Representative (CR) of International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Dr. Tunde
Adegoke has said that the scarcity of livestock feeds can be traced to the non
availability of accurate data for animals and livestock in the country.
ILRI CR
pointed that the availability of accurate numbers of animals and birds in
existence would be very effective to determine the quantity of feeds to be
provided for the entire country saying lack of data are responsible for feeds
shortfall.
He also
identified poor regulatory system to the sub standard feeds being made available for feeds consumption in
the country, adding that data provision would assist to know the numbers of
animals that are slaughtered per day, the numbers that entered into a state,
feeds resources at each location, available of natural grass and crops residue.
Adegoke added
there would be the feed availability long as there is data to show areas of
need and excess stock pointing that the bane of the feeds sub sector in Nigeria
was lack of ingredients in quality supplies at a reasonable price.
