Book (stand-alone)Development of successful animal recording systems for transition and developing countries
Proceedings of the FAO/ICAR Seminar held in Interlaken, Switzerland, 27 May 2002

No results found.The Interbull meeting and 33rd session of ICAR were held in Interlaken, Switzerland from May 26 to 31, 2002. In this connection a joint ICAR/FAO seminar was conducted to discuss how sustainable livestock development can be enhanced in developing and transition countries through efficient organization of animal recording and skills development. The seminar referred to ICAR‘s earlier efforts to develop approaches and solutions in smallholder production environments for animal performance recording in the South and East: •Animal recording for smallholders in developing countries, Anand, India, 1997. •Cattle identification and milk recording in central and eastern European countries, Warsaw, Poland, 1998. •Developing breeding strategies for low input animal production environments, Bella, Italy, 1999. •Animal recording for improved breeding and management strategies for buffaloes, Bled, Slovenia, 2000. -

No results found.The FAO Expert Consultation on the substitution of imported concentrate feeds in animal production systems in developing countries was held at the FAO Regional office for Asia and the Pacific, in Bangkok, Thailand, from9 to 13 September1985. The rapidly increasing imports of cereals (and to a lesser extent of oil meal) for incorporation in compoundfeeds in developing countries responds to the application of classical systems established in and for developed countries. Compound feedstuff produc tion has risen at an average annual rate of approximately 15 percent since the mid-seventies. The number of feed factories has risen very rapidly although their installed capacities are more often than not under-utilised Apart from the fact that there is competitionbetween man and animal for the use of cereals in developing countries these tendencies make them more dependant upon imports (the total value of annual imports reached several billions of dollars in recent years). In sane cases gove rnmental subsidies for compound feed production may even discourage efforts aimed at increasing domesticfeed production and the search for alternative feeds. In this context FAO has on various occasions been requested by developing countries to assist in seeking effective substitutes for grain in animal feeding. This expert consultation aimed at: analysingthe present place of concentrate feeds in animal feeding systems in developing countries - proposing alternatives to imported feed ingre dients or compound feeds - analysingthe present place of the feed mill industry, identifying the problems arising from its development and considering the role it should have in the future making recommendations for the development of animal production systems more based on locally available feed resources.........
