The Department of Veterinary Surgery and Obstetrics, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Basrah, organized a guidance course for buffalo breeders in Al-Jawiya subdistrict, Al-Zubair district.
The symposium, which was presented by Dr. Abdel Bari Abbas Sahi, Dr. Taher Abdel Hussein Fahad, Dr. Bassem Kazem Khajouri, Dr. Loay Ahmed Taim, Dr. Zainab Bakr, Dr. Muhammad Rasan and Dr. Nour Hassan, included awareness lectures to preserve livestock and reduce disease infections by following veterinary instructions and also listened to the suffering of breeders regarding feed.
The symposium recommended the provision of government support to reduce the rise in feed prices, which caused the loss of more than 50% of livestock in Basrah Governorate, in addition to the damage of the salt wedge that Basrah Governorate suffers from, which in turn reduced the agricultural and water areas that are the site of buffalo breeding, and the lecturers promised to raise this suffering for the concerned parties for the purpose of finding appropriate solutions to these problems.
