Background Information
FAO is working with the Institute to establish a southern African network of research institutes to increase the indigenous breeds of livestock. The center is breeding the cattle to restock Mozambique. - - General: General. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is giving technical assistance to the following three institutes that are part of the South African Agricultural Research Council (ARC):
The ARC-Animal Nutrition and Animal Products Institute (ACR-ANPI) is responsible for research, development and technology transfer in the field of animal feed, food and products. It aims to establish the optimum utilization of feed resources in divergent production systems, irrespective of size, to produce animal products of required quantity and quality in an environmentally friendly, affordable and sustainable manner.
The ARC-Animal Improvement Institute (ARC-AII) is trying to improve through scientific research, evaluation, development and technology transfer, the biological and economic efficiency of animals, thereby enhancing the quality of life of people.
The ARC-Plant Protection Research Institute (ARC-PPRI) aims to promote ecologically sound management strategies for pests and plant diseases and to catalogue alien plants and promote the utilization of advantageous organisms to strengthen agricultural production. Natural resources are thus preserved and crop losses caused by insects and plant diseases are alleviated or prevented.
