Synopsis (short abstract) How many households keep livestock in rural and urban areas? What are their major production and husbandry practices, and their constraints to increase livestock productivity? This infographics presents an analysis of one of the largest datasets on livestock at household level available throughout sub-Saharan Africa: the Uganda 2011/12 National Panel Survey. In Uganda, the majority of rural households depend on livestock for their livelihoods; a binding constraint to increase livestock productiv ity is their limited utilization of extension services. While technical-fixes are important, it is as much as if not more important that policies and investments also address the so-called “last-mile challenge”, with the objective to ensure that livestock farmers are informed and have incentives to adopt improved livestock technologies and more efficient production and husbandry practices.

The Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 initiative (ASL2050), under the guidance of a National Steering Committee comprising representatives of the the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Water and Environment, has designed and implemented an expert elicitation protocol to assemble information on selected zoonoses and on antimicrobial resistance. The protocol was designed to gather the data needed for measuring the impact of zoonoses on society in monetary terms. This brief presents the results of the ASL2050 expert elicitation protocol on zoonotic diseases in Uganda, as validated by stakeholders.

Global livestock production systems 2011

Also available in:

Informed livestock sector policy development and priority setting is heavily dependent on a good understanding of livestock production systems. In a collaborative effort between the Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Livestock Research Institute, stock has been taken of where we have come from in agricultural systems classification and mapping; the current state of the art; and the directions in which research and data collection efforts need to take in the future. The bo ok also addresses issues relating to the intensity and scale of production, moving from what is done to how it is done. The intensification of production is an area of particular importance, for it is in the intensive systems that changes are occurring most rapidly and where most information is needed on the implications that intensification of production may have for livelihoods, poverty alleviation, animal diseases, public health and environmental outcomes. A series of case studies is provi ded, linking livestock production systems to rural livelihoods and poverty and examples of the application of livestock production system maps are drawn from livestock production, now and in the future; livestock’s impact on the global environment; animal and public health; and livestock and livelihoods. This book provides a formal reference to Version 5 of the global livestock production systems map, and to revised estimates of the numbers of rural poor livestock keepers, by country and live stock production system. These maps and data are freely available for download via FAO’s web pages: http://www.fao.org/AG/againfo/resources/en/glw/home.html. It is hoped that this publication will stimulate further work in this field and encourage the use of livestock production systems information and maps in research and analysis.
