- Increase production and productivity of nondescript animals by cross breeding through artificial and natural breeding.
- Develop establishment of organized resource farms in private sector, for improved animal genetic resource supply, especially, through progeny testing program.
- Substitute import of milk and meat, by increasing domestic production.
2. Short and Medium-term
- Complete characterization, identification, selection, conservation and utilization of indigenous animal genetic resources, for better production and productivity.
- Increase the productivity of cattle and buffalo, through artificial insemination program in road approachable areas, and natural breeding in remote areas.
