Tanzania: US cattle and genetics for dairy development and beef improvement in Tanzania
Tanzania is investing in dairy development and beef improvement, and buyers there look to the USA for productive dairy cattle, beef cattle and genetics. TXLG supplies Holstein heifers, pregnant Holsteins, Jersey and crossbred dairy cattle, beef breeds such as Angus and Brahman, plus bovine semen and embryos, prepared to the import protocol agreed with Tanzania's Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries.
