Also available in:
No results found.This publication is intended to contribute to the implementation of the livestock and climate change development agenda. The study evaluates the potential for improving productivity while reducing enteric methane emission intensity from dairy production systems in Ethiopia. The overall objective of this study is to support Ethiopia in identifying low-cost strategies to reduce enteric CH4 emissions while contributing to Ethiopia’s short-and long-term social and economic development and increasing resilience to climate change. -
Book (stand-alone)Review of the new features of the Ethiopian poultry sector - Biosecurity implications
Consultative Mission
2008Also available in:
No results found.Traditional practices continue to dominate domestic poultry production in Ethiopia. In the past 20-25 years, however, there has been a shift to industrial production with an increase in small- and medium-scale producers that have been established to exploit mainly urban markets. Trends suggest that numbers and size of producer flocks are rising, and particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. Recognizing these changes a qualitative risk assessment was undertaken on the premise that the avian vir us H5N1 HPAI has already became endemic in Ethiopia. This assessment will help local producers and those who service and monitor them to remain vigilant for the better care of flocks and of people who come into contact with them. And, if the virus is not yet endemic – then to provide guidelines for when the virus is introduced into the country… -
DocumentThe Russian Federation: review of the dairy sector
FAO Investment Centre. Country Highlights (FAO), no. 2
2010Also available in:
In recent years, positive trends have been noted in the dairy sector in the Russian Federation. The national average milk production rose 60 percent, from 2.2 tonnes in 1997 to 3.5 tonnes in 2007. Regions of intensive production have emerged in the Northwest and Central federal okrugs, which are near centres of industrial milk processing around Moscow and St. Petersburg. These regions are characterized not only by high yields per cow but also by increasing production volumes. There has also been significant progress in smoothing out the seasonality of milk production, which has been completely overcome in some regions, in particular in the Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, Krasnodar Krai and in the Republic of Tatarstan. Both private and public investments in the sector have increased, enabling the creation of large dairy farms with modern technology. Against a background of increasing consumer demand, the milk processing industry has developed rapidly. The increase in the per capita co nsumption of dairy products, although still laging behind consumption levels in European countries, is an indicator of the high potential of the domestic dairy market.
