The price of animal feeds has gone up by Sh100 to reach an all-time high as the cost of maize continues to rise amid a stalemate on the importation of yellow grain that is touted to tame the cost.

The price of a 70-kilogramme bag of the dairy meal has gone up from Sh3,400 last December last year to Sh3,500, chick marsh is retailing at Sh4,300 from Sh4,200 while layers is now selling at Sh3,900 from Sh3,800.
