Brief Description The agency provides technical assistance, free of charge, to its farmer-clientele in the areas of animal reproduction, animal nutrition, animal health, forage production and improved feeding system, cooperative development, and dairy production and processing. Experts on these areas are regularly sent to the villages to respond to the farmers’ specific needs.
