The Kano State Agro-Pastoral Development Project has budgeted N9.2million to purchase five pure breeds of Friesian bulls to boost animal insemination at Kadawa Insemination Center.

The center is situated at Garun-Malam Local government area of the state.

KSADP was supported by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB).

The project Coordinator, Ibrahim Garba-Muhammad, made this known through the project Communication Specialist, Ameen Yassar, in a statement on Friday in Kano.

He said that the contract was awarded to Hamjik Agric Plus Limited.

Garba-Muhammad said, “Friesian cattle produce large quantity of milk and their male calves can also be fattened to produce good quality beef.

“You may be aware that Kano has two Animal Insemination Centres, one in Kadawa and the other one in Makoda.

“Our project will equip and operationalize the one at Kadawa to enable it to inseminate 25,000 cows per annum, beginning from this year.

“That is why we are providing the bulls,” he said.

He stated that Artificial Insemination (AI) was an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) explored universally to deposit or store semen directly into a cow or heifer’s uterus.

Garba-Muhammad said this had numerous benefits over natural mating, which included reducing sexually transmitted diseases among cattle and improving genetic quality of livestock.

According to him, the insemination strategy would also go a long way in improving the livelihoods of pastoralists and cattle breeders, considering the increasing need for dairy products and beef in the state and the country at large.

“This initiative is part of the project’s objective to contribute to improving food and nutrition security as well as reducing poverty in the state,” he said.

N9.2million to purchase five pure breeds of Friesian bulls to boost animal insemination?


Tell this backward region to budget N900,000 to get textbooks and writing materials for schools, then you'll start hearing different excuses.

And team darling daddy won't be partakers of this unholy union o

This country is in your hand Oh Allah

Tax payers money is always sweet to appropriate outrageously, i wonder who buys 1 cow for 1m naira for his own personal use


I see many politicians and jobbers warming up for the next batch of loothers,


This I have seen!

Are they inviting those in the world beyond for merriments? Wasting scarce resources anyhow.
I don't really blame them, their Oga dey search for gracing route here and there across the Country, so we can not be more shocked than the shock itself.

Not surprised. . . Nigeria is ruled by one

Sahara Reporters doesn't lie

Sahara Reporters thank you for being there
You are the nation light through efficient and good journalism

Ok...

1.Kano state isn't buying Zebu cows, or fulani cows for N20000, they are buying Freisan cows...bulls...to mate with the home based cows...for science, and for improved yields, etc....

2. A bull may cost $1220...which in naira terms....502,200 naira. Five of them would cost over 2.5million naira. A bull may also cost $2000 , and five of them 4.5million naira.

3.There is some explaining to do about the remaining half of the kudi

Way too much but as expected,this is Nigeria.

This forum has become blindly tribalistic to the extent that people can't genuinely criticize a democratic government doing wrong or overrating budgets without being accused of indictment.

This is extremely irritating!.

golden cow dandollar way

Haaa

Sahara Reporters no d lie

It's true

purchase five pure breeds of Friesian bulls to boost animal insemination at Kadawa Insemination Center.


With our type of procurement system, this figure is not out of the ordinary.


Just a little internet search would have prevented you guys from running your mouth.

Do the maths

It is finished

Lol. I still don't get what is it with this government and cows though.

Government of cow by cow for the cows....I guess that's the new definition of government.
