Three members of the Sukarelawan Kesehatan Hewan (Sukakeswan) fostered by Agincourt Resources, namely Eka, Sugiman, and Supriono, have attended a technical guidance session on artificial insemination at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Center, West Java. The intensive training, which took place from July 23 to August 12, 2024, aimed to improve the genetic quality of livestock through the optimal use of superior male seeds and preventing the spread of disease. In addition to learning artificial insemination techniques, participants were also equipped with knowledge of good livestock management, including the selection of the right feed.
Agincourt Resources Senior Supervisor of Agriculture Development, Minhajul Abidin, revealed that this program is part of the company’s commitment to empowering the community, especially farmers and breeders. “With the knowledge gained, we hope that the participants can become agents of change in their regions and contribute to increasing livestock productivity,” he said.

One of the participants, Sugiman, felt very helped by following this program. “I gained new knowledge about artificial insemination techniques and livestock management. In addition, I also had the opportunity to exchange information with participants from various regions. I am very grateful to Agincourt Resources for providing this opportunity,” he said.
With this technical guidance program, it is expected that the genetic quality of livestock in the participants’ home regions can increase significantly. This will not only have a positive impact on increasing livestock production but also on the welfare of farmers and the community as a whole.
