This was carried out in cooperation with the Regional Centre for Food and Feed, and the Animal Production Research Institute. In addition, 40 technical approvals were issued to establish new livestock and poultry projects in line with preventive distancing and biosecurity requirements in desert hinterland areas. This is a preparatory step towards issuing operating licences for feed production that meets standard specifications and achieves the highest performance rates for poultry, livestock and fish across various governorates. He said approvals were also granted for the export of fish feed, feed additives and poultry products, as well as frozen poultry—quail, duck, pigeon and turkey—to a number of Arab and foreign countries.
