Milk Replaces Research Center (MRRC) was a project   sponsored by scientific research academy and technology in 1980 and developed to its current situation as a center in 1982.

It is located in faculty of agriculture, Ain Shams University in Shoubra Elkhyma district in Egypt. The center is aiming to:

1-Rationalize national reserves from the available male buffalo calves to save more than 125 thousands tons from red meat.

2-Save liquid feeds for suckling ruminants to participate in preventing slaughtering of these animals in young ages.

3- Use milk replaces for new born ruminants and that will lead to an increase in natural milk quantity per capita for about 50 : 70 kg annually as a result of saving half million ton of natural milk annually.

4-Produce and develop the milk replaces and untraditional healthy and economically feeds for ruminants.

5-Provide facilities to carry out scientific and applicable researches which aim to save the most possible quantities of animal proteins for human consumption.

6-Organize technical training programs.

7-Support the scientific and researchable linkages among relevant institutes and participate in related symposiums, seminars and alike in Egypt and abroad.

8-Set up (establish, participate, manage) productive activities for others.

ACHIEVEMENTS

1-PRODUCTIVE AND MARKETING SERVICES:

-QUANTITIES OF MILK, RED MEAT, FATTENED ANIMALS AND MANURE HAVE BEEN SEELED TO PUPLICS.

2-EXTENSION ROLE

-FOR THE PUPILS IN THE SURROUNDED SCHOOLS

-FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS IN ANIMAL PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT IN THE FACULTY

-FOR POST GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE DEPARTMENT

-FOR ANIMAL HOLDERS IN THE SURROUNDED AREAS

-THROUGH THE SEMINARS AND SYMPOSIUMS ATTENDED BY MRRC EXPERTS.

3-TRAINING PROGRAMS ORGANIZATION

-MANY PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED FOR MEDIUM AND LARGE SCALE ANIMAL HOLDERS AND TEACHERS AND ADVISORS IN AGRICULTURAL TEACHING SECTOR, PRE-UNIVERISITY TUITION STAGE IN MANY TECHNICAL SUBJECTS SUCH AS:

*FATTENING CALVES

* FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY CATTLE

*RATION FORMULATION FOR RUMINANTS.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF FEEDSTUFFS*

*CHEMISTRY OF ANIMAL NUTRITION.

4-APPLICABLE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:

*MORE THAN 50 PH. AND 85 M.SC. DISSERTATIONS

WERE EXECUTED SUCCESSFULLY.

*NUMEROUS NUMBERS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ARTICLES WERE PUBLISHED IN THE SPECIALIZED AND WORLD-WIDE SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS

*ALL SCIENTIFIC FACILITIES WERE PROVIDED FROM THE MRRC TO THE RESEARCHERS (ANIMALS, TOOLS, EQUIPMENTS, CHEMICALS AND ALIKE) AS A PARTICIPATION FROM THE CENTER IN THE SCIENTIFIC EFFORTS.

*THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS FROM THESE RESEARCHES ARE

1-FORMULATING 32 BLENDS FROM MILK REPLACES SUITABLE FOR APPLICATION.

2-DURING BETTELLO PROJECT (1983-1986) THE CENTER COVERED THE NATIONAL NEEDS FROM MILK REPLACES UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE.

3-PARTICIPATING IN LAYING DOWN NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR BUFFALOES, PARTICULARLY CALVES AND HEIFERS RAISED ON MILK REPLACES.

4-INCREASE THE FEED EFFICIENCY AND GROWTH RATE FOR FATTENED ANIMALS BY SOME ADDITIVES SO THAT THEY REACH THE MARKETING WEIGHT EARLY AND ECONOMICALLY.

5-INCREASE THE FEED EFFICIENCY FO RBUFFALO HEIFERS AND MALES TO REACH THEIT SEXUAL MATURITY IN EARLIER AGES WHICH SAVE TIME AND MONEY.

6-USE THE AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES AND THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL BY PRODUCTS IN RATIONS OF RUMINANTS SAFELY AND ECONOMICALLY.CONSEQUENTLY THAT HELPED TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT FROM POLLUTION HAZARDS.

7-INCREASE THE PRODUCTION OF MILK AND ITS CONTENT FROM CASEIN WHICH HELPED IN OBTAINING MORE QUANTITY FROM THE RESULTANT CHEESE.

5-AGREEMENTS AND PROTOCOLS

MRRC HOLD THE FOLLOWING PROTOCOOLS WITH SOME RELEVANT CENTERS AND FARMS
