An ICRC employee helps a livestock specialist vaccinate a cow as an official from the Plateau State Ministry of Agriculture approaches, ready to mark the animal once it has been vaccinated.
In October 2014, the ICRC worked with the Plateau State Ministry of Agriculture to vaccinate over 94,000 cattle and 17,000 sheep and goats in Plateau State communities affected by violence. We provided vaccines and veterinary experts for the campaign, which covered four local government areas: Barkin Ladi, Riyom, Shendam and Quanpan.
Earlier in 2014, the ICRC had distributed seedlings and fertilizers to farmers in the communities where this round of vaccinations took place.
