News & UpdatesUrgent: Nigerian Dwarf Breeders, CNGF is looking for tag trial participants!The Canadian National Goat Federation (CNGF) is currently conducting tag indicator trials and is looking for Nigerian Dwarf herds across Canada that are willing to participate.
INTERESTED PRODUCERS ARE ASKED TO ENROLL BY SEPTEMBER 14, 2026. With the proposed traceability regulations expected to come into effect in the future, CNGF is trialling different identification indicators in goat herds across the country. As many producers are aware, the options for approved identification indicators are currently limited, particularly for miniature breeds. To ensure that the Nigerian Dwarf breed is represented and that the needs of miniature-breed producers are considered, CNGF needs your help in trialling these potential new indicators. The trial is expected to take place over a six-month period, and CNGF is asking participating herds to have a minimum of 5–10 goats available for the trial. If you raise Nigerian Dwarf goats and are willing to participate, your involvement would help CNGF gather valuable information and ensure that future traceability requirements are practical and inclusive for miniature-breed producers. INTERESTED PRODUCERS ARE ASKED TO CONTACT CNGF DIRECTLY: Cecelia Green (CNGF Executive Director) 519-498-1376, [email protected] |
