Nyaribo Launches Sh36.4mn Farmer Grants, Cattle Vaccination Drive
[Capital FM] Nyamira -- Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo has launched a Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccination campaign targeting more than 113,800 cattle across the county as part of efforts to protect livestock and strengthen food security
Nyamira County has allocated Sh36.4 million in farmer grants alongside an FMD vaccination campaign covering over 113,800 cattle, aimed at protecting livestock assets and food security in the county. The intervention addresses a disease constraint that affects cattle productivity and market access for livestock keepers in the region. If sustained, such vaccination efforts could reduce trade barriers linked to disease prevalence, though the commercial impact will depend on whether the program extends beyond a single campaign cycle.
