It aims further to transfer technologies to local farmers on how to raise quality and high breed cattle which is in demand in the international market. It encourages and helps farmers and other individuals to venture on cattle raising as the country has vast pasture lands viable for mass cattle production. Cattle raising is one of the investments with high probability of return of investment which improve the quality of livelihood they have for the benefit of their families and the economy of the country.
