“The animal vaccination programme we will roll out in January 2025 is meant to effectively control livestock diseases and ensure healthier breeds. Previously, this exercise has not been effective and efficient because it was done in selected parts of the country.
Under the new program, vaccination will cover 22 million cattle and 50 million sheep and goats in all parts of our country. It will be the beginning of more government investment in the livestock sub-sector to make it achieve its immense potential and make its full contribution to the economy.
