This module looks at animal nutrition, stabling conditions, access to pasture, and methods of preventing and treating animal diseases.
Contribution to resilience
Appropriate animal nutrition and health practices strengthen household resilience by ensuring that livestock are productive, healthy and more resistant to shocks. Balanced nutrition and disease prevention reduce losses, improve reproduction and ensure regular production. These practices support not only food security, but also the economic stability of livestock-dependent farming households.
