Series 15 - Ep 16: Shoats, Beef Cattle, Sprayer and Shamba ni Biz Drama
Welcome to the 15th season of Shamba Shape Up!
This week we are in Birika in Kajiado County and we are revisiting farmer Godfrey and his wife Everlyne after 9 years.
After losing over 100 cows and 300 sheep and goats in the last devastating drought, Godfrey and Everlyne are bravely starting over. With a new vision, modern tools, and expert support, they're ready to rebuild. This episode dives into how we're helping them fortify their livestock systems to safeguard against future disasters and make their shamba more resilient than ever.
This week we are learning:
1. Small Ruminant Health: Master the art of managing internal and external parasites in your goats and sheep, get practical tips on cost-effective mineral supplementation, and see why a well-built spray crush and safe housing are vital.
2. Smart Sprayer Solutions: Discover how STIHL’s efficient backpack sprayer makes protecting animals from skin parasites simple, even with thick coats, promoting healthier livestock.
3. Beef Cattle Management: Unpack smart, drought-proof beef cattle strategies like paddocking, efficient grass harvesting, and planned herd reduction. We also cover essential feed planning and mineral support for their survival and quick recovery."
