Project Description:
The project aims at developing and enhancing beef cattle production efficiency while, mitigating methane emission based on the use of agricultural biomass and crop-residues seasonally available for the sustainable beef cattle production, as well as empowering the knowledge and practical experiences of the young active researchers and stakeholders engaged in the beef cattle production in the LMC member countries.
Project objectives:
The overall objectives of the RABIF-BeefC Project are as follows;
1. To organize seminars/workshops for all LMC project members to upskill, reskill and disseminate innovations of recycling agricultural biomass and fodder shrubs, including other biodiversity of feed resources, to enhance the BCP in the LMC countries.
2. To train-in young staff in research methodology and laboratory procedures used in the rumen fermentation, feed quality and meat analyses.
3. To intervene feeding technology based on agricultural biomass and fodder shrub including other biodiversity of feed resources, for fattening beef cattle as R&D in all LMC countries.
It is highly expected that the young active researchers and key-stakeholders in the LMC member countries of more than 90 persons will be empowered with the use of urea treated rice straw and phytonutrient pellet (MARABAC) to enhance beef cattle production and mitigate rumen methane emission.
