The most prevalent animal diseases discovered in the field were majorly tick borne diseases, fasciolaisis and trypanosomosis. Sick animals were treated by me under the under the supervision of my field supervisor. The community of Ochero town council enjoyed consumption of safe and quality meat as the carcasses of all slaughtered animals were thoroughly inspected. The administration of Ochero town council is advised to put right the fence in the kraal which has already collapsed. Control of entry and exit of livestock will be easy once the new fencing is put in place.
