Zimbabwe has experienced a growth in its livestock population over the past year, with the number of cattle increasing to 5.5 million from 5.3 million, and goats growing to 4.3 million from 3.4 million. This growth is largely due to government interventions such as disease management and breeding heifer procurement. The country has also successfully reduced the prevalence of tick-borne diseases by 49% in 2020 and 37% in 2021. The government is implementing a livestock growth plan, which includes measures to protect breeding heifers and cows, and an artificial insemination program. However, there is a need for more dipping chemicals for small-scale farmers.
