Two successful workshops were held to train small farmers in improving livestock breeding practices in October, focusing on sheep and goat health and reproduction. The workshops took place in two communities: Jatanca and Tecapa. The first workshop in Jatanca saw a strong community turnout, reflecting the local farmers’ eagerness to learn. The second workshop, held in Tecapa, extended its reach to nearby towns, including Tecapa, Santonte, Santa María, and Pueblo Nuevo, engaging a wider audience.
The central theme of the workshops was “Health and Reproduction in Sheep and Goats,” a critical area of knowledge for farmers looking to enhance their livestock production. Veterinarian Martín Zambrano, an expert in the field, led the sessions, offering practical advice and technical insights to improve livestock management. He emphasized the importance of proper breeding techniques, disease prevention, and overall animal care.
These workshops did not just impart valuable technical information; they also sparked greater interest and commitment from the farmers to apply these practices in their herds. By equipping farmers with the knowledge to improve breeding practices, these workshops contribute to the long-term sustainability of livestock farming in the region, fostering healthier herds and more productive farming practices.
