Overall Analytical Enumeration of Various Samples in Disease Investigation Laboratory, Peshawar

• Livestock Breed Improvement Program was launched in the financial year 1977-78, and
• so for a total of 310 AI centers have been established in the entire province. In these
• institutions, our local non-descript cattle breeds with low production potentials are crossed
• with exotic breeds of higher production capabilities. In this way crossbred progeny
• with more production potentials, as compared to local cattle population, is obtained.
• The genetic structure of local buffalo population is improved through selective breeding with Nili-Ravi breed of Punjab Province.

LIVESTOCK RESEARCH STATION JABA MANSEHRA

   (JABA SHEEP FARM)

  Livestock Research Station was established in 1954-55 on 579 acres of land at a distance of 17 Km North East of Mansehra city on Mansehra Naran Jalkot (MNJ) road. Initially in 1956-57, 80 Ewes and 5 Rambouillet rams and later on in 1992, 300 Ewes and 21 rams of the same breed were imported from USA for up gradation of local sheep population. At present total sheep strength maintained at the Farm is 427 heads, along with 73 numbers of Beetal goats, which were introduced in 2002-03.

•     Objective of the Farm

• Maintaining a nucleus flock of Rambouillet.
• Develop an elite flock of cross breed sheep.
• Distribute improved rams to the farmers for cross breeding.
• Trained extension staff and farmers on improved sheep management practices.
• Transfer of technology package to farmer.
• It also serves as research centre for experimental purpose for student as well as researchers.

The long term objectives of the farm is to develop the sheep Industry for production of fine wool in the province through the cross breeding as an overall economic development of the province and the country. To achieve the maximum production from our sheep, we enhance their genetic potential through selective and cross breeding, providing adequate balanced ration through proper management and protection from contagious, non-contagious and parasitic diseases

9.1. INTRODUCTION

• Animal Husbandry In-service Training Institute (AHITI), Peshawar was established in 1986 under the framework of bilateral development cooperation between the Government of Pakistan and the Netherlands. The Dutch Government completed the project Period in 1998-99 and since then Institute is being run by the Provincial Government. Besides the In service Training of Live stock and Dairy Development Department AHITI extended its mandate to the Commercial Trainings in various Disciplines to different organizations and NGOs.
• AHITI has the history of participatory approach in each discipline, but with the announcement of provincial Agriculture Policy 2005, more emphasis has been given to the concept of community participation. Now AHITI is promoting the sense of ownership amongst the community, to be listened and acknowledge by the Government Livestock Institutions in the decision making process. This awareness message is conveyed through training programs both for farmers and the department employees Now even farmers trainings are designed according to the wishes of farmers.
• Community Participation is meaningless without the women involvement. AHITI has adopted two types of strategy for women trainings. For advance trainings, women are brought to AHITI, and training within the campus is provided to them. For the basic training the women community members are trained in their own villages outside the campus of AHITI.
• To implement the Provincial Agriculture Policy 2005 in liter and spirit, during the current            financial year the following new disciplines are introduced in the training program of AHITI

• Dairy Technology
• Flaying Techniques & Buttering skills
• Livestock Farmers field School (LFFS)

• Animal Husbandry In-service Training Institute undertakes to accomplish the following assigned tasks in connection of its responsibility towards the development of Livestock sector.
• To provide regular In-service training to extension workers of the Livestock & Dairy Development Department.
• To change the general attitude of department field staff from curative Livestock healthcare towards preventive one.
• To organize tailor-made courses for the trainees of other Government Institutions, Non-Government Organizations and Area Development Projects, engaged in Livestock sector development activities.
• To create teams of Men and Women activists as Livestock Extension Workers (LEWs).
• To provide consultancy services to other organizations in feasibility studies, project designing and curriculum development.
