On May 9, 2025, students pursuing a BSc in Agriculture ( Animal Major) Year 4 had the opportunity to visit a feed manufacturing company specializing in animal feeds. This experience served as an extension of their coursework on ration formulation, allowing them to engage with real-world applications. During the visit, they gained valuable insights into the process of producing various types of animal feed.
On April 25, 2025, the dedicated staff of our department participated in a tree planting exercise at University of Nairobi Vet Farm, Kanyariri. This initiative was part of our commitment to environmental conservation and creating a greener, healthier future. By planting trees, we are helping to restore natural habitats, combat climate change, and enhance the beauty of our surroundings.
Together, we’re making a lasting impact—one tree at a time.
