KUDAKA supported the project 'Reducing Calf Mortality with Modern Livestock Techniques.
In the scope of the 2024 Technical Support Program, the support contract for the project "Reducing Calf Mortality with Modern Livestock Techniques," to be implemented by the Horasan District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, was signed. The signing ceremony took place at the North East Anatolia Development Agency (KUDAKA) headquarters, attended by KUDAKA Secretary General Oktay Güven, Horasan District Director of Agriculture and Forestry Sinan Ayhan, and responsible personnel from the institutions.
According to the data from 2023, approximately 800 out of 20,000 calves (4%) are lost in the region every year. Among the main reasons for this are the preference for traditional methods by individuals involved in livestock farming and their lack of awareness of modern techniques.
Within the scope of the project "Reducing Calf Mortality with Modern Livestock Techniques," training on modern livestock techniques will be provided to farmers and livestock breeders in 12 villages within the Horasan district. The aim is to reduce calf mortality, which is a significant problem in livestock farming. Additionally, it is expected that raising awareness about calf care and health through these trainings will contribute to preventing calf mortality and enhancing meat and milk production in the region.
