Overview
For the first time in nearly half a century, Nigeria has officially registered and released eight new pasture crop varieties.
This development was confirmed at a three-day deliberation hosted at the National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (NACGRAB) in Ibadan.
This breakthrough comes 48 years after the last formal release of pasture types by a Nigerian government agency. The approval resulted from collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development and the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI).
It was announced jointly by the Ministry and the National Committee on Naming, Registration and Release of Crop Varieties, Livestock Breeds and Fisheries.
