“Ensuring sustainable production and implementation of good cattle breeding practices in farms in Romania, the Republic of Moldova and the border region of Ukraine.”
LAUNCH OF A TRANSBOUNDARING PROJECT
ENSURING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOD CATTLE BREEDING PRACTICES IN FARMS IN ROMANIA, THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA AND THE BORDER REGION OF UKRAINE
ACT 2/1/32; MIS ETC CODE 1549
This project is funded by the EUROPEAN UNION.
Joint governing body: Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration
Main goal: improving economic performance in transboundary areas through coordination and long-term modernization of the agricultural sector.
Specific objectives :

- Conducting joint transboundary studies related to the keeping and breeding of cattle in the three partner countries;
- Development and joint implementation of software – tools for milk and meat production control;
- Construction of 2 pilot farms for quantitative and qualitative assessments in Romania and the Republic of Moldova;
- Conducting a training / information / dissemination campaign for stakeholders in all regions.

Tangible impact
The establishment of networks centres related with livestock products monitoring both quantitative and qualitative in three partner-countries and software development to quantify the milk and beef qualities to be used in all three regions;
To assist project participants in accessing convenient and modern means of controlling and improving livestock products for extensive training researches.
To increase the level of knowledge related to modern technologies in livestock and processing through trainings, seminars, study visits, good management practices, portal;
To create the best practices model for farmers through farms to be built in Yasy and Chisinau. They serve as research bases to improve livestock production and provide input to ACS in Odessa, focused on food processing.
EXPECTED BENEFITS:
1) improvement of transboundary infrastructure concerning zootechnics
3) monitoring centers for quantitative and qualitative control of livestock products, 2 farms in Yasy and Chisinau);
2) increasing the quality and safety of livestock products for consumers;
3) supporting the development of scientific and technological capabilities of researches related with sustainable livestock products production;
4) raising awareness of sustainable livestock products production for all stakeholders and establishing a mutual base for cooperation (data exchange, training, value creation, technology transfer from academic to productive sphere.
DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS:
The multiplier effect of the action is proportional to the number of participants.
Its components are:
-software created in the project, free access within the portal
-three centers for assessing the quality of milk and beef
-other materials created within the project:
* user software instructions
* handbook on modern good practice
* materials on implementation and advertising.
– press conferences organized in three regions, at the beginning and at the end of the project.
-press-release that gives the latest news concerning project’s implementation.
The project can be adopted by other similar institutions and can be extended to other areas of research in agro- and zootechnical fields.
