A section of dairy farmers in Kibomet, Trans Nzoia County, are calling on the government to intervene urgently after an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) devastated their livestock over the past three weeks.
The highly contagious viral disease has left many herds in poor condition, with farmers reporting reduced milk production, weight loss, and deaths among calves. Farmer Nathan Chebor, one of the hardest hit, said the outbreak has crippled his livelihood.
