For centuries, the populations of Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) have endured material poverty, particularly in rural areas and among subsistence-oriented, rice-farming households. In the 20th century in particular, the impact of colonialism, war, and collectivist regimes exacerbated the poverty ...

Implications of farming trends for agricultural research in mainland Southeast Asia
This conference proceeding is divided in four major sessions, viz, regional overviews; technology and adoption processes; markets and smallholder participation; and food safety and quality quality. The overviews include ILRI, HOPEA (a regional small scale start-up project for household poultry en...

Research and development strategies for the livestock sector in South-east Asia through national and international partnerships. Proceedings of a workshop
This review has drawn on published research and the collective insights of a small team of experienced researchers to identify important trajectories in rice-based farming systems and to draw out the implications for agricultural research as a basis for discussion within ACIAR and the broader res...

Trajectories of rice-based farming systems in mainland Southeast Asia
Australian scientists, in partnership with Asian, African and Pacific nations have longstanding interests in applied research on helminth parasite control. Many technologies and practices have been successfully developed to control the parasite problems of smallholder and emerging farmers. This w...

Worms in smallholder livestock systems: Technologies and practices that make a difference
The negative effects of nematodes in small ruminants can be reduced by use of dewormers but their effectiveness is increasingly limited by the emergence of anthelmintic resistance. The efficacy of benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics in the Philippines was estimated by an in vitro larval development...

Options to overcome worm infection in small ruminants for producers in Nepal
The paper starts with a description of parasites of small ruminants in the Philippines. It then discusses host-parasite relationships and worm control options; looks into worm control programs; and examines impact of helminths on production. It then discusses anthelmintic plants and biological co...
This paper summarises the physical economic, cultural, and political diversity of the South-East Asian countries which are the 10 member countries of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), viz, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Philippines, Singapo...
The purpose of this chapter is two-fold. First, the information available on breeds of sheep and goats that are resistant or resilient to helminthiasis (mainly the GI nematodes) infections are reviewed. This is important information for inclusion of appropriate breeds in integrated endoparasite c...

Appropriate breeds and breeding schemes for sheep and goats in the tropics
ACIAR funded a collaborative project between research organisations in Southeast Asia for ILRI and regional partners to explore new ways to control helminth parasites in the tropics. The project aimed to increase small ruminant production in Southeast Asia by controlling internal parasites, which...
