Giving breeding calves to poor Dan Lai households in Con Cuong
(Baonghean.vn) - On July 30, the Con Cuong District Rural Development Board coordinated with assigned units to help poor Dan Lai households and Mon Son commune to organize the handover of 36 Sind crossbred calves to 12 poor households of the Dan Lai ethnic group resettled in Tan Son and Cua Rao villages, Mon Son commune.
The total cost of more than 579 million VND to buy breeding calves for households was taken from the budget for building a model of raising crossbred Sind heifers and planting elephant grass in 2019 in Con Cuong district. Accordingly, each household received 2 crossbred heifers, worth over 10 million VND; in addition, each household received 1 heifer.

To ensure the calves are healthy and grow quickly, before handing over the calves, the Mountainous Rural Development Board coordinated with the District Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Department to provide training on elephant grass planting and disease prevention for the households receiving the calves this time.
Supporting crossbred heifers for Dan Lai households aims to gradually eliminate hunger and reduce poverty in Mon Son in general and the Dan Lai ethnic group in particular; contributing to promoting new rural construction in the border commune of Con Cuong district./.
