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 />
