Future Activities

1- Continuation of applied research leading to the increase and enhancement of meat and milk production of Egyptian buffalo. 2- Production of new genotypes emerging from crossing endogenous cattle with the exotic breeds to produce highly productive strains adapted to Egyptian conditions. 3- Focusing on genetic engineering as a rapid tool for genetic improvement. 4- Holding the genetically superior animals for creating an Egyptian gene bank. 5- Improving the performance of local sheep and conserving the local Zaraibi goats as an excellent Egyptian strain, and improving goat’s productivity in rangelands and newly reclaimed areas. 6- Continuing the poultry genetic improvement plan to produce chicken strains to be used to create a gene bank for the production of commercial hybrids for egg and meat production. 7- Continuing the embryo transfer program in buffalo, cows and sheep. 8- Continuing the running activities of in-vitro fertilization in farm animals. 9- APRI is planning to prepare facilities for DNA finger-printing for livestock and poultry.
