For instance in Tanzania we have animal traceability policy but it is not yet practically well implemented and this is the problem of most of the African countries facing at the moment.

This is because our livestock products are banned from entering overseas markets simply they lack these information and we therefore fail to fully exploit the…[Read more]

The inability of these failures is contributed by a number of factors but the most important ones include;…[Read more]

AI, MOET, Semen sexing, Gene cloning, etc.), AI stand to be the best way of applying genetic information due to its potentiality and positive impact to the poor rural African farmers. The uniqueness/specialities of AI as compared to other AART is that: The uptake of AI to farmers is…[Read more]

Therefore, once the programme is successful it…[Read more]
