The Investment Projects in Animal Resources and Fisheries










Investment in Animal Resources
Introduction:
The estimation of animal resources in Sudan is approximately 140.9 million heads, according to 2009 estimates, and 42 million heads of poultry. The water bodies of rivers and the sea accommodate 110 tons of fish. Besides, there is appreciable number of wild animals and reptiles.
The above mentioned resources contribute to the food security through ensuring red meat sufficiency, milk , poultry products and appreciable surplus of livestock for exportation. Moreover, the revenues of animal exports for 2009 reached 264 million US$.
The animal resources contribute with more than the fifth to Gross Domestic Product GDP , beside providing wastes for leather and skin industry, concentrates and manure.
Equally important, the animal resources contribute to agricultural operations, transport, draught, portage, enrichment of parks, entertainment, tourism and the socio-religious aspects.
It is an income source for 40% of the Sudanese population and it is an attractive resources for investment, beside it`s economic and strategic reservoir for Sudan.
Investment in Animal Resources:
Investment is one of the main factors that assist promotion of economy and it is the driving power for its close connection with capital creation and can enable the national economy to progress and raise production.
In a view of Sudan vast fertile land suitable for cultivation, with provision of national pastures, variable climates, animals and available fisheries and water resources, investment has the most appropriate climate to thrive in animal resources that has less productive inputs in comparison with its counterparts of other sectors.
The availability of natural resources in Sudan and large diseases free zone, beside global scarcity of food and its high prices, all that has drawn attention from the neighbouring countries to the country.
Also, the announcement of Sudan as the prospective global food basket in 1974, in addition to the country freedom from epizootics such as Bovine Spongi-form Encephalopathy BSE, Rift Valley Fever and Avian Influenza has drawn attention to invest in Sudan, especially from neighbouring Arab countries, in many fields of agriculture and animal resources sectors. This will make the efforts and expertise consolidation necessary, with coordination between the different sectors to integrate expertise and exploit the available potentialities for proper use of the country gifted resources, so as to bring benefits to Sudan, neighbouring Arab, African and world countries. Therefore, Sudan can occupy its pioneering position among the advanced countries.

Upgrading of Livestock Breeds and the Maintenance of Genetic Components Project
Introduction:
Sudan owns big animal resources but they face productivity problems, especially in dairy production part. A lot of efforts were exerted to upgrade breeds through selection and hybridization. So, state centers were established to upgrade the local breeds. Also, a number of international cattle and goats breeds were brought for the same purpose.
Artificial Insemination was introduced in Sudan in the National Center for Artificial Insemination in 1976. The so-called technique realized appreciable results in terms of raising productivity and nomads settlement in Khartoum state.
The financial support directed to the center stopped then reduction in productivity was experienced. Therefore, rehabilitation of the national state centers is the need.
On the other hand, upgrading of local breeds and their genetic components maintenance has become a national demand to follow the international trend towards maintenance of the genetic component for the local breeds. So, the follow up of the productive animals will be as follows:
