Kirinyaga County farmers are set to benefit from a Goat Artificial Insemination (AI) centre launched by President William Ruto during his development tour at Kirinyaga, Wednesday.
The Centre, located at Animal Health & Industrial Training Institute (AHITI), Ndomba in Kirinyaga, is first of its kind in East and Central Africa and brings a radical breakthrough in the County and the Country's agricultural sector, especially in goat farming.
During the event, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru expressed gratitude for the transformative initiative, highlighting the positive impact it would have on local farming communities and the wider economy. "We are particularly honoured to host the Goat AI Centre at Ndomba, which is not only a great treasure for our County but also a key development milestone for our Country.
This Center is a significant step forward in improving goat production and food security in Kirinyaga County." Waiguru added that the Centre's role in improving breeding practices is critical to advancing food security and economic stability for local farmers.
