In a move to strengthen cooperation between the College of Agriculture at the University of Basra and the private sector, the Agricultural Consulting Office has begun providing technical and scientific supervision to the cattle farm belonging to Bayader Al-Basra Company, as well as two of the company's marketing outlets. This collaboration aims to develop livestock production systems and ensure the quality and marketing of food products in accordance with approved scientific and health standards.
Through this partnership, the office has formed a specialized team from the Departments of Animal Production and Food Science. This team will provide on-site supervision and consultation for calf breeding and fattening operations, manage nutrition and veterinary care, and monitor the manufacturing and marketing stages of food products to guarantee their safety and quality.
The work also includes collecting representative samples of various products and conducting rigorous microbiological and technical analyses on them in the College of Agriculture's laboratories to verify their compliance with required standards and quality specifications.
The Dean of the College of Agriculture, Professor Dr. Sarmad Ghazi Mohammed Al-Shawi, emphasized that this collaboration is part of the college's efforts to apply academic expertise to serve local production sectors and enhance the role of the Agricultural Consulting Office as a reliable scientific resource in the field of developing livestock production and food industries.
For its part, Bayader Al-Basra Company expressed its high appreciation for the efforts of the University of Basra and the College of Agriculture, praising the efficiency of the scientific and technical staff participating in the project, which contributed to improving the level of production and enhancing confidence in the quality of local animal products.
