Kampong Chhnang: Dr. Kao Thach, the Royal Government Delegate in Charge of the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB) and President of the Techo Farmers Network Association, encouraged farmers in Rolai Bay district, Kampong Chhnang province to consider raising livestock in a new context, especially changing from traditional cattle raising to commercial farming, along with modern technology and marketing, which will increase income.
Dr. Kao Thach’s encouragement was given on the occasion of a meeting and greetings with farmers in Rolai Bayer District, Kampong Chhnang Province on the afternoon of July 22, 2026, attended by Mr. Siv Run, Chairman of the Provincial Council, Mr. Pich Keo Mony, Deputy Governor of Kampong Chhnang Province, high-ranking representatives, Mr. Sun Sovannarith, Governor of Kampong Chhnang Provincial Government, Mr. Seng Vichet, Governor of Rolai Bayer District, leaders, officials from the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, local authorities, and a total of more than 600 farmers.
Dr. Kao Thach told farmers about important tips that cattle breeding has now reached a stage where modern technology, especially artificial breeding, can help farmers obtain purebred cows with good quality, increase the fertility rate, and reduce costs compared to traditional breeding.
Dr. Dang said that nowadays, raising cows has to turn to modern technology. Artificial insemination can help get good breeds, cost less, and there is no need to transport cows to bulls like before. This means that they can take the sperm of a single bull and inject it into the cow’s mare to produce offspring.
In addition, Dr. It was recalled that raising calves for sale is a potential business for farmers. Therefore, if the correct techniques are followed, calves can be sold after about 6 months at a price of between 4 and 6 million riels per head. In particular, female calves have a high market value because they can be used to reproduce and increase income continuously.
In addition, Dr. Dang also encouraged farmers to continue learning new techniques through experts, social media, YouTube, and reliable information sources to develop cattle farming into an efficient and competitive business. In particular, it is necessary to know the cost of production per cow so that they can know the profit or loss before deciding to sell it to the market.
