus contortus (barber pole worm), Trichostrongylus, flukes | Levamisole or Albendazole + trematodicide | Drench 1–2 weeks before the onset of heavy rains to reduce pasture larval build-up. |
| Breeding flock / herd | Onset of short rains (October – November) | Roundworms, tapeworms, liver flukes | Ivermectin or Oxfendazole | Rotate the chemical class from the previous treatment. |
| Lambs & kids | Weaning (3–4 months of age) | Gastrointestinal nematodes, coccidia | Fenbendazole / Diclazuril (if coccidiosis is suspected) | Move to clean, rested pasture after drenching. |
| Feedlot / finishing stock | Entry into feedlot (day 1 induction) | Internal nematodes, ectoparasites (mites, keds, lice) | Ivermectin or Doramectin (injectable / pour-on) | Combined internal and external parasite clearance before intensive feeding begins. |
| Pre-breeding / pre-lambing | 2–3 weeks pre-mating & 2 weeks pre-lambing | Hypobiotic larvae, roundworms | Broad-spectrum macrocyclic lactone | Clears the worm burden in the dam to boost colostrum quality and lamb vigour. |
Pasture management note. Avoid overstocking around watering points and bomas. Practise pasture rotation by spelling paddocks for at least 60 days to break parasite life cycles.
Vaccinations must be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, a licensed veterinary practitioner.
| Disease | Vaccine type | Initial dose age | Booster / frequency | Strategic season / trigger |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) | Live attenuated | 4 months | Single dose (valid up to 3 years) | Mandatory baseline for all small ruminants. |
| Sheep & goat pox | Attenuated pox | 3–4 months | Annual booster | Before cold or rainy seasons, or where regional risk is high. |
| Enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney) & tetanus (CDT) | Multivalent clostridial | 2 months (from an unvaccinated dam) / 3 months | Annual booster, plus 2–3 weeks pre-lambing for dams | Crucial for feedlot lambs on high-concentrate rations. |
| Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) | Inactivated | 3 months (goats) | Annual booster | Pre-wet season, or before herd mixing. |
| Disease | Initial dose age | Frequency | Strategic window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) | 4 months | Bi-annually (every 6 months) | March & September, before the main rain seasons. |
| Anthrax & blackquarter (blackleg) | 4–6 months | Annual booster | Dry season before the rains (February or August). |
| Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) | 6 months | Annual booster | Per regional veterinary campaign guidelines. |
| Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) | 1 month and above | Annual booster | Before peak vector and mosquito activity in the wet seasons. |
| Brucellosis | 4–8 months (heifers only) | Once in a lifetime (S19 or RB51) | The biosecurity foundation of the breeding herd. |
Smallholders, cooperatives and development partners working with Dupoto across Narok County.
Before Dupoto we sold animals thin and cheap whenever the rains failed. With their Dorper rams and a hay bank, we now finish our lambs properly and sell at a real price.
They mapped our grazing blocks, planned the rotation and brokered our first off-take contract with an abattoir. Our members' income has been steady for two seasons running.
Dupoto delivered our rangeland rehabilitation pilot on time and on budget, with genuine community buy-in. They are a reliable local execution partner.
Whether you run fifty head or five thousand, talk to us about genetics, forage establishment, herd health or off-take. We work across Narok County and beyond.
