URUS Genetics has partnered with the National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT) to advance innovations in silage, hay, pasture development, and forage production to strengthen livestock nutrition and support the country’s agricultural growth..
URUS Genetics representatives recently visited NIHORT to discuss a strategic investment and partnership proposal. They also agreed about improving NIHORT’s cattle through artificial insemination with superior URUS genetic material.
This alliance will leverage URUS’s worldwide leadership in cattle genetics and Nihort NG’s experience in sustainable forage solutions to increase livestock production, resilience, and profitability.
The meeting between the two organisations also explored enhancing NIHORT’s cattle through artificial insemination using serial genetic materials from URUS. The partnership aims to leverage NIHORT’s expertise in sustainable forage technologies and URUS’ global leadership in cattle genetics to boost livestock productivity, resilience, and profitability.
The collaboration aligns with both organisations’ mission to foster sustainable livestock systems, support food security, and stimulate economic growth in Nigeria’s horticultural value chain by combining cutting-edge forage preservation techniques.
The program aims to enhance breeds and address important issues in cattle nutrition, setting up Nigeria’s livestock sector for significant change.
