The Artificial Insemination Centre in Cameroon - A success story

摘要

The production of high quality livestock and livestock products depends largely on the type of animals, management practices and environment. The North West region of Cameroon is located at 1300 to 2500 m above sea level and is suitable for cattle farming as the climatic conditions are fair, the annual rainfall of 2000 mm is regular and the region is not tsetse fly infested. Farmers were interested in producing milk and dairy products and therefore Heifer International initiated a project in the 1970s to increase milk production in the area.
