Resumen
Descripción
There is increasing recognition of the role of livestock in sustaining and supporting poor peoples’ livelihoods and nutritional status, but the livestock sector in Myanmar is dominated by smallholder producers who keep few animals under traditional production and management systems. Husbandry practices for livestock are low input and fairly basic. The adoption of proper feeding and husbandry practices and utilization of locally available feed and fodder resources is crucial for ensuring the productivity of animals. This project was implemented to strengthen the technical, managerial and policy capacity of public and private stakeholders and overcome critical gaps in the ability to develop appropriate animal feeding strategies, so as to improve milk and meat production.
