The state is developing 110 hectares of grazing reserve for livestock feed production to sustain gains from Nigeria’s local dairy development programme.
Farmers are demanding lower feed costs, stronger cooperatives, and better veterinary services as Kenya grapples with milk shortage.
The programme will also establish artificial insemination centres and train local technicians to improve access to breeding services across Kwara State.
TruValue was developed to provide beef and dairy producers with balanced nutrition, standardised quality and consistent feed availability.
The project aims to reach 30,000 smallholder dairy farmers over a nine-month pilot period.
The animal feed mill will help dairy farmers in Meru County and nearby counties reduce the cost of production.
WAMUL has supplied approximately 23,000 metric tonnes of cattle feed and 175 metric tonnes of mineral mixture since resuming operations.
The company will usethe funding to increase production capacity and accelerate the commercialization of its precision-fermented dairy proteins.
This partnership reflects on shared ambition to strengthen food supply and drive greater efficiency across the dairy value chain.
The initiative is being implemented through county extension officers and licensed private veterinary providers in all wards, with support from the KAGRC and KDDC.
