The Ugandan Delegation

It is indeed with no doubt that our popularity has gone far way beyond our borders.

Our activities in the Indigenous Chicken Improvement Program has seen visitors coming from far and wide with the sole intention of wanting to learn more about the activities carried out and how these activities can be brought close to their reach, within their vicinities;

with the most recent visitors coming all the way from our good neighbouring country Uganda;

which included a good number of their members of parliament, scientists, breeders, geneticists lecturers and farmers.

The most interesting feature that fascinated the delegation was artificial insemination in chickens.

The artificial insemination conducted at the research unit is the first ever in the wider African fraternity with Ethiopia being the only exception.

This is a clear indication of the achievements that InCIP has achieved within a very short span of its existence.

It will be imperative to say that the program has indeed gained momentum.

We still have much more to give and the public should be expecting much more from us.

Technologies will be disseminated to farmers within our reach, as we look forward to expand our linkages with farmers and institutions from other parts of our country as well as those in other African countries.
