ILCA PUBLICATIONS
The International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) is an autonomous research and information centre, whose activities and publications are funded by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The CGIAR members which have funded ILCA to date are the international Development Research Centre, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank and the governments of Australia, Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Iran, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Responsibility for ILCA publications, however, rests solely with the centre and such other parties as may be cited as joint authors.
ILCA Monographs and Systems Studies are currently ILCA's two series of scientific publications. Both present information concerned with livestock production systems of tropical Africa, though Systems Studies deal with systems as a whole, while Monographs deal with aspects of systems and range widely in subject matter, comprising several subseries.
