Considering the many challenges small-scale cattle breeders face, FAO launched a project on artificial insemination to boost breeders’ livelihoods. The project aims to improve breeding and service quality in the livestock sector through a better organized and high-quality system for delivering artificial insemination and animal production services to farms.

Improved and sustainable livestock production is a national priority for agricultural development in Azerbaijan, and animal breeding and feeding are both necessary components of this.

FAO supports not only to increase the number of trained inseminators, but also to improve the quality of their services through providing them with modern practical and theoretical knowledge. Thus, new inseminators as well as established technicians can benefit.
