BookletGuidelineGuidelines for antimicrobial use in poultry and livestock sectors in Egypt 2024
Also available in:
The misuse of antimicrobials in the veterinary sector is serious because it has a triple effect on the spread of antibiotic resistance in humans. The first is through the direct transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animals to humans, the second is through potential antimicrobial residues in food of animal origin, which may enable bacteria within bodies of humans to develop resistance to antimicrobials, and the third effect occurs due to the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animals in the environment. In Egypt, improvement of livestock and poultry productions are very important to increase the animal protein amount available for each person per year. Animal production in Egypt is variable ranges from household breeding of few numbers of animals or birds, or pastoral continuously mobile flocks consisting of tens to hundreds of animals to big and organized farms consisting of thousands of animals. These national guidelines for AMU aims to enlighten the whole community in Egypt, particularly livestock–poultry producers, about the appropriate use of antimicrobials. This is to enhance knowledge of producers for reducing antimicrobial resistance rates, avoid other negative health effects of antimicrobial residues in foods of animal origin, and to enhance safe and profitable animal production. -

BookletCorporate general interestAfrica Sustainable Livestock 2050 – Pilot intervention: Safe disposal of daily poultry mortality in broiler farms through composting, Egypt 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Malpractices in poultry farms have great impact on public health and the environment. Unsafe disposal of dead birds from the farms is one of the major risk to be addressed. The intervention presented targets small and medium size farms to introduce a safe, easy and profitable way to dispose of dead birds. The methodology used to co-create the solution for the problem jointly with the beneficiaries in both private and public sector was a key for success. Composting of dead birds was chosen as the solution to test. Field intervention to test the solution was implemented to document the process and draw up recommendations for scale up.

The 2019 Report of the Technical Cooperation Programme introduces a new series of annual reports that provide FAO Members, governments, donors, beneficiaries and other stakeholders with evidence of the impact of the work carried out by FAO through the TCP. Prepared by the Outreach, Marketing and Reporting Unit (PSRR), in close collaboration with the TCP Coordination Unit in the Office of the Assistant Director-General (ADG-PS), the first in the series presents and assesses the achievements and catalytic role of TCP-funded projects. Based on a review of the TCP projects operationally closed during 2018 and interviews with lead technical officers, technical officers at FAO headquarters, budget holders and FAO country representatives, the report provides details on the characteristics, typical interventions and results of the programme, and features a select number of in-depth stories to highlight the tangible and lasting results of the programme’s catalytic work. -
Book (series)Technical studyRanking of low-moisture foods in support of microbiological risk management: Meeting report and systematic review 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Low-moisture foods (LMF) are foods that are naturally low in moisture or are produced from higher moisture foods through drying or dehydration processes. These foods typically have a long shelf life and have been perceived for many years to not represent microbiological food safety risk hazards. However, in recent years, a number of outbreaks of foodborne illnesses linked to LMF has illustrated that despite the fact that microorganisms cannot grow in these products, bacteria do have the possibility to persist for long periods of time in these matrices. Responding to a request from the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) implemented a series of activities aimed at collating and analysing the available information on microbiological hazards related to LMF and ranking the foods of greatest concern from a microbiological food safety perspective. Seven categories of LMF which were ultimately included in the ranking process, and the output of the risk ranking, in descending order was as follows: cereals and grains; dried protein products; spices and dried herbs; nuts and nut products; confections and snacks; dried fruits and vegetables; and seeds for consumption. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileFrom Fome Zero to Zero Hunger
A global perspective
2019Also available in:
No results found.Hunger is on the rise again in the world after a decade of decline. Hunger not only cruelly affects the well-being of people, it also undermines national development prospects of any kind. It erodes human capital and productivity and exists in direct contradiction to the human right to adequate food. But hunger is a scourge that can be eradicated. This publication discusses the international Zero Hunger agenda in light of the achievements of the Fome Zero programme in Brazil. It revisits successful initiatives and discusses current actions, while also critically assessing new and growing challenges to the global food security agenda: obesity and climate change.
