Data on agro-pastoralists' perceptions of climate change and adaptation options were collected from agro-pastoral communities in 7 rural districts of Kenya. Key adaptation strategies for livestock producers include mixing crop and livestock production, destocking, diversifying livestock feeds, ch...

Economic values for production traits (carrier, fat, protein, and dressing percentage) and functional traits (conception rate, survival rate, body weight, and rumen capacity) were calculated for Holstein cattle of Costa Rica. Economic values were derived using a bio-economic model that combined g...

The expanding demand for livestock products in developing countries is expected to drive changes in livestock
farming systems, such as intensification and technological development. However, while large commercial farms can
take advantage of these new opportunities, semi-subsistence agriculture w...

Forage-based livestock production plays a key role in national and regional economies, for food security and poverty alleviation. Livestock production is also considered as a major contributor to agricultural GHG emissions, however. While demand for livestock products is predicted to continue to ...

The Earth’s climate is changing at unprecedented rates, largely due to anthropogenic factors (IPCC 2007). This, together with other drivers such as population increases and increased demand for crop and livestock products, is causing agro-ecosystems to evolve faster than previously expected. Thes...
