Drought
Niue is suffering its worst drought in ten years with large numbers of livestock dying through lack of feed. In a bid to overcome the shortage of cattle feed New Zealand has sent 24 tonne of cattle nuts to Niue. About 70 head of cattle have already died during the drought which has led to chronic shortages of livestock feed. A further shipment of 3,000 bales of hay is hoped to be. sent on the Toa Moana this
month. Niue’s total cattle population was about 800 head.
