Report of the Task Force on Development Fund

摘要

The task force on the Development Fund was formed to promote animal recording in developing countries and suggest modifications to the existing ICAR guidelines to suit the requirement of developing countries. As only a few countries from the developing world are members of ICAR, the task force mainly concentrated on promoting animal recording and ICAR activities in developing countries through organizing workshops and seminars. The task force so far has organized three workshops. The working group onbuffaloes also organized a workshop, in which a large number of people from developing countries participated. In each of these workshops, people from developing countries were invited and were provided with an opportunity to learn about successful implementation of animal recording and genetic evaluation programmes both in developing and developed countries. Such workshops also provided the participants with a platform for sharing of experiences among themselves. The main outcomes of these workshops are briefly described here.
