Do we do the vaccination on livestock or not.

For me YES

This has been a major concern from the farmers and other in the livestock value chain. I have received calls and text on this and I decided to give my inputs as an expert in the value chain.
First the vaccination is important as it help prevent diseases and protect their health.
The government of kenya is targeting to vaccinate 22million cattle and 50 million sheep and goat majorly on trasboundary diseases like foot and mouth (FMD)and peste des pestitis ruminants (PPR)
Vaccination is a normal activity in the veterinary services.
Most of the counties have been doing it as it improves animal health production, human health, trade and social economic status of the farmers and other traders in animal and animal products.

The government of kenya introduced the information in a manner that confused the kenyans.
First the president took a role of the experts who could have done in a correct way possible. Second the farmers are not aware which are the diseases being vaccinated.

This lead to issue that the animals are being vaccinated to prevent farting(kunyamba)
For me, I tend to thin this is not true side of the information.
FARTING
This is the release of gas from the intestines through the a**s. Cattle consume grass and during the conversion of fibres to usefull products they generate gases , mainly the methane.
Methane is one of the powerful greenhouse gases that causes the climate change.
In 2021 more that 150 countries signed an agreement to reduce these gases by about 30% by 2030.
One of the way is through vaccination, upto date no vaccination have been developed by the process in its final stages. The ruminants including cattle will be given vaccination to stop the methanogen bacteria from producing methane.
The methane can be reduced by other methods such as :
1.Dietary changes
2.Feed additives
3.Grazing management
4.Selective breeding
Each of the ways will be discussed in future articles.

The government need to stop the noice and chest kicks on stated vaccination by engaging the key stakeholders and providing full disclosure on the programme without profiling the kenyans who question the real intention of the administration.
