Mineral and Vitamin Deficiencies in Kenya's Animal Feed: A Focus on Pigs and Poultry
Kenya’s livestock farming, particularly in pigs and poultry, is a crucial part of the country's economy, yet it faces significant challenges due to deficiencies in essential minerals and vitamins within animal feed. These deficiencies hinder growth, productivity, and health, leading to conditions like rickets, poor eggshell quality, reproductive issues, and compromised immune systems.
