联合国粮农组织 亚洲及太平洋区域会议(APRC 36)
2022粮农组织亚洲及太平洋畜牧生产及动物卫生委员会（委员会）由亚洲国家 于1971 年在粮农组织畜牧生产及动物卫生区域会议第五届会议上发起。委员会 致力于推动公平、可持续和安全的畜牧业发展，提高畜牧养殖户、生产者和 价值链行为主体的营养和生活水平。此外，委员会通过信息共享和成员能力 发展，支持可持续改善农村畜牧业和资源利用。委员会目前处理的某些最重要 领域涉及气候智能型畜牧业发展、乳制品生产、畜牧养殖、跨境动物疫病和 人畜共患病、“同一个健康”以及抗微生物药物耐药性。委员会在发起“亚洲 乳业”倡议方面发挥了重要作用。 -
MeetingMeeting document亚太区域畜牧生产及卫生委员会报告
粮农组织 亚洲及太平洋区域会议
2020The 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.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSmall ruminant value chains in Western Balkan countries 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In the past five years, the small ruminant sector in the Western Balkans has experienced a decline, most notably in Albania, where the sheep population decreased from 1.97 million to 1.48 million. Despite this setback, Albania remains the leading producer of sheep and goat milk in the region, while Serbia has achieved a remarkable 44.6 percent increase in sheep and goat meat production over the past decade.Albania's per capita consumption of mutton and goat meat stands among the highest globally at 8.68 kg/year in 2020, a stark contrast to other Western Balkans countries, where consumption ranges from 0.61 to 3.33 kg/year. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the top importer of live small ruminants, whereas Serbia and Montenegro mainly import processed sheep and goat meat.The report delineates four principal market channels for small ruminant milk and three for small ruminant meat that farmers utilize for product commercialization. Albanian small ruminant farmers predominantly focus on milk production, while their counterparts in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are inclined towards meat production.The sheep and goat sector confronts several challenges, including limited labour availability, depressed prices, and insufficient investment funds. Additionally, the undeveloped wool value chain raises environmental concerns.Regarding policy preferences, sheep and goat farmers favour direct support measures, such as per head payments for milking small ruminants. Suggested interventions include replicating successful business models, fostering collective actions, and aligning strategies with the European Union's Green Deal. The report underscores the necessity for enhanced buyer–farmer integration, effective value chain governance, and strategic farm management practices to foster growth in the small ruminant sector. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDeveloping the sheep value chain in Azerbaijan – Vision 2025 2020
Also available in:
The Sheep Value chain analysis is the first comprehensive document that describes a methodological approach to analyze the current situation of the sheep sector and its potential development. It is based on comprehensive interviews of more than 300 producers , traders and Government officials that each provides and insight in the different stakeholders role in this sector. It presents the results in a very simple way so it is accessible to all stakeholders. Finally it provides some recommendations as how to continue developing the sector, whether meat, wool or dairy. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnimal genetic resources - conservation and management 1981
Also available in:
No results found.The term "animal genetic resources" In used to include all broods, types, varieties and populations of animals that inhabit the earth under both improved and unimproved conditions. TLe conservation and management of these resources is a subject of great concern 'to both FAO and UNEP. Dr. Ralph W. Fbillips, Doputy Director-General of FAO has given an excellent summary of FAO activities In this area In the inaugural address which is Included in these proceedings. In the developed temperate zones of the world, the centuries of slow but effective selection by breeders, followed by the application of scientific brooding programmes during the present century have resulted in high levels of performance being achieved in a small number of breeds of each species. Thin eventually led to the replacement of many local low-producing broods in Europe and elsewhere by the high-producing "improver" breeds. The growing demand for animal products in warmer countries has led to this policy being follow ed world wide. Because of the case of replacing a population by artificial insemination (AI) there is a danger of genetic attrition m the scale that has already occured in Europe. Furthermore, this policy of massive grading-up in being applied in climates in which it may not be the most desirable. The genes can easily be imported (e.g. as semen), but the environment to which they are adapted in less easy to reproduce. In many cases a systematic crossbreeding programme In more appropriate than gr ading up to a temperate breed. Such a programme requires the retention of the local adapted breeds.
