Strengthening small ruminant production in St. Kitts and Nevis

The Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, recently hosted a training workshop aimed at improving production systems and farm management among small ruminant stakeholders across the Federation.

Participants explored the three major production systems — intensive, semi-intensive, and extensive — while gaining practical knowledge in record-keeping, nutrition, disease control, and systemic livestock management to improve efficiency, sustainability, and profitability.

CARDI representatives also conducted field visits to farms throughout the Federation, reinforcing the Institute’s ongoing commitment to advancing the livestock sector in St. Kitts and Nevis.
