This achievement highlights the Directorate’s ongoing initiatives to preserve and promote Omani sheep breeds, a vital aspect of the nation’s heritage and agricultural economy.
As part of its broader mission, the Directorate continues to implement vaccination and treatment programmes aimed at maintaining the health and purity of local breeds.
These efforts provide essential veterinary support to livestock breeders, ensuring sustainable production and strengthening Oman’s food security.
Beyond government-led initiatives, the Directorate actively engages and supports local farmers, encouraging investment in livestock farming.
