    The 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.

    An account of the meeting of the 15 member nations of the Commission in Manila, Philippines from 24 to 26 September 2001, the publication also includes a report of the preceding session in Dhaka, Bangladesh in November 2000. Asian farming households make up nearly one-third of the world's population and most of them are small farmers who combine cropping with livestock raising to spread their risks. The region is home to more than 1300 livestock species, accounting for about 30 percent of the wo rld's known breeds. APHCA was set up as an inter-governmental organization to promote livestock development in the region in ways that will increase food security and living standards of small farmers and rural communities. The document includes an account of APHCA's work during November 2000 to September 2001, details of proposed long-term activities and examples of recent epidemics of transboundary animal diseases, including a detailed report of outbreaks of animal diseases that also infected humans in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore between 1994 and 1999. There is also a section on progress in preparing the first report on The State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources.
