Descripción
This fact sheet provides a detailed description on the intended support to the livestock sector under FAO Iraq EU funded project "Support to agricultural livelihoods of rural and peri-urban returnees and communities in Ninewah Governorate, Iraq".
Livestock is a major contributor to income in Iraq, and Ninewa governorate is a major reservoir of livestock in Iraq, mainly of sheep production. Beneficiaries of this intervention will benefit from the provision of veterinary services, processing and marketing, development of fodder crops and other feeding technologies, and training to strengthen their capacity in improved livestock management and hygiene. Extension agents from Ministry of Agriculture, private veterinarians and staff from NGOs and other organizations working with other livestock projects will also benefit from the training sessions and extension manuals and leaflets produced by the project.
