The ongoing exhibition strives to democratize cutting-edge technology, making it accessible to all. However, we must also address resource management challenges. While the livestock sector has made remarkable strides, there’s room for improvement. Collective efforts are essential to ensure sufficient energy and protein for development. Our strategy should encompass bottom-up projects, demand-driven initiatives, regional development, value-added products, and market enhancements. Let’s engage in public forums, seminars, and symposia, and integrate these innovations into our daily practices across offices, institutions, and educational settings.
