Shea et al.<br />

As a result of losses due to conflict and tsunami, Aceh is suffering<br />

from a severe shortage of livestock, and has the highest meat prices<br />

in Indonesia. In order to address the shortage of livestock and the<br />

high price for meat, ETESP has been funding activities aimed at<br />

laying the foundation for livestock development in Aceh. This includes:<br />

1. Rebuilding of Provincial Livestock Laboratory (complete with<br />

PCA Laboratory)<br />

2. Rebuilding of Provincial Quarantine Office and Laboratory<br />

3. Building of Quarantine Station for Imported Livestock<br />

4. Rehabilitation of Animal Husbandry Training College in Saree<br />

5. Development of Community Livestock Breeding Centers in<br />

Aceh Besar – two for cattle and one for goats<br />

6. Building of Integrated Animal Health Centers and Artificial<br />

Insemination Posts in 11 tsunami-affected districts.<br />

7. New Abattoir for City of Banda Aceh.<br />

With these new facilities, Aceh can import quality breeding stock and<br />

use these to increased the quality and quantity of livestock through<br />

community breeding facilities. Integrated Animal Health and Artificial<br />

Insemination Center will help ensure the health of livestock, and<br />

continue the breeding program through artificial insemination. In<br />

addition, a new generation of livestock extension workers is being<br />

trained at the rehabilitate Animal Husbandry Training College in<br />

Saree.<br />

Manure generated from livestock is an important part of the integrated<br />

system for sustainable agriculture being promoted for improved soil<br />

management and sustainable production in Aceh.<br />
