The Düzce Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry in Turkey has launched applications for a support scheme for breeders who purchase breeding rams or goats. The scheme will provide a support payment of 2,000 TL per animal to breeders who purchase breeding ram goats from the Ministry's elite herds, national projects, or ram goat centers. The aim of the scheme is to prevent the early slaughter of quality breeding animals and to spread quality breeding rams to base herds. Breeders must have a minimum of 25 female animals of the same breed as the ram or goat they are purchasing, and the application for support will close on July 31, 2024.
