304 - Discourage clearing of vegetation on steep slopes
304 (a) - Reforest cleared slopes with tree and grass species with well developed root systems that will control soil erosion (e.g. vetiver and namamau)
304 (b) - Forest Plantations on sloping areas should be planted in various planting rows and patters to encourage soil retention
381 - Discourage burning of grasslands or marginal vegetation that holds soil
382 - Practice contour cropping/terracing
383 - Encourage rehabilitation of bare land and areas subject to soil erosion.
384 - Utilize site capture crops to quickly revegetate bare slopes
385 - Utilize cover crops to hold soil
386 - Utilize barrier crops to trap and prevent sediments from eroding
387 - Plant stabilizing trees on vulnerable slopes to control landslides
388 - Utilize Nitrogen fixing crops
446 - Use antibiotics to treat the Charolais Bullock eyelid sores problem due to sunlight overexposure
447 - Avoid sunlight vulnerable varieties of bullock like Charolais
448 - Encourage sunlight tolerant varieties of bullock like Brahman mixes
449 - Ensure that Charolais variety is placed in the shade during the hottest and sunniest parts of the day.
450 - Cross Charolais with Brahman to develop tolerance to high light intensity.
451 - Place bullock in shade trees for middle day times, while morning and afternoon time are best for feeding in open pastures
