Livestock Diseases and treatment thereof
Objective

Droughts through the Provision of Water for both HUMAN AND LIVESTOCK Coupled
with Diseases Control and Surveillance Mechanism

Lack of Water Supply in most of these areas. Most of
the Dams, Earth Water Pans quickly dry up as they have not rehabilitated of
late and some have completely broken down.
Ectoparasites which include biting flies, ticks,
mange and lice have increased tremendously in population. They
are infesting mainly cattle, camels and sheep. There
is a profound fear that insect-borne disease outbreaks are
imminent. A major factor that makes the livestock
more vulnerable is that little has been done in this aspect.
Many activities focus on deworming mainly and
ectoparasite control measures are negligible partly due to the prohibitive
prices of acaricides.
Disease preventive measures especially vaccinations
against endemic conditions like CCPP, CBPP and PPR
need to have a regular calendar and adequate
coverage to have a tangible impact on reduction of disease incidences.
Supportive and clinical therapy i.e. treatment of
the indisposed livestock and giving them supportive medication to thrive well
needs also be a regular undertaking. This salvages the already sick, reduces
vulnerability of the
weak by boosting them and in effect reduces the
mortality rate that might otherwise result.
Mineral and vitamin supplementation especially as a
boost to fertility. This has of late become an area worth focusing. The camel
happens to be the most adapted animal in this climatic condition. However its
milk yield is pegged on conception which in turn depends on nutrition. They
are very sensitive to mineral deficiencies which studies have shown to be a
major setback in their production. There is thus need to supply these in
order to realize optimum yields for better livelihoods.

Earth Water Pans have been rehabilitated in atleast
8 Locations in Mandera East and Lafey
Livestock Mass Vaccination to be conducted atleast 2
times a year starting Half of 2017

Community Empowerment, Social Justice & Gender
Capacity Building
|
The actions we intend to implement is aimed at
Empowering communities (men, women and vulnerable persons) by involving them
in series of platforms, workshops, meetings, training and by strengthening
the mechanisms to network and build capacities of Smaller NGO's, CBO'S and
NSAs’ involvement with the communities at a local level in the development
processes leading to openness, transparency and accountability of governance
of all institutions in six (6) districts of Greater Mandera County, Northern
Kenya
