The government of Honduras does not have disaster relief protocol, and poverty and poor urban planning have left the country in complete disrepair. There was not funding or rehabilitation of housing, agriculture, or production systems. In the production sector, this brought serious consequences. Many producers could not afford to spend money to recoup their animals. Currently the government of Honduras, along with supporting international governments and organizations, are attempting the rehabilitation of the country.
Veterinarians play a significant role in the reconstruction process.
Producers are searching for current technology, medicine, pasture, and ways in which to improve their production systems. Some popular examples include artificial insemination, breeding programs, estrous synchronization, embryonic transfers, and reproductive endocrinology. Veterinarians may provide education and services to assist with such programs. Producers also lost fencing, pasture, installations, and stables. Installations such as dairy barrels, refrigeration systems, water supplies, water and feed troughs, and corrals were damaged or destroyed.
