As a Ugandan paravet this is a great video to show the world how great indigenous farming is in great West African. its good to embrace improved breeds but not forgetting our roots
I watch this with lots of emotions. I grew up in this and has lots of memories. Tough life but simple. What I miss the most is being surrounded by nature. My family once broke the the record in our town of having the biggest bull cow. Still remember the day it was cornered after several failed attempts and sold to cow traders for meat. Missed that cow for weeks. It's sad to see such a simple and self sustaining way of life disappear.
There are many breeds of cattle in Africa. They develop according to their region. The Ndama breeds of the Sene - Gambia region are small because their habitat is in or close to the forest region where smaller animals thrive better. The tse-tse fly region is perhaps not so conducive to cattle rearing as many breeds are not resistant to the tse-tse fly. The Ndama breed looks quite different to the breed of cattle in nearby Nigeria. I am wondering if cross breading with other indigenous African breeds might create more disease resistant cattle as opposed to cattle brought from different continents. The Ndama breed actually look quite strong and healthy, though small, perhaps the increasing of their populations is what is needed rather than the focus on how much milk or meat each individual cow produces!
The milk given by the indigenous cows of guinea is sweeter than the milk of those breed crossed cows or the ones of the Sahel. So it’s better to keep our cows like they are. And the cows coming from abroad cannot live in our climate.
@@KillaTrains planting ground cover helps keep water in the soil. The U.S. had issues with it in the 1930's, where over-farmed land became incredibly dry. The dirt then started blowing across the entire country. It was called the "Dust Bowl", google it for more info.
Try indian cattle breeds ( Red Sindhi, Kankrej, Gir, and Tharparkar, Sahiwal ) those breeds of cows give enough MILK and MEAT. why you try this, those breeds are very GOOD HEAT and DISEASE RESISTANCE if you think it is more expensive then import the deep-frozen semen and try the insemination of those breeds to your native cows

Idonigbo Obu the boran; sahiwal and ankole breed are also indigenous sufficient producing animals for both meat and milk
bravo aux africains , une algérienne !!!!!

Also plant tall and thick grasses everywhere. This reduces erosion and helps water conditions.
Where will the rain or irrigation system will come from?

Traduzam em português o documentário é muito importante
Cross breeding is the key. These native breeds simply don't produce enough
I dont think there is need for cross breeding..because it alters the quality of the milk from A2 to A1
Good
Please do not bother Esther , get your self what you you like?
But remember 7 year on ...7 year not. Keep for the future.

Cross breeding is definitely the key.
