Livestock Summit: Governor Adeleke Mulls Localisation of Livestock Innovations
Governor Ademola Adeleke has expressed readiness of the state government to localise modern livestock innovations with a view to develop Osun dairy and livestock sub-sectors.
Speaking after a visit to a large dairy farm in Northern France and attending the world largest livestock summit in Clermont Ferrand along French partners, Governor Adeleke described advancement in livestock sectors as breathtaking, noting particularly the application of high tech and AI in the farm process.
Accompanied by the Commissioner for Agriculture, Hon Tola Faseru and other top policy advisers, the Governor who watched the farm tech application processes said it was noteworthy how the robot was used to milk the cows as well as the integration of dairy production into the livestock farming.
Aside from examining the special breed of cows on the farm and several thousands of hectares of land devoted to mechanized farming, the Governor also witnessed the special education imparted on the cows, leading to cow-machine rapport in the dairy production process.
At the summit in Clermont Ferrand, the Governor met several farm tech companies alongside several livestock specialized farms which expressed readiness to support Osun state in the development of her livestock sector.
“We are in a hurry to transform Osun state and that is why you see me doing a governance marathon. We will leverage the new livestock agenda of the Federal Government in our drive to adopt new innovations in our subnational efforts”, the Governor posited.
Governor Adeleke was accompanied on the trip by two Special Advisers including the Special Adviser on SDGs, Hon Bamkole Omishore.
