DocumentOther documentAlternative and advanced feeding practices to promote the responsible use of antimicrobials - Report of FAO Expert Meeting
Rome, Italy, 11-14 July 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.Multiple opportunities and examples for advanced feeding practices and functional feed additives were identified that allow for the safe and effective replacement of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) and the overall reduction of the need to use antimicrobials in livestock systems.The nature of these feeding strategies is diverse, allowing a tailored approach for individual animal species and age- and production groups. Moreover, feeding practices and sustainable livestock system rely heavily on the availability of feed and feed ingredients in each geographic region. The many alternatives identified in this report include the use of locally produced feed ingredients and feed additives as well as products originating from a circular economy. They consider also the incorporation of a total nutritional approach will support the withdrawal of antimicrobials as growth promoters, and contribute to an overall reduction of the use of antimicrobials in livestock farming. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
