“This would go a long way in reducing the age-long conflicts between livestock and crop farmers to the barest minimum.

“Gamba grass and andropogon seeds are simple to grow and good food supplement for animals which would, over time, reduce the frequency of movement of livestock from one area to another in search of pasture,” she further explained.

“The farmers should always maintain good husbandry and practice climate smart livestock agriculture production” she said.

While appreciating the intervention of the federal government, Pavali said the Taraba State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security was considering an enhanced partnership with the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project to improve the state’s livestock sector.

Hajiya Aishatu Ardo, a beneficiary of the exercise who spoke on behalf of others, appreciated the Federal Ministry of Agriculture for it’s timely intervention and assured that the support would be properly utilized to improve the quality of livestock in their farms.
