Book (series)Manual / guideEpidemiology, diagnosis and control of helminth parasites of swine 1998
Also available in:
No results found.Helminth parasites of swine are ubiquitous and although no precise information is available on the economic impact of these to the pig producers, there is little doubt that they are important causing reduced feed conversion efficiency and slower weight gain. Both the commercial and the small-scale farmer continuously rank worm infections high among the health problems. The difficulties in substantiating the losses are associated with the fact that the infections are chronic and less dramatic tha n other diseases of swine which make these infections among the most neglected areas of veterinary care in developing countries. In addition, a few helminths are important in veterinary public health, as transmission to humans is possible through ingestion of raw- or under-cooked meat. This handbook is written to assist animal health staff in prevention and control of these infections. The handbook, in a simple style, reviews the epidemiology of economically important helminth parasites of swine and present procedures and techniques for their diagnosis, survey and control. The book is designed for routine use in all types of animal health institutions, including universities, research institutes and field laboratories where diagnostic parasitology is performed. It is hoped that it will help to improve and standardize diagnostic capabilities as well as contribute to the collection and use of basic epidemiological data, the foundation for effective disease control programmes. -
Book (series)Manual / guideEpidemiology, diagnosis and control of poultry parasites 1998
Also available in:
No results found.Poultry products are among the most important protein sources for humans throughout the world, and the poultry industry has experienced continuing growth during the past 20 to 30 years. The extensive traditional rural scavenging systems have not, however, seen the same growth as commercial production systems and are faced with serious management, nutritional and disease constraints. These include a number of parasites that are widely distributed in developing countries and contribute significant ly to the low productivity of backyard flocks. This handbook provides an overview of the parasites of major pathogenic and economic importance and presents procedures and techniques for their diagnosis, epidemiological study, survey and control. The book is designed for routine use in all types of animal health institutions where diagnostic parasitology is performed, including universities, research institutes and field laboratories. It is hoped that the distribution of the handbook will facilit ate the standardization and improvement of diagnostic capabilities as well as stimulate the collection and use of epidemiological data, the foundation for effective disease control programmes. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuidelines resistance management and integrated parasite control in ruminants 2004
Also available in:
No results found.Population growth, rapidly increasing urbanization and growth in income in developing countries are creating a tremendous increase in the demand for food of animal origin. This livestock revolution is demand-driven, illustrated by the fact that meat consumption in developing countries grew approximately three times more than it did in the developed world during the period from the early 1970s to the mid 1990s. During the same period the production of animal food products also grew most dramatically in the countries with the increased demand. In fact the meat production in developing countries, with the exception of sub-Saharan Africa, grew at more than five times the rate in the developed countries. The projections of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) using IMPACT (International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Consumption) are that the consumption of meat and milk in developing countries will grow by about 3 percent per year between now (2003) and 2020 (Delgado et al., 1999). It is likely that this will improve the livelihood of small and medium scale market oriented farmers but only if an enabling environment is created including access to credit, development of infrastructure and animal production and health services. Farmers need access to information regarding disease control and livestock management supporting their ability to decide where to invest their resources to increase production and productivity.

Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015–16年农产品市场状况
贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
