Phenotypic characterization of Animal Genetic Resources |
|
| The Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources, adopted in 2007, is the first internationally agreed framework for the management of biodiversity in the livestock sector. It calls for the development of technical guidelines to support countries in their implementation efforts. Guidelines on the Preparation of national strategies and action plans for animal genetic resources were published by FAO in 2009 and are being (...) |

How can animal health systems support small-scale poultry producers and traders? Reflections on experience with HPAI. |
|
| This paper builds on lessons learned from the world’s reaction to HPAI in order to identify ways in which animal health systems may better include smallholders in disease monitoring, surveillance and control activities both in “peace time” and in emergency situations. It argues that only by fully engaging poultry keepers can the negative impacts of disease be reduced. However, this is not a trivial enterprise and
calls for (...) |

This paper reviews the use of cash transfers within the livestock sector and suggests how they can be incorporated into and support Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards (LEGS). Knowledge and experience of cash transfers has been growing for the past decade.
This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge and thinking on cash transfers, and makes the case that their application is relevant for livestock (...) |

How we work – CMC-AH Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health |
|
| The Crisis Management Centre – Animal
Health (CMC-AH) aims to stay ahead of disease
developments. Using intelligence collected and
analyzed by the Global Early Warning System (GLEWS)
of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal
Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO),
the CMC-AH tries to anticipate crises to which it may
need to respond. |

World Livestock 2011 - Livestock in food security |
|
| Although much has been said about livestock’s role in achieving food security,in reality, the subject has been only partially addressed and no current document
fully covers the topic. Recognizing that food security is central to international development – and to the mandate of FAO - this report tells the story of livestock and food security from three perspectives.
It begins by presenting a global overview, examining the (...) |

Adding Value to Livestock Diversity - Marketing to promote local breeds and improve livelihoods |
|
| Many local livestock breeds and minor species are in decline and may be lost
because they cannot compete with high-yielding exotic breeds. Conserving these
breeds is important: many have unique traits, such as hardiness and disease
resistance, that are vital for future livestock production. One way to help ensure
their survival may be to sell products from these breeds to high-value, specialist
markets. The Global Plan of (...) |

Livestock biodiversity |
|
| This paper describes the institutional background against which invasiveness is
considered with regard to livestock genetic diversity. The human-made nature
and extensive spread of a few domesticated animal species for global food
production is a feature of agricultural diversity that complicates the simple,
negative view of invasive species. The different impacts of livestock species on
natural biodiversity, of breed (...) |

Animal genetic resources |
|
| Livestock biodiversity is essential to food and livelihood security, particularly in the developing
world. Livestock provide meat, milk, eggs, fibres, skins, manure for fertilizer and fuel, draught
power for cultivation and transport, and a range of other products and services. Many of the
world’s rural poor – an estimated 70 percent – keep livestock and rely on them as important
components of their livelihoods. Domesticated (...) |

Climate change and the characterization, breeding and conservation of animal genetic resources |
|
| Livestock production both contributes to and is affected by climate change. In addition to
the physiological effects of higher temperatures on individual animals, the consequences of
climate change are likely to include increased risk that geographically restricted rare breed
populations will be badly affected by disturbances. Indirect effects may be felt via ecosystem
changes that alter the distribution of animal diseases or (...) |

Livestock Sector Policies and Programmes in Developing Countries |
|
| The livestock sector contributes to the livelihoods of an estimated 70 percent of
the worlds rural poor. The increasing demand for animal protein in low and
middle income countries provides an opportunity for the poor to improve their
livelihoods. However, the nature of livestock farming is determined by policy
and institutional frameworks that rarely favour the poor.
