Participating in the project, each household receives a breeding cow of the Zebu breed, aged 12 - 18 months, weighing 200 - 220 kg or more, fully vaccinated. Before receiving the breeding cow, households are instructed by the specialist staff of the breeding unit on breeding techniques, how to build barns, and how to treat some common diseases.

The total cost of the project is nearly 1 billion VND. Of which, more than 565 million VND is supported by the "National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021 - 2025 period" to buy breeding animals, the rest is contributed by participating households with barns, food and care.
