The Ebini Livestock Station is situated in the intermediate savannahs of Guyana along the Berbice River, serving as the country's primary research center for the livestock industry. Established in 1941, the station was set up to investigate the suitability of savannah soils for large-scale cattle and sheep ranching. Ebini plays a central role in the breeding and improvement of cattle breeds such as Brahman and their crosses with local stock to develop animals resistant to local diseases and the tropical climate. The site encompasses thousands of acres of pastureland where research on grasses, forage crops, and grazing management is conducted. The station also serves as a training ground for livestock farmers and provides high-quality breeding stock to farmers across the country. Through the work at Ebini, Guyana has been able to diversify its meat production and increase productivity in regions traditionally considered less fertile. Today, Ebini remains a cornerstone of the national strategy for meat self-sufficiency.
