# 🐄 Mifugo AI
> Kenya Livestock Advisory for Pastoralists
Kenya has 47 million livestock animals generating KES 180B annually, yet pastoralists — who own 75% of this livestock — have almost no access to veterinary services or market information in Swahili. Mifugo AI brings livestock disease diagnosis, breed selection, feed management, and market prices to Kenyan herders.
