Meeting the increased demand for animal products in Asia: Opportunities and challenges for research
An overview of integrated animals-crops-fish production systems is discussed with reference to the relevance, achievements and future potential of these systems. The relevance of these systems is reflected in the nature of traditional mixed farming systems in Asia, from where over 90 percent of t...

The justification for productivity enhancement in animal production systems in Asia is discussed in the context of major economic changes and a changing external environment, and the inability of current systems of animal production to meet the human requirements of foods of animal origin. The si...
Strategies for improved feed utilisation and ruminant production systems are discussed in the context of the demand-led processes for foods of animal origin, in which the contribution of ruminants is lagging. Increased productivity in the future will need to come from improved per animal performa...
