CD-Rom
A CD-ROM
entitled "Dairying in the Southwest Pacific" is available.
Prepared by the Grassland Group of AGPC and the Livestock Production
and Feed Resources Groups of AGAP the CD-ROM is a follow up to the
April 1998 Regional Workshop on Milk Production and Processing held
in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Although prepared for countries in the
Pacific it contains information that will be of interest to extension
workers in dairying and pasture production and management in various
parts of the tropics and sub-tropics. The contents include training
manuals, searchable databases, bibliographies, full-text documents
and publications, country profiles and photographs relating to feeds,
forages, milk production and processing, animal health and diseases
as well as details of various suppliers and useful websites. The
CD-ROM is designed to provide a comprehensive source of information
for extension workers and has been produced with funding from project
GCP/SAM/007/FRA.
