The Directorate of Veterinary Services in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform has investigated the mass death of cattle in the Zambezi region.
The ministry initiated an investigation to determine the cause of death, assess the problem's magnitude and develop effective control measures. The investigation revealed that most deceased cattle were old, pregnant, lactating or young animals. Over 80% of visited cattle were in a poor condition due to insufficient grazing pasture.
The investigation also found that many farmers did not vaccinate or deworm their livestock against common diseases and worm infestation, nor did they provide essential feed supplements during dry periods.
