https://nation.africa/ A severe outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease has forced authorities to impose strict quarantine measures across four counties. This has led to closure of tens of livestock markets in at least four counties while threatening Kenya's meat supply chain.
The outbreak comes as the government prepares to launch an ambitious nationwide vaccination campaign targeting 22 million cattle and 50 million goats beginning next week.
The highly contagious viral disease, which affects hoofed animals including cattle, sheep and goats, has been confirmed in Trans Nzoia, Nandi, Kakamega and West Pokot counties.
