Resumen
Descripción
Livestock plays a key role in the Myanmar agriculture sector. Farmers raise animals in smallholder livestock-cropping systems. They use cattle and buffalo for draught power, and pigs, chickens and ducks for cash income. In some areas, farmers collect milk from their cows and raise sheep and goats for additional income. Livestock mitigate poverty and the animals serve as a capital reserve in times of emergency.
