He noted that the farm currently serves the community through the clean, healthy product and students studying the benefits of this product.
His Highness the President of Dhaid University discussed the bird farm project, which was previously called the poultry farm, citing the Almighty’s saying: “And the meat of fowl of whatever they desire.” He attributed the project’s name to “Fly Birds” because its meat will be red like birds and not white like poultry.
His Highness noted that these birds are distinguished by the fact that they will be raised in open fields and fed on food free of chemicals, and will receive old natural medical medicines that boost their immunity, and these natural materials will be reflected in the food cooked at home, stressing that this project supports study at the university and maintains the health of community members.
His Highness spoke about the goat development project in the central region after the interventions that were made on this category, explaining that the research team for this project selected pure goats that had not been changed, and they were inseminated with selected pure breeds, pointing out that there are many insemination experiments around the world and some of them faced many challenges that failed this insemination, but Sharjah succeeded in insemination from the first time, thanks to God and His guidance.
His Highness revealed that the Cypriot male, whose original home is Syria, was used in the insemination process, and that it will produce abundant milk, while the “flea” type, which is native to South Africa, was inseminated to produce meat.
His Highness the President of Al Dhaid University spoke about the pastures in the emirate, which aim to preserve these pure breeds. He also touched on the vegetable project, which improves the level of food for people, and discussed the initiative to distribute wheat grains to 800 wheat farmers in the country, calling on everyone to fear God Almighty in life, family, country and generations, citing His Highness the Holy Verse: “And whoever fears God – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect.”
His Highness expressed his great happiness with these achievements and the presence of students at the University of Dhaid who are working hard and diligently to serve food security projects, and will manage them in the future after receiving sufficient study. In turn, they will contribute to preserving the health of society and fulfilling the trust that everyone bears.
