Iranian Researchers Apply Scientific Method to Improve Breeding in Lightweight Livestock
Massoud Didarkhah, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA that lightweight livestock in Iran are low-breeding animals, adding, “The reason for the high price of meat is the low rate of breeding by the country's livestock, and the only way to settle this problem is to use high-breeder foreign livestock and their amalgamation with the Iranian livestock.”
“This will increase multiple births and promotes livestock farming,” he said.
“For instance, the milk production of lightweight livestock in Iran is 200 ml of milk per day, and if we crossbreed with breeds that produce 1 to 3 kilos of milk per day, we will increase the milk production of these livestock,” Didarkhah said.
“Another activity of our company is in the field of thinning the lightweight livestock’s sperm which is considered as a strategic product which can also be exported,” he added.
In a relevant development earlier this month, researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based firm developed special biological products and drugs for application in the livestock industry and pets.
“Due to the importance of innovation in production of advanced hi-tech drugs and the necessity for non-dependence on foreign technologies in strategic areas like drugs and biological materials, we produced and commercialized the biological products and medicine for the livestock industry,” said Zakaria Zeynali, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
He pointed to the importance of making biological products for safer prevention and treatment of certain dangerous and epidemic diseases of livestock and poultry in Iran, and said, “The customers of these knowledge-based products include the livestock and poultry farmers, veterinarians, animal clinics and hospitals, poultry and veterinary pharmacies and pet health care centers.”
Noting that none of the registered knowledge-based pharmaceutical products of his company have domestic or even foreign counterparts due to their high technology, quality, faster effect and long shelf life, Zeynali said, “The results of successful trials and precise tests indicate the long-term stability of these products.”
