ProjectFactsheetImprovement 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
Also available in:
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. -

Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinMeat Market Review. Overview of global market developments in 2024 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The April 2025 issue of the publication summarizes the salient trends and drivers of market developments and significant public policy changes in 2024. The review shows that world meat production expanded in 2024, underpinned by increased slaughter and improved profitability. The review also illustrates that international trade in meat products rebounded in 2024, supported by easing inflationary pressures and stronger consumer purchasing power in many parts of the world, along with supply constraints in major importing countries. These factors contributed to firm international demand, driving a steady increase in global meat prices. -
