Strange disease kills 600 goats in Kikuube, 500 in Hoima district

“All my 40 goats have died in the last one week. I am appealing to the Government to intervene and help us because we get our income from the animals,” Kugonza said.

Kikuube district production officer Dr Barnabas Ntume said tests have confirmed Peste des Petits Ruminants, commonly known as goat and sheep plague, as the cause of goat deaths in Kikuube and Hoima districts. (New Vision/Files)
