Artificial insemination relaunched for small ruminants

The Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) yesterday relaunched its artificial insemination (AI) in small ruminants programme.

A release from the Ministry of Agriculture said that the programme which formed part of the agency’s 2021 capital budget, included the procurement of laparoscopic equipment and training of staff after the agency would’ve signed a contract with Mini Tube Germany to the tune of $15 million.

While offering remarks at the exercise, Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha said that aim of the programme was to modernize and strengthen small ruminant development in Guyana.
