Dear Readers,
It’s my pleasure to Welcome you to the Second Quarter Edition of Our newsletter. This edition highlights the Department’s key achievements and ongoing efforts to promote sustainable fisheries and livestock development, strengthen animal health systems, enhance food safety, and support national economic growth.
During the quarter under review, significant progress was made in disease surveillance and control, fish health management, extension services. Notably, the department with support from the food and agriculture organization and implementing partners Caritas Mongu,
officially handed over goats and feed pellet making machines to farmers as part of reviving livestock production, protect livelihoods,
and strengthen resilience among drought affected farming communities in the district. This progress reflects our commitment to safeguarding animal and public health while fostering food security in the district.
This edition also highlights the progress made by the department, in rabies mass dog vaccination in the district, this activity was made possible through strong collaboration with key partners such as, World Animal Health Organization, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock – Department of Veterinary Services, Office of the District commissioner, Office of the council secretary-Nalolo Town Council, Lusaka Animal Welfare society, Showgrounds Veterinary Clinic, and the University of Zambia. This partnership reflects the essence of this year’s theme Stronger Together and reminds us that rabies elimination is only possible if we work together and collaboration indeed increases impact.
