GOAT HEALTH PROTECTION STARTS WITH VACCINATION Today we visited DGC Farm, Itori, Ogun State, Nigeria, to vaccinate goats against PPR, a deadly viral disease threatening herds and productivity Protect goats

Peste des petits ruminants is an acute highly contagious transboundary viral infection affecting sheep and goats, causing serious losses through high morbidity and mortality among small ruminant populations Preserve health

Farmers must understand that PPR control requires vaccination, awareness, and proper management practices because the disease reduces productivity and affects livelihoods of communities depending on goats and sheep Always vaccinate

The vaccination exercise at DGC Farm demonstrates commitment toward preventing devastating outbreaks and supporting sustainable animal production across Nigeria through improved herd protection and disease prevention measures Keep animals safe

Protecting goats from PPR helps secure farmers income, food supply, and agricultural development while strengthening the future of small ruminant farming through responsible veterinary interventions and regular programmes Choose prevention
