County's New Energy To Fight Animal Diseases And Feed Shortage.
By Elijah Gichunge & Anncieta Mukiri
County government has rolled out distribution of over 1200Kg assorted pasture grass seeds, and microscopes for livestock disease screening and diagnosis.
The gesture aims at increased livestock feed by putting over 400 hectares of land under pasture and also reduce animal diseases, for improved milk and meat production in all Subcounties.
Agriculture CEC Carol Mutiga who spoke in company of RuiriRwarera MCA Mutuma Kalembe in Nchoroiboro at David Thuranira’s farm, an earlier beneficiary of Boma Rhodes pasture seeds, said all regions -Buuri, Tigania, Imenti and Igembe- will get the seeds as well as a microscope, adding to the government’s commitment to provide subsidized animal Vaccination AI services.
The MCA pleaded with his colleagues to consider increasing the budget for agriculture, to boost county extension services.
