Livetra Africa Limited is a Tanzanian livestock and agribusiness company headquartered in Arusha. We exist to make productive farming possible for every livestock keeper in the country, from a family with three dairy cows to a commercial ranch or poultry unit.
We bring proven cattle and poultry genetics, artificial insemination, quality animal feeds, veterinary care, farm inputs and agricultural machinery to farmers through a distributor network that covers seven regions. Our genetics are delivered through URUS and GENEX. Gir and Girolando sires are our core offer, bred for milk in hot climates, alongside Holstein, Jersey and beef breeds, so a farmer in Njombe or Tanga can breed from the same sires used on leading farms worldwide.
One partner for the whole farm, from the first straw of semen to the last bag of feed.
01
Proven genetics, delivered locally
Through URUS and GENEX we give Tanzanian farmers access to world-class dairy and beef sires, with artificial insemination and breeding programmes to match the genetics to your herd and your goals.
02
Everything a productive herd needs
Better genetics only pay off with the right nutrition and health care. We supply feeds and supplements, run veterinary clinics, laboratory and mobile services, and stock the farm inputs and machinery that keep the farm running.
03
Close to the farm
Seven regional distributors cover the Southern Highlands, Dar es Salaam, the Lake Zone, Tanga, Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Njombe, so advice, products and service reach you where you farm.
04
Knowledge that stays on the farm
We train farmers, farm staff and inseminators in livestock management, animal health and agribusiness, and we offer consultancy for farms, cooperatives and investors who want to grow.

A farm is a system. We start by understanding yours, then build a plan that fits your animals, your land and your budget, and we stay involved after delivery.

Assess
A distributor or technician visits the farm, looks at the herd, feeding, housing and records, and listens to what you want to achieve.

Plan
Together we choose the sires, the breeding programme, the feeding plan and the health schedule that fit your goals.

Supply
Genetics, feeds, veterinary products, inputs and machinery are delivered through your regional distributor.
