Arunachal: JMM Farmers’ Federation Hosts Mithun Awareness Workshop in Siang District
Mithun Conservation Gets Boost with Training, Fencing Support in Arunachal’s Mori Village.
MORI ( SIANG district ) – The Jomlo Mongku Mithun Farmers’ Federation (JMMFF) organized a day-long awareness workshop on semi-intensive Mithun farming practices on Sunday in collaboration with the ICAR-National Research Centre on Mithun (NRCM), Medziphema, Nagaland.
The technical support team from ICAR NRCM shared vital knowledge with local Mithun farmers, focusing on key aspects of livestock care such as deworming, vaccination, and the use of mineral mixtures. Farmers were encouraged to adopt semi-intensive methods for improved Mithun management, sustainability, and productivity.
As part of practical support, the Federation extended help through the provision of barbed wire and materials for night shelters, aiding in the establishment of Mithun conservation units in remote areas.
