POULTRY FARMERS TRAINING WORKSHOP

The Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Cooperative Development has launched a two-day training workshop specifically tailored for lead poultry farmers. The workshop is designed to equip these farmers with practical skills and knowledge aimed at enhancing poultry production. The training covers essential topics such as poultry disease management, housing, incubation, and hatching, all of which are critical to successful poultry farming.

During the workshop, Chief Officer for Livestock, Fisheries, and Cooperatives Development, Japtheth Kiminza, highlighted the importance of adopting the cooperative model across all agricultural value chains. He emphasized that the National Agriculture Value Chain Development Program (NAVCDP) supports this model, which allows farmers to pool resources, reduce costs, increase bargaining power, and improve access to markets, training, and other vital services.

The event was also graced by the presence of the Director of Livestock and Fisheries, Dr. David Musyoki, Project Coordinator Paul Musyimi, and County Community Institutions Development Officer Roselyne Mumbua.
