It would take 4.4 million bunle grass to save 10% of the cattle in Borena. 10% of the cattle in the Borena zone need 4.4 million pounds of grass to be saved, according to the zone administration.
The drought caused more than 3 million animals to perish there. 85% of these, according to reports, are cattle.
The 230,000 remaining cattle are attempting to be saved. It was suggested that at least 4.4 million bales of hay be made available to keep the cattle alive for three months.
Jarso Boru, the zone administrator, also stated that 135 thousand quintals of fodder were needed but only 1% could be supplied.
According to FBC, the administrator understood that there might not be as much help available as needed to save the ailing cattle.
The manager claims that the zone has lost 33 billion birr as a result of the deaths of horned cattle.
