    Technical Support to Set Up a Central Database for Livestock to Render the Sector Climate Resilient and Enhance Animal Production in the Republic of Mauritius - TCP/MAR/3802 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The livestock sector in the Republic of Mauritius is currently facing several significant challenges that could severely impact its sustainability and growth if not addressed promptly. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of effective monitoring of livestock health and productivity, which is crucial for ensuring the sector's viability. The current system for identifying and tracing livestock is outdated, relying on conventional tagging methods that have proven insufficient for maintaining accurate and timely records. This shortage has delayed the Ministry's ability to efficiently allocate resources and provide adequate support to farmers, causing in stagnation within the sector. The existing animal register system has shown its limitations, particularly during the recent outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in Mauritius. The inability to trace and monitor livestock in real-time contributed to the rapid spread of the disease, causing significant economic losses and demoralizing farmers, especially those with limited resources. Moreover, the lack of continuous monitoring has prevented small-scale farmers from accessing new market opportunities, such as those in the tourism industry, exports, and value-added activities, which are currently prioritized by the government.

    Piloting the Demonstration of the National Livestock Development Transformation Plan in Selected States - TCP/NIR/3701 2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The livestock industry in Nigeria suffers from slow growth due to a low productivity of the herds of the country This is caused by insufficient and poor quality feeds, repeated droughts, upsurges of diseases (such as bovine pleuropneumonia, peste des petits ruminants, foot and mouth disease, avian influenza and African swine fever), low livestock genetic resources, the lack of technical knowledge among producers and extension agents, the absence of appropriate infrastructures, a deficit in institutional capacities, inconsistent policies and the lack of investment in the industry In addition, Nigeria faces a sharp diminution of its available arable and grazing lands due to urbanization and climate change, resulting in reduced traditional grazing lands for transhumance and thus causing land conflicts The nomadic pastoralists, who possess the largest proportion of ruminant animal population, cannot meet the fast increasing animal protein needs of the population of the country Consequently, Nigeria depends largely on importation of animal products to meet its domestic demand, currently growing at a yearly average of around 3 percent To address this issue, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development ( requested FAO to provide technical assistance for the implementation of its national livestock plan in selected states and carry out interventions that contribute to improving the provision of goods and services to the livestock sector and to eradicating rural poverty.

    Measuring Climate Co-Benefits of Livestock Development in Cameroon - UTF/CMR/046/CMR 2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    As Cameroon seeks to develop its livestock sector while simultaneously making it more climate smart, more capacity is needed to understand how livestock can contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Funded by the World Bank, PRODEL is a large scale development project that aims to improve the productivity and competitiveness of targeted livestock production systems in Cameroon. It also represents an opportunity to adapt to climate change and mitigate its effects. To help quantify the climate benefits of investing in climate smart livestock development, this project aimed to provide technical assistance and capacity building to support PRODEL to measure its co benefits and strengthen its contribution to climate smart livestock.
