Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: To help the Government of Tunisia increase that country's meat production, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in mid-1971 funded two U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) technicians for work on an Accelerated Livestock Production Project. To further aid in the livestock improvement effort, USAID and the USDA specialists requested a livestock consultant for 3 months beginning November 1, 1972. The specific objectives for his assignment were: 1. To give guidance in improving and expanding the existing artificial breeding program in cattle. 2. To help establish standards and guidelines for good animal husbandry practices, including feeding, breeding, production, marketing, and disease control. 3. To help organize and plan a national health plan for controlling livestock diseases in the herds and flocks of Tunisia. 4. To help the Tunisian operations management system make more efficient use of veterinarians.
