Uganda: US cattle and genetics for dairy growth and crossbreeding programs in Uganda
Uganda is investing in dairy growth and crossbreeding programs, 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 Uganda's Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. With mild equatorial highlands, we help match genetics and management to local conditions.
