Severe drought in Samburu county has forced pastoralists to embrace a cattle feed supplement dubbed "cattle cake" to boost milk production and meet nutritional needs of the animals.

To ensure the supply of the cattle cake, approximately 30 women within the community have been trained how to manufacture the product, which is designed to be fed to animals daily.
