Livestock farmers in Kitui County have taken advantage of the subsidised livestock vaccination campaign rolled out by the county government to prevent diseases and loss of animals.

The vaccination drive, which is now in its third week, is aimed at safeguarding farmer incomes and protecting the livestock sector from costly diseases such as Foot and Mouth disease, East Coast Fever, among others.
