Synopsis (short abstract) The material in this publication provides information on a broad range of issues related to the livestock sector of Thailand. Such information is useful in designing policies for the livestock sector overall as well as for individual livestock industries. The design of appropriate policies will assume increased importance as livestock industries in Thailand grow. To date, information on livestock industries is limited and this makes the job of the policy adviser difficult owing to the uncertaint y related to the specific effects of particular policy initiatives or developments. Following a short introduction on the fundamental economic situation in Thailand, the characteristics of the beef, diary, broiler and layer, and swine industry are examined. The prices of livestock and livestock products, the animal feed industry and livestock performance, as well as other issues including finance and government policy, are examined.

    The scrutiny of the Asian economic crisis has almost become an industry in its own right, with a multitude of publications and statements from all sorts of agencies and people. The analysis has been global, and many, at least in the early stages of the crisis, have predicted that the effects would be global and disastrous. It is not the function of this paper to discuss the possible reasons for the crisis, but to raise questions about what might be learned from the events of the last two years a nd the period leading up to the crisis – specifically in terms of the livestock industry.

    Highlights on four livestock sub-sectors in Kazakhstan: The Dairy sub-sector 2010
    Also available in:
    In 2008, the dairy sector accounted for about 17 percent of Kazakhstan’s agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and 38 percent of its livestock GDP.1 For the last ten years, the annual volume of milk production has been increasing by an average of 4.5 percent, and has almost returned to the 1990 level (Figure 1). This growth is related mostly to increases in the cow population and in the demand for milk and dairy products (MDPs). Cow productivity has remained stable throughout the country, a t an average of 2 253 litres per lactation period.
