Artificial Insemination (AI) which is the placement of semen suspension into the female Reproductive tract was conducted on 66 animals at Aranaputa, North Rupununi by Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) staff on 9th -10th June, 2023.
This AI Programme for Cattle fulfills a promise made to the people of the community by President Irfaan Ali when he visited the community two months ago, a release from the GLDA said. Other promises delivered include the provision of planting materials i.e. peanuts and cassava sticks.
A team from GLDA’s Genetics Laboratory spearheaded this activity. The team comprised Dr. Renita Lashley, Head of Genetics Unit; Lyndon Stanley, AI Technician and Melissa Boston, LEO. Other GLDA staff in the region who assisted were Dr. Andray Pearson, Elvan Hamilton and Joshua Hinds.
Persons interested in this service can send a letter of request to GLDA’s stockfarm office and they will be advised further.
