No results found.The workshop from which these proceedings form the report, was convened by representatives of the environmental, fisheries and policy development agencies of the six riparian countries Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and their international partners to develop an implementation plan for the use and dissemination of genetically improved Nile tilapia in the Volta Basin and surrounding areas. The objectives were to create protocols for regional cooperation regarding the follow ing key issues: international agreements on movement of improved germplasm; environmental impact assessment and conservation plan for genetic resources; and a selective breeding programme and hatchery accreditation. It is hoped that the recommendations of this workshop will serve not only the Volta Basin but also African aquaculture at large. -
ProjectImprovement of Milk Production from Kenana Cattle Breed in the Sudan Through Delivery of Improved Feeding and Husbandry Practices and Biotechnology Techniques (Artificial Insemination) - TCP/SUD/3805 2025

No results found.The Sudan has a significant need and substantial potential to increase milk and beef production from Kenana and Butana cattle breeds. Kenana cattle are primarily raised for milk in villages, urban areas, and semi-nomadic settings, grazing naturally and relying on crop residues from rain-fed agricultural systems. Along with Butana cattle breed, Kenana cattle are among the top milk producers in the Sudan and serve as valuable sources of quality bulls and dams for genetic improvement in other states. However, the full potential of these promising dairy breeds has not yet been realized due to factors such as inadequate breeding technologies and poor feeding practices, even though effective strategies are achievable at a relatively low cost. Following independence, the Sudanese government established two livestock research stations in 1957 for the genetic conservation of Butana and Kenana cattle breeds. The Um Banien Livestock Production Research Station in Sinnar State was set up to improve the Kenana breed through selective breeding, produce elite Kenana bulls for distribution, and conduct research on forage production and animal feeding. However, the station was severely damaged and neglected in the early 1990s, resulting in a halt to its activities despite the significant local genetic resources available. -
