    The Nigerian Society for Animal Production (NSAP) has called on the newly created Ministry of Livestock Development to establish species-based livestock research institutes in each of the country’s six geopolitical zones.

    The call was made at the 50th annual national conference of the society, held at the Federal University of Lafia, Nasarawa State.

    In a communiqué signed by NSAP President, Prof. Olaniyi Babayemi, and Secretary, Dr. Folasade Jemiseye, the group said that such institutes would promote specialized research and development in animal agriculture, tailored to regional strengths and species.

    The society also recommended that the proposed institutes should be supported with regular interactions involving researchers, policymakers, and producers through workshops, community-based seminars, and scientific conferences.

    The conference, themed “Exploring the Transformations in Animal Agriculture for Food Security, Wealth Creation and Economic Growth”, brought together stakeholders from government, academia, private sector, farming communities, and traditional institutions. It was formally opened by the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Lafia, Professor Shehu Abdul Rahman.

    NSAP highlighted the urgent need for technological innovation, improved livestock management, and policy support to address challenges in the livestock sector. It emphasized stock improvement using a combination of genetic selection and modern breeding technologies to enhance productivity of indigenous breeds.

    The communiqué stated: “Precision feeding strategies includingtotal mixed ration (TMR), use of alternative feed resources, and animal health innovations such as rapid diagnostic kits, vaccines, and precision drug administration must be adopted by stakeholders to improve growth rates, egg and milk production.”

     

    It also called for climate-smart livestock practices and urged the government to introduce policies that support local production of research equipment and acquisition of digital monitoring tools, through subsidies and tax waivers.

     

    To support job creation and innovation, the society advocated youth-driven agribusiness initiatives, digital livestock solutions, and skills-based training programmes aligned with the national livestock transformation agenda.

     

    NSAP further urged stronger collaboration between researchers and the livestock industry to ensure sustainable food production and economic diversification in Nigeria.
