MeetingReport on the Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia and the Pacific (APHCA) 2019The FAO Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia and the Pacific (APHCA) was initiated by Asian nations at the Fifth FAO Regional Conference on Animal Production in 1974. APHCA’s mission is to enhance levels of nutrition and standards of living of livestock keepers, livestock producers and livestock value-chain actors through equitable, sustainable and safe livestock-sector development. Furthermore, APHCA supports sustainable improvement in rural livestock, agriculture and resource use through information sharing and capacity development for members. Some of the most important areas addressed by APHCA relate to the development of climate-smart livestock, dairy production, animal feeding, transboundary animal and zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. APHCA has also been instrumental in the establishment of Dairy Asia.
