Resumen
Descripción
Animal feed and feeding is pivotal to livestock production. Feed forms up to 70% of the cost of animal production and hence is financially the single most important element in animal husbandry. Animal productivity, health and welfare, product quality and safety, producers’ income, household security, but also land use and land use change, water pollution and greenhouse gas emission, are affected to a great extent by diet selection and how a diet is fed to livestock. Furthermore, animal feed and feeding directly or indirectly affects the entire livestock sector and associated services.
