Summary
Agriculture Cabinet secretary Peter Munya said the cases, which was first discovered in February, have been reported in areas neighbouring the Transmara sub-county.
He said the disease has had severe effects on dairy cattle with high mortalities also seen in calves, pointing out that the vaccines had been dispatched to combat the menace.
Mr Munya said there had been a challenge with indigenous breeds such as Zebus and Sahiwal that have been asymptomatic as they aided in transmission of the disease to the susceptible improved herds.
A recurrent case of the deadly foot-and-mouth disease that has been reported in Narok County is posing a serious challenge to farmers in the region who now face reduced milk production and animal deaths.
