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. To address these issues, the use of high-quality commercial multivitamin-mineral premixes is essential. These premixes provide a balanced, bioavailable supply of necessary nutrients, enhancing feed efficiency, bone health, disease resistance, and overall productivity. By adopting this scientifically backed approach, Kenyan farmers can improve livestock health, boost farm profitability, and contribute to the sustainability of the livestock industry.
