Book (stand-alone)Policy briefAfrica Sustainable Livestock 2050 (ASL) - Livestock, health, livelihoods and the environment in Ethiopia. An integrated analysis 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report represents an attempt to operationalize the “One-Health” concept in Ethiopia. It is the result of an open and continuous multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue, guided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in collaboration with the Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Along this consultative process, national stakeholders have innovated under different perspectives. The report provides information on the methodology used to measure the returns of policies and investments aimed at tackling zoonotic diseases, whose outbreaks can have major negative impact on society, such as bovine tuberculosis and anthrax. What is possibly most valuable is that this report represents a key milestone in a longer journey we have all embarked on: we have agreed to build on this report to continue an open and informed multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue about the long-term dynamics of the livestock sector in Ethiopia. Our objective is to appreciate its trends and likely future impacts on society in order to design and implement informed policies and investments today, which will ensure a sustainable development trajectory of the livestock sector in this country in the long-term, for the benefits of the future generations. -
Book (series)Technical reportLivestock and Livelihoods: Priorities and Challenges for Pro-Poor Livestock Policy 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Livestock have a variety of characteristics that make them important contributors to sustainable rural development. They directly enhance crop output through animal traction and improvement of soil fertility. They act as a store of wealth for future investment. Furthermore, livestock provide marketable products, which are generally of higher value and less vulnerable to critical harvest timing than many crops. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyGood practices in planning and management of integrated commercial poultry production in South Asia 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This publication is a comprehensive review of poultry production in South Asia. It will help producers operate under "technically correct" conditions. All aspects of poultry production are discussed, including layer production for eggs and broilers for meat. Details are given on feeding and nutrition, housing and general husbandry, as well as on flock health. Regional specificity always exists but this type of production also shows the many similarities in other parts of the world with regads to potential and constraints. The document will be of practical value not only to anyone planning to keep poultry, and those who already keep poultry who need technical references, but also to students, researchers and project development specialists. -
Book (series)GuidelineGenomic characterization of animal genetic resources
Practical guide
2023Also available in:
No results found.Molecular biotechnologies have developed rapidly and substantially since the release of these previous guidelines. The livestock sector has been an active participant in the so-called “genomic revolution.” Advancements in the sequencing of genomes and related genotyping methods have created opportunities for gathering much more information on the molecular level than ever possible, at a faster rate, and for exponentially decreased costs. Scientists and other livestock stakeholders in countries with highly developed economies have been among the main beneficiaries of this revolution. However, the greatly decreased costs of genomic applications have also created opportunities in countries with developing and transitional economies. In many instances, the lack of awareness of these opportunities and in the technical capacity for the full application of genomic tools may represent a greater obstacle to their utilization than the expenses involved. The development of these guidelines and the subsequent application of the information contained herein may help to bridge this gap, bringing new opportunities to light and transferring knowledge that can be used to increase the genetic characterization of AnGR and subsequently improve the sustainable use and conservation of livestock genetic diversity. -
