Optimize livestock production and productivity through animal breeding
The National Animal Genetic Resources Centre and Databank (NAGRC & DB), was established by an Act of Parliament, the Animal Breeding Act, 2001. It is a body corporate mandated to take a leading role in establishing a comprehensive National Animal Breeding Programme in Uganda.
NAGRC was established to cater for conservation of the indigenous breeds that are adapted to the local environment at the same time address the need for higher yielding breeds with market driven goals. It is for these reasons that the breeding role like other vital roles which include among others disease control and regulatory roles cannot be left entirely to the private sector.
