Improvement and implementation of livestock production and marketing program utilizing the livestock sale barn : final report

This program will link the producer, trader, consumer, and export market as well as improve health, nutrition, veterinary services, and supplies. The LSB will also include providing training programs through private extension courses for health and nutrition, and distribution of information regarding proper animal husbandry practices for the small farmers/producers and traders. This program will improve the livelihoods of the livestock producer in Yemen by increasing the domestic livestock production for food security, contributing to the improved health and productive capacity of local livestock, and upgrading the quality of livestock through a continued cross-breeding and artificial insemination program. The LSB will also assist in the development of creditworthy farmer/producer enterprises and strengthen the transparency of farm associations and their ability to effectively organize in order to receive financial services.
