D minister is perfectly right, of all animal products, beef is d number one meat that dominates d Nigerian market n has d highest demand to spice up our cooking pots but d production of beef has been left to d mercy of d fulanis alone n diz fulanis lack d modern techniques of beef production, I doubt they know what artificial insemination is (A.I) so their only means of breeding more calves is jus pen mating or flock mating which doesn't produce hi yield of bred calves but with d use of d Artificial Insemination(A.I) there wud b veri hi yield of bred calves which means more cattles across d country, so indeed d university communities shud teach these herdsmen d use of A.I in breeding programs, secondly, FG shud not fail in establishing ranches to enhance proper grazing n avoid d cases of cattles roaming all over d country 4 green pastures as this maks dem burn off enuf calories which reduces d quantity n quality of meat, Fg govt shud also import some exotic beef breeds eg Agnus, hereford,short horn, limousine, charolaise, D'cementer, Maine-ajou for cross-breeding with our local breeds in Nigeria to improve breeding stock n quality of beef then as for milk production Fg can import exotic dairy breeds like guensey, Jersey, Holstein friesians in USA , brown swiss in Switzerland etc d dairy breeds in nigeria are few e.g D sokoto gudali, adamawa gudali, white fulani, red bororo n these breeds av poor quality milk. also Fg shud carry out tse-tse fly eradication programs to reduce d case of trypanosomiasis which affects our cattles n reduces their population, n also vaccination of our cattles against ruminant diseases. if d fg do all these it will save d cattle industry n prevent beef scarcity, FG shud also venture in general ruminant industry which will involve production of goats n sheeps cuz Maybe we r too dependent on cattle products. d FG govt knows what to do. Generally pple shud b encouraged 2 go into ruminant production lets practice Agriculture to d fullest if truly we're determined to diversify our economy to Agriculture. shoutout the minister of Agriculture Audu Ogbeh, shoutout all graduates n under-graduates of Agriculture. lets strive our best to mak Agriculture d heart of Nigerian economy. am proudly an Agriculturist from d great Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro Nigeria. Agriculturists! we feed the Nation. |

Pork production all the way to people whose pork is in their meal list. The only only prolific, healthiest and leanest red meat to meet up the demand of animal protein in the meal of Nigeria. Let's emulate SA, china among others 1 Like |

Suprnov3r: After you wail finish...come and take handkerchief and for free. Since you began your wailing ministry, how much have you gained? What results have you gotten? Stop bothering this platform with your hues and crys, No be only you dey Nigeria or nairaland. If you're serious, take your complaints to Abuja or at least to your state government house or a TV station. If you need clothes for banner and money to print on them. Say so, people of like minds may donate to your course. But this wailing must stop, it's Monday morning biko. |

The more reason why the ancient system of wandering should be abolished and ranches established within the expansive Savannah zone of Nigeria. Irrigation should be employed for dry season pasture. |

NwaAmaikpe: Words of an ignoramus Audu Ogbeh is about the biggest farmer in Nigeria. He is a consultant to most big farmers in the North and beyond. He was not made a Minister for nothing! |
Re: FG Warns Of Beef, Dairy Products Scarcity by JOMAX: 11:20am On Aug 14, 2017 |
Cows are not meant to march around. They are not horses,’’ he said. well said. Why not encourage ranching as a private business. With proper irrigation and forraging along hybrids the north alone has more than enough land to support husbandary to international standard. And what happened to access to high value nutritional and competitive stock from the international market? Meanwhile y is no attention given to alternatives as fish, poultry etc. WE NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH |

5DMindset: We are not. We are omnivores by design. Our teeth have both cutting and grinding types. Cutting for meat diets and grinding for plant based diets. Our intestines are not as long as herbivores and not as short as carnivores. It is in the middle to take care of both types of diets |

Hmmm! When everybody seems to be fuming hatred against Fulani. Even a falls from a palm tree and dies, the news men when start accusing Fulani herdsmen. When people are attacked in the church by their rival factions, Fulani herdsmen. Many governors are planning to stop Fulani men from gaining access to the God gifted green fields in Nigeria. Hatred for PMB as a Fulani man has recently stirred high animosity to cattle breeders who suffer a lot amidst rainfall, scorching sun to provide beef and milk to Nigerians. Sadly, many have lost their lives and cattle to hoodlums for decades but since they don't own any media outfit to relay their grievances. They benefit but little or nothing from government except false accusations and marginalization. Nigerian Fulani herdsmen are peace loving but due to the porosity of our national borders, many so called Fulani herdsmen have crossed over from neighboring countries into the country causing havoc. Thus, it is high time the government at all levels should begin to recognize the importance of beef and milk production with a view of supporting cattle breeders with incentives to enhance sustainability before it is too late. Also, private individuals should be encouraged to establish farm centers for beef and milk production. This should be done through tax and monetary incentives to enable them import modern breeds and machinery. Finally, indigenous herdsmen should be educated and enlightened to establish farm ranches nationwide to curb farmers-herdsmen clashes. New techniques of producing green fodder to feed their cattle and other modern inventions in animal husbandry should be introduced to the cattle breeders to encourage them settle down and grow their animal production. Government should also provide conducive atmosphere for marketing and transportation of animal products. Industries like milk, beef, hides and skin should be established to curb with the alarming rate of unemployment and boost our ailing economy. Nigeria is a great country, but our politicians have managed to destroy our social cohesion and instill sentiments in our minds resulting to failure of our people to contribute to nation's building. We MUST join hands to say NO. Let us put Nigeria first. Long live Nigeria! |

Which milk is fg importing? |
Re: FG Warns Of Beef, Dairy Products Scarcity by mfm04622: 1:47pm On Aug 14, 2017 |
Ngokafor: There are only 2 types of meat. White and red meat. Fish and chicken are white meat. Beef, pork, and meat from other animals are red meat. Yes, they may taste different but health wise, they are same. |

mfm04622: Then proceed with your diet, I have no problems with how you choose to eat. Not my business, i just stated my opinion in order to keep and maintain optimum health. I do not eat meat and I have never been sick. |

Is there any way we can just finish it so that the Fulani's go return back to base(Niger). Here, the roaming cows look lean, with poor meat quality. Cows are not meant to march around. They are not horses,’’ he said. Above highlighted Seem Audu is agreeing to the fact that nomadic farming is bad. |
