Providing the first evidenced-based global estimates of the many
scientific, economic, policy, and capacity development impacts of
livestock research in and for developing countries. This volume is
an indispensable guide and reference for veterinarians, animal and
forage scientists, and anyone working for the equitable and
sustainable development of the world's poorer agricultural
economies. Livestock is one the fastest growing agricultural
sectors, with most growth occurring in developing countries. For
more than four and a half decades one global centre has been
mandated to conduct research on leveraging the benefits and
mitigating the costs of livestock production in poor countries.
This book focuses on the achievements and impacts of the
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and its
predecessors, the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA)
and the International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases
(ILRAD). The scientific and economic impacts of tropical livestock
research detailed in this work reveal valuable lessons for reducing
world hunger, poverty and environmental degradation. Describing the
impacts of smallholder livestock systems on the global environment,
the book also covers animal genetics, production, health and
disease control, and livestock-related land management, public
policy, and economics, all with useful pointers for future
livestock-for-development research.
