DCE RECEIVES 10,000 DAY-OLD BROILER CHICKS UNDER THE NKOKO NKITIKITI PROGRAMME FOR TALENSI DISTRICT
The District Chief Executive Hon. John Millim Nabwomya along with the District Director of Agric, Mr. Matthew Sulemana today received 10,000 day-old broiler chicks under the Government’s Nkoko Nkitikiti Programme for distribution to smallholder poultry farmers in the Talensi District.
The birds have been handed over to two selected service providers, with each receiving 5,000 chicks to nurture for four weeks before they are distributed to beneficiary farmers across the district.
To support the rearing process, each service provider has also been provided with six bags of feed and the necessary vaccines. The birds will receive their first Newcastle disease vaccination and the first and second doses of fowl pox vaccination before distribution.
The initiative is expected to strengthen poultry production, create livelihood opportunities and improve food security within the district.
Talensi District Assembly remains committed to supporting agriculture and improving livelihoods.
