Each kit consists of 900 kilograms of pelleted fodder fortified with mineral salts and 720 kilograms of hay, in addition to providing veterinary services, as well as medicines and vaccines for the livestock.
The beneficiaries also attended training sessions on proper cattle care, ways to manage common livestock diseases, and optimal nutrition practices to improve the quality and quantity of milk production.
