The National Council for the Regulation and Promotion of the Dairy Industry (with milk) and the General Directorate of Livestock (Digga) develop a training program in cycle alteration, estrus synchronization and bovine artificial insemination.
The program is developed through the Livestock Improvement Project in the Dominican Republic (Promegan), which seeks to enable ranchers to apply the techniques correctly.
Since his arrival, President Luis Abinader has reiterated its support to the livestock sectorfor which it has allocated the resources to achieve the goals set.

According to the technician Pascual Medranoin charge of the continuous training of ranchers, the program has enabled the training of more than 80 inseminators in the Cibao region alone, who can carry out this biotechnology both at detected heat and by modifying the estrous cycle to synchronize ovulation and inseminate at a fixed time.
“We have followed up with the trained producers until we are sure that they are developing the insemination process well,” explains Medrano about the project.
He indicates that this year they intend to continue training the producers until they achieve that in all the associations the ranchers can develop the insemination programs. That is, that the producers themselves have the capacity to carry them out.
For this, he points out, they are being trained and are being provided with the equipment, semen and hormones for synchronization and later insemination.
“This program aims to follow up with reproductive checkups to see its effectiveness,” he says.
Point out that Digega, Promegan, Megaleche, Conaleche and also Gana Clima has contributed with the donation of several cryogenic tanks to preserve the semen, which is included.
