BARBADOS RUMINANTS FARM SERVICES INC

BRFS and Barbados Rabbits and Ruminants Management Services INC. are Non-Profit entities. The core function is to bridge the gap between livestock research and the farming community. At the Graeme Hall facility training session are conducted in conjunction with the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment and other stakeholders. The main focus is low cost solutions to the rising cost of animal nutrition. Crop residue, with nutritional value is converted to inputs for animal feed rations. Training is also available
in rabbit and sheep rearing. The newest venture is the conversion of fish waste into silage that can be used both as a fertilizer and ingredient in animal feed. BRFS also is a partner in an initiative called ART ON THE FARM where crop residue is used for art and craft, namely papermaking.
