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 subsidy of 2,000 TL per animal. The aim of the scheme is to ensure that breeding rams or goats, raised in small ruminant breeding national projects, are distributed to base herds and to prevent early slaughter of qualified animals. Breeders must have at least 25 female animals of the same breed as the ram or goat they are purchasing, and must be registered and active in TÜRKVET before 1/1/2023. The application deadline is July 31, 2024.
