dc.description.abstract | The Veterinary Policy provides a roadmap for the development of
anima1 resources in Kenya through observation of sanitary measures.
Anima1 resource categories in Kenya include livestock, wildlife, farmed
wildlife, companion and aquatic anima1 species and bees. The animal
resources listed above are very critical to rura1 livelihoods and the
national economy considering that they directly and indirectly contribute
over 22 per cent of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
This Policy addresses anima1 health production & welfare, food safety
and trade among other concerns in livestock, wildlife, aquatic and
companion anima1s. Animal health services are integral to the
prevention, control and eradication of animal diseases that occasion
huge economic losses and adversely impact livelihoods. The health of
animals is among the leading priorities in animal productivity and at all
stages of production must be guaranteed. Due to inadequate focus on
anima1 health, enterprises involving food animals have low returns on
investment resulting in high poverty levels in animal producing areas. | en |
