DOST PCAARRD

Did you know that farmers can increase their goat population while maintaining genetic quality without the need to keep a male breeder on the farm?

This can be attained through artificial insemination, a method that involves collecting semen from a male breeder goat and depositing it into a doe’s reproductive tract.

This is one of the initiatives of the DOST-PCAARRD under the Industry Strategic S&T Program for Goat.
