Kayna on alert: A mysterious epidemic is decimating goats, poultry, and the hopes of farmers.
14.04.2026
The Kayna health zone is facing a worrying epidemic affecting small livestock, particularly goats and chickens, as well as some cows. According to local herders, the first cases were reported as early as January 2026, before spreading rapidly to several communes and villages in the region.
Alarming symptoms and a fatal outcome
The disease typically manifests with symptoms such as a cold, diarrhea, and general weakness in the animals. After about a week of observation, most of the animals succumb despite treatment attempts. This rapid progression is causing serious concern among farmers, who feel helpless in the face of the scale of the problem.
Unsuccessful treatment attempts
Despite the farmers' efforts to administer treatments, the results remain ineffective. Even veterinary interventions, including vaccination campaigns, have failed to stop animal mortality, leaving the exact nature of the disease uncertain.
A major blow for rural households
For many families, livestock farming is a vital source of income and a cornerstone of their life plans. Today, this epidemic is jeopardizing their economic stability. Some farmers, who relied on their animals to finance important events such as dowries or family ceremonies, are now unable to carry out their plans.
A call for urgent intervention
Faced with this dramatic situation, the livestock farmers of Kayna are making an urgent appeal to the relevant authorities and veterinary services for swift and effective intervention. They hope for thorough analyses and appropriate solutions to stop this devastation and preserve their livelihoods.
