Photo, Courtesy Best Dairy Farmers in Kenya: BY FARMERS TV : When Gilbert Ngetich bought his first Friesian cow in 2009, little did he know that 10 years later, he would be feted for his outstanding performance in a field he had little knowledge in. He was awarded a gold certificate last week for his Sweet Farm Dairies Roret farm which stood out among others in the region.

Bacteria and yeasts depend on the acidic-based balance to survive.
