    "content": "My Ministry is currently implementing the Pan African Tse Tse and Tripanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) in Nyatike as well as other parts of the country. These projects commenced in 2005 and the eradication exercise is a means to suppress Pan African Tse Tse and Tripanosomiasis diseases, which weaken and kill livestock. The campaign will enable farmers to increase the number of their livestock, introduce more good producing breeds and also open new land for pastures. Some areas are not accessible to livestock because of the infestation by these flies. There is a bid to rehabilitate Macalder Sheep and Goat Station with 184 goats, in which case, after these 184 goats are put there, it will act as a source of local goat gene pool. Such rehabilitation of livestock multiplication farms where farmers can source quality breeds will improve the livestock genetic resource base in order to enhance productivity, be it in terms of milk or meat. My Ministry will improve the availability of high quality livestock feeds and water through promotion of pasture and fodder production, conservation and protection of the environment. This will be achieved through improvement in research and extension services. Currently, my Ministry through the National Livestock Extension Programme, which is funded by SIDA and the South Nyanza Development Community Project, which is funded by IFAD, is providing technical advice to farmers in the region and this includes Nyatike District."
