Livestock247

The fundamental objective of Livestock247 is animal identification and management systems which is why we introduced the Hiona project designed to bring convenient, qualitative primary healthcare to our communities and livestock owners. The core components of livestock traceability systems consist of animal identification, premises identification, and tracking animal movements. Animal identification is a fundamental aspect of traceability in the livestock management practices, enabling individual animals to be uniquely identified within the system. Premises identification involves registering and identifying locations where livestock are kept or handled such as ranches, pen etc. Tracking animal movements facilitate the ability to trace an animal's journey from birth or entry into the system, through different borders and gates to its endpoint. Livestock247 community sensitization and advocacy is how the company is constantly engaging with our beneficiaries for capacity building and knowledge sharing improvement. It is a bundled service that includes traceability, animal healthcare services, extension services, trainings, advocacy, sensitization, subsidized drugs and surgery for livestock. Livestock247 can be reached via customer service support (+234 906 290 3550) [email protected] to register your livestock. These traceability systems are essential for safeguarding animal health, public health, and ensuring food safety. By promptly tracing and isolating animals in case of disease outbreaks (such as we currently have in Taraba and Adamawa State with Hemorrhagic Septicemia that has claimed thousands of Animals) or food safety concerns, these systems help mitigate risks and protect both animals and consumers. Additionally, they aid in reducing response times during emergencies, limiting the spread and impact of diseases, food safety issues, and natural disasters.

🐄 Making a Difference in Rural Nigeria We're bringing essential veterinary care to the heart of our communities! Recently, we treated cattle for Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in Kufena Anguwan Fulani, Zaria, ensuring healthier livestock and more resilient livelihoods. In Nassarawan Doya, Makarfi LGA, Kaduna, we combined treatment with advocacy, helping farmers understand the importance of disease prevention and proper cattle identification. Empowering communities, one step at a time! 💪 #CommunityImpact #VeterinaryCare #SustainableAgriculture #RuralDevelopment #FMDPrevention

In the livestock farming world, the phrase Health is Wealth applies to our animals just like it does for us humans. Especially with the recent disease outbreaks (hemorrhagic septicemia) among cattle in Taraba State, it's crucial to highlight the significance of regular healthcare for livestock. One of our objectives in Livestock247 is to bring qualitative primary healthcare such as vaccinations, treatments, and nutrition for livestock to our communities and livestock owners, which is why we introduced the Hiona project. To fight against diseases effectively, proactive monitoring and swift action are core to our duties. We emphasize preventive measures like proper nutrition and suitable facilities that can significantly boost the livestock's health and productivity. A balanced diet meeting their specific nutrient needs, coupled with access to clean water, enhances growth rates, reproductive efficiency, and immune system resilience. It is cheaper to invest in your livestock, as it not only ensures a safe food supply and steady market profit but also plays an important role in public health and the sustainability of the agricultural sector in Nigeria. Prioritizing animal well-being isn't just a smart financial move; it's a fundamental duty for every livestock producer.

Livestock Conference 5.0: Animal Identification for Sustainable Agriculture Excerpt from Dr. Rufai’s response If you had an opportunity to speak with the new incoming minister for the ministry of livestock department, what are the first two or three things you would advise to better the livestock sector? Ahmed Rufai, the speaker at the Livestock247 conference, in his response gave three important pieces of advice. 1. Animal census: knowing the total number of animals will help us to know the control measure and plan accordingly. 2. To have surveillance in prevalent disease, which will help to know how and if the disease entered from outside the country and also the total number of vaccinations and drugs to be administered to the animals. 3. Animal Identification, which is the overall of all the points made; without animal identification, the entire process will not be possible.
