TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) — Iran’s Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research has finalized a $500,000 deal with a Russian firm to sell heavy livestock embryo production technology, the Avicenna Research Institute announced, ANA reported.
Institute official Mohammad Mehdi Naderi said Indonesia has also shown interest in purchasing the technology. Iran has separately signed a contract to export 3,000 livestock embryos to Uganda this year.
Naderi said Iran’s breeding research now includes buffalo and camels, such as the Sindhi camel, which produces twice as much milk and matures faster.
Meanwhile, a local firm developing livestock genetics and manure processing has established pure genetic nuclei of Roman (INRA401) and Blanche Massif Central sheep breeds to boost red meat and dairy production.
Managing director Ayyoub Laki said the company produces 15,000 tons of milk and 1,500 calves annually and plays a major role in improving Iran’s food security.
