Livestock Feed

ECOSOM’s animal feed boosts Somalia’s livestock sector by improving nutrition, productivity, and climate resilience. Our formula uses local ingredients like Prosopis pods and agricultural byproducts to deliver proven results: 80-100% faster weight gain in goats/sheep and 100-150% higher milk yields in cows.

These feeds provide reliable nutrition during droughts, reducing livestock losses while increasing food and income for pastoralist families. Women lead 70% of our feed production and distribution, creating economic opportunities while strengthening household food security.

By 2026, we aim to reach 40,000+ tons of livestock feed, helping Somalia’s pastoralists thrive despite climate challenges. ECOSOM’s feed solutions demonstrate how sustainable innovation can transform food systems in vulnerable regions.
