Artificial insemination service to cattle farmers stressed

RAJSHAHI, Nov 19 (BSS): All field-level officials, employees and volunteers concerned should perform their duties with utmost sincerity and honesty to reach artificial insemination services to farmers' doorsteps for improving cattle varieties and to fulfill the region's gradually mounting demands for protein.
Large-scale promotion of the livestock sector is very important to remove the existing protein deficiency alongside ensuring food security. So, utmost emphasis should be given to promoting artificial insemination in cattle after the best uses of modern technologies.
Academics and researchers made the observation while addressing different technical sessions of daylong training titled "Vocational Service, Education and Empowerment: Artificial Insemination in Animals" here on Saturday.
BRAC and Rajshahi University (RU) jointly organised the training for the artificial insemination service providers at RU Narkelbaria campus.
Dean of RU's Veterinary and Animal Science Faculty Professor Jalal Uddin Sarder addressed the training as the chief guest, while Professor Akhtarul Islam of the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences was in the chair.
