CTLGH

Livestock plays a significant role in Agriculture in most LMICs and tropical regions. They, in no small way, contribute to human nutrition, food security, sustainable livelihoods and environmental health. Through our work at CTLGH, we endeavour to develop genetic solutions, tools and technologies that contribute to better production, better nutrition, better environment and a better life. Let's work together to transform the agrifood systems. #4betters

It was a pleasure to host, Pamela Ruegg from Michigan State University at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). Whilst we got to introduce Pam to small holder dairy farming in Kenya, she shared her extensive knowledge of mastitis.
