Dairy Nutritionist and Hoof Trimming Expert Opportunities in Sri Lanka

John R. Vreyens John R. Vreyens
 

International Executive Service Corps (IESC) is looking for two specialists for a USDA-funded Market-Oriented Dairy project that strengthens the nascent dairy industry in Sri Lanka by training farmers on dairy farming best practices, developing input suppliers, and facilitating investment in the dairy sector.

IESC is looking for a dairy expert in hoof trimming and dairy farm management to provide technical assistance and training to a large dairy farm in Sri Lanka.  IESC is also looking for an expert in dairy cow nutrition and specifically in the formulation of commercial feed.  These positions are unpaid but airfare, all travel expenses, and lodging will be provided by IESC. The experts will also receive a daily per diem that will more than cover meals during their stay in Sri Lanka.  Travel to Sri Lanka will only happen once the pandemic has died down and international travel restrictions have been lifted. A realistic timeline for travel to Sri Lanka is mid-2021.

Complete Scopes of Work are attached.

If interested, contact Claire Dewey, IESC Program Associate, at 202-589-2614 or cdewey@iesc.org.
