“The funds will be fully invested in support of infrastructure expansion at the National Sheep and Goat Breeding Center at Central Farm. The old conveyor belt system, which is used to remove waste from under the raised-floor barn, will be renovated and modernized. A backup well will be drilled with an irrigation pumping system to ensure a consistent water supply during the dry season as well as upgraded standardized goat compartments for the new barn that is presently under construction. All of these components will ensure better management and robust development of the recently imported goats.”
