Reports on USAID assistance to the Ministry of Animal and Forest Resources (MAFR) from 7/1/60-3/31/68 to improve livestock and poultry production in Northern Nigeria. A total of 19 direct-hire technicians, 4 contract technicians, and 12 TDY personnel were provided. USAID commodities totaled $1.5 million. Six range areas were selected as range management demonstration units. However, resources were spread too thinly, and the trng situation was very poor. Only the Katsuna unit has made a start on mgmt with fire and trespass control, identification of animals, and control of grazing. No studies have yet been done to determine actual range conditions, trends or present and future carrying capacities. The goal of 1000 breeding cows at the Bornu Ranch was not met. Obtaining high quality animals was difficult; and additional stock water corrals and subdivisional fencing are needed. Day-to-day problems were so numerous and insoluble that no pattern of organized dvlp & mgmt was established. At the Manchock Ranch, site the cattle fattening demonstration, 12 of 20 planned pastures were fenced and 80% of the buildings were completed. The cold meat market at Kaduna operated satisfactorily.

Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from evaluation period; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
