The livestock revolution is occurring but it is being preceded by the feed revolution because of the substantial mount of feed required to supply by the increased animal population. However, the opportunities to meet the demand for feed depend on the existing production systems. This paper looks ...

Small-scale rural farmers cannot complete with the large-scale, peri-urban, and vertically integrated systems using the same type of feed resources (i.e. imported grain cereals and protein sources), animal genotypes and facilities. In order to succeed, these farmers need to develop alternative pi...

Conflicts between conservation agriculture and livestock over the utilisation of crop residues
The demand for meat and milk in Southeast Asia has almost doubled in the past two decades, and this trend is expected to continue in following years. There is a need to enhance productivity in the prevalent smallholder crop animal systems, in order to match these increases in demand without jeopa...
