Resumen
Descripción
Bangladesh is undergoing a transition from subsistence livestock farming to more commercially oriented production systems. Livestock constitute a critical component of the rural economy, contributing significantly to food security and livelihoods. According to current estimates of the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) the ruminant population comprises 24.86 million cattle, 1.52 million buffaloes, 3.82 million sheep and 26.95 million goats. A recent survey indicates the presence of more than 10 000 organized farms keeping ten or more cattle, while over 2 million households maintain two–nine cattle each. Despite the positive shift towards commercialization, livestock production remains highly vulnerable to transboundary animal diseases.In response to this, this project was designed to provide critical assistance in outbreak investigation, immediate containment actions and the establishment of effective risk-based control approaches that align with international standards while addressing the specific context of Bangladesh.
