RSG’s Doug Edge Travels to Nigeria with USLGE to Explore Small Ruminant Genetic Development Opportunities

RSG’s Doug Edge recently joined representatives from the U.S. Livestock Genetics Export, Inc. (USLGE) on a trade and development mission to Nigeria, focused on expanding small ruminant genetic opportunities.

The visit included meetings with government officials, universities, and producer groups to assess the potential for introducing improved sheep and goat genetics to enhance productivity, feed efficiency, and meat quality. The team also explored collaborative programs that could connect U.S. breeders and companies with Nigerian producers through training, technical exchange, and future export partnerships.

“This was an important first step toward identifying how the U.S. can help strengthen small ruminant production in West Africa,” said Edge. “There’s tremendous opportunity to improve food security and livelihoods through better genetics and management practices.”

RSG looks forward to continuing its collaboration with USLGE and local partners to support sustainable growth of the small ruminant industry across the region.
