Gombe State Launches Advanced Livestock Insemination Centre
The Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) Project has successfully completed the construction of a modern Artificial Insemination (AI) and Breed Multiplication Centre in Gombe State. This initiative addresses challenges related to climate change, population growth, and the increasing demand for animal products.
The Centre is part of the broader livestock transformation agenda of the Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya-led administration, aimed at modernizing livestock production, improving farmers' livelihoods, and unlocking the economic potential of the sector. Located within the Faculty of Agriculture at Gombe State University, the Centre will provide access to improved livestock genetics, enhance animal productivity, and serve as a practical learning and training facility for students.
It will also support research, commercial artificial insemination services, and the development and distribution of quality genetic materials, contributing to improved breeds, higher productivity, and stronger livestock value chains.
