Mortality rates, the causes, calf retardation and evaluation of existing indigenous knowledge and practices on milk substitutes in rearing camel calves were evaluated in extensive and peri-urban camel production systems in Kenya. The study used key informant questionnaires (KI) and focus group discussions (FGDs) methods to collect the data. Simple systematic random sampling survey method was used to collect key informants' data. FGDs comprising of 12 camel keepers were purposefully selected and conducted per study site based on their knowledge in camel husbandry. The key informant data was entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, 2019).
